Alexi Serbetsnya

Alexi Serbetsnya is a Mekhet in Chicago.

Overview

Alexi wanted more.

Really, at any turn of her personal history, you can simply fall back on that recurring theme: Alexi wanted more. When she was growing up poor on the South Side? Alexi wanted more. Got tutored by a pickpocket in her youth? She wanted more. Worked as the sex appeal tool for grifters and con-men in her teens? Wanted more.

Became a cat burglar, a bank robber, the mastermind of a plan to hijack a train car full of treasury notes?

More, more and - if she hadn't gotten caught on that last one - more again, probably.

She sobbed for the jury and made startling (and untrue) revelations about her boyfriend Edward, how he forced her into it, the shame, the degrading things he made her do, oh, any woman would do anything to keep such a beast of a man from harming her again . . . .

The jury brought it and she only served five years, while Edward got sent away for 15 but, as luck would have it, escaped after killing a guard and headed back to Chicago with a fairly elaborate revenge on his mind. (Edward Faulkes was something of a dummy when it came to women, but her was a genius with a lock and, additionally, pretty damn handy with an edged weapon. He taught Alexi everything she could learn, which was about half of what he knew.)

With Edward impending, Alexi needed protection, and fast, but chumps of Edward's caliber were scarce on the ground. Then she met Valencia. Valenica offered Alexi protection. Valencia offered her prestige, grace, inhuman longevity and, at first, Alexi was glad to take it. Then she learned what Valencia really was.

(Alexi wanted more.)

When Valencia wouldn't Embrace her, Alexi kidnapped her and forced the issue. Alexi's weakened sire escaped during Alexi's fledgling hunger and disorientation, leaving the neonate Alexi to make an ugly little rampage before her sire could recapture her, with the aid of an unexpected ally.

Edward Faulkes. Embraced at Valencia's command by a member of the Ventrue clan.

Edward, Valencia and that Ventrue ally had a lot of fun at Alexi's expense for a long, long time. That's why Alexi suffers from paranoia, delusions of grandeur and the odd fugue state in modern nights. But eventually Valencia and her Lordly friend had a falling-out, Edward got caught in the middle and, in the hubbub (this was during the infamous Democratic National Convention of 1968) Alexi escaped.

Alexi had gained her freedom, but Alexi wanted more.

By 1971, Edward had fled to Cincinnati. By 1978, the Ventrue sicko was in torpor and by 1984, Valencia had disappeared. All these events coincided with Alexi's growing influence with the River Snakes. By the turn of the millennium, she had become their leader.

She still wants more.
