Before his rather....explosive...introduction to the Secret World, Aleph was a no-name, unimportant guy working in Oklahoma City. He was born to two loving, if bland, parents and has been living on his own for several years. His previous employment was as a customer service rep in a call center. His life was as quiet and mundane as you could ask for (minus one or two failed attempts at Golemetry, though there may be some...darker...parts to his past that he doesn't discuss generally.), until one night a bee flew in through his window while he slept...

Aleph was introduced to the War (and the Secret World as a whole) when he unintentionally swallowed a bee in his sleep. He quickly developed Anima-related powers (thanks to which he will NEVER get his security deposit back on his apartment!), specializing in Elementalism and Chaos. Shortly after gaining basic control over his abilities, Aleph was contacted by a representative of a shadowy group that was interested in what he could do.

After a long run through the bowels of NYC's sewer systems, Aleph was forcefully introduced to the Illuminati. He gets along well with the organization, though his boss KG isn't quite sure what to make of him. He doesn't fit the typical Lumie mindset: sex and drugs don't interest him. However, he's developing a growing fondness for launching fireballs at people, and seems to be enjoying the Lumie tendency to manipulate events from the shadows. He's also showing a growing-if friendly-rivalry with the Templars.

-Aleph has risen quickly through the ranks of the Illuminati, reaching the rank of Senior Agent.

-He is skilled at both Elemental and Chaos magic, having mastery in both. He is also currently training with both shotguns and assault rifles.

-He has a somewhat embarrassing love of motorcycles and can often be seen riding his Gilded Geist Rider or Speed Demon around on missions.

-Aleph's favorite pet is a Draugr Lord Puppy (affectionately referred to as "Squish") that followed him home from Agartha.

-Aleph is always willing to jump in and defend someone he thinks is innocent (much to KG's dismay), especially if it tweaks the nose of a Templar or Dragon representative.

-Aleph is in a relationship with Auroborus.

-Starting in late July 2017, Aleph was in a feud with the group called the "Free Judges."
