Alexander Romanov

In the 1990s, Alexander joined a gang and developed a drug addiction. At the time, he was nicknamed "Shura Dumskoy." By the end of the decade, St. Petersburg had a reputation as the most criminal city in Russia. According to some reports, by the mid-1990s, gangsters controlled a third of Russia's drug trafficking through the St. Petersburg port and monopolized the city's entire fuel and energy business. Mikhail helped him overcome his addiction and restore his former glory. Yekaterinburg is his good friend, and Alexander considers it as such. Previously, it was the only person Romanov interacted with outside the city center. Their relationship underwent negative changes in the 20th century, but now it is as good as ever, although St. Petersburg admits that it sees Yekaterinburg less often than it would like. Alexander has the aforementioned cat, named Neva, the embodiment of that very river. He has short gray-blue fur and light blue eyes. He's calm, but sometimes gets angry.

Story Alexander Petrovich Romanov was born on May 27, 1703. His father was Peter the Great, the founder of St. Petersburg. Almost from birth, it was the capital of Russia, and later of the Russian Empire. Little Alexander was fascinated by Moscow, but Moscow was hostile to him. Despite his attitude, Mikhail began to teach Alexander how to be a capital. Saint Petersburg was born during the Northern War and had to learn its trade quickly. Although officially the capital, Moscow continued to run all affairs in its stead. After 1812, when his mentor suffered greatly, he took over the empire's affairs. Alexander became cold and reasonable, but cruel to traitors and enemies. Afterward, Mikhail recovered, and new feelings blossomed between him and Alexander. In the 18th century, he and Mikhail became lovers. In the 19th century, power drove him mad, causing him to become a cruel slave to his lover, Mikhail. The Revolution had a profound effect on Alexander, blinding him. Besides the Revolution, the execution of the Romanov family dealt a huge blow to St. Petersburg. In 1918, Emperor Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, their children—Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia—and their heir Alexei were executed in Yekaterinburg. In Alapayevsk, eight close associates of the Tsar were maimed and thrown alive into a mine shaft, which was then blown up. Grand Duke Mikhail Romanov was executed in Perm. The location of his burial remains unknown. Leningrad refused to accept it until the very end of the USSR. The Siege of Leningrad began on September 8, 1941. The Nazi occupiers planned to wipe the city off the face of the earth. The siege lasted 872 days, and Alexander remained in the city along with the locals during that time. The situation hit him hard, leaving its mark; he remained unhealthily thin for a long time afterward.

Personality Petersburg may seem cold and even stern at first glance, but in reality, this is not the case. He is a good friend and a good person, despite his high self-esteem. He has one trait from childhood: he calmly asks what interests him, even if it's obvious the other person might get angry. While as a child he would have been embarrassed when a more authoritative person told him a question was stupid, now Alexander can enter into an argument even on a topic he doesn't understand. He a priori considers himself smarter and more experienced than others, so when pressed, he's more likely to be irritated than embarrassed. He loves theater, classical music, a lot of sleep, himself, and his loved ones. He also really loves sweets, although in public he says he likes dark chocolate and espresso. He has a very low tolerance for alcohol. Even one glass of champagne can get him very drunk and talkative. He has relatives, as far as the cities know, they can't have anyone truly related by blood except the founder. He has a sister, Sophia (the embodiment of the city of Gatchina), a brother, Peterhof, and a son, Denis (the embodiment of the city of Murino), whom he dislikes and essentially rejects as his own son because he's a bit backward.

Appearance Alexander is tall, with pale skin, thin eyebrows, a "sad" slant to his eyes, rather long eyelashes, and gray eyes. His hair is short and wavy, chestnut-colored. He now wears round glasses for a more respectable appearance. He was blind during the Revolution, and spent the entire 20th century working to restore his sight.
