(ʃƪ^3^) ALEXANDER ( ́ε` )
Ohhh, yes — and I’m going to separate what the show actually establishes from the personality/relationship traits we can reasonably infer from his behavior, because some online character pages are still pretty sparse. 😭
Alexander is portrayed by Brendon Tremblay and is a recurring vampire character at Coven Academy. He’s specifically described as an experienced vampire who mentors Ollie through controlling his new instincts, and his approach is more tough-love + discipline than soft reassurance. �

🧛 Alexander — detailed character breakdown
👀 His appearance
Alexander has the kind of appearance that fits the quietly intimidating vampire archetype rather than someone who needs to be flashy to get attention.
He's portrayed by Brendon Tremblay, and Alexander is depicted as a teenage student despite his comparatively experienced position among the vampires. The character has brown hair and brown eyes according to the character information available, with a generally composed, confident appearance. �
Coven Academy +1
What really defines his visual presence, though, is his demeanor.
He tends to carry himself like someone who knows exactly where he stands.
He doesn't have to constantly prove that he's powerful. There's a sort of:
"I've already figured this out. You haven't."
energy to him.
His expressions and body language tend to make him feel more controlled and observant than openly emotional. He gives the impression of somebody who notices what's happening around him before deciding whether it's worth reacting to.
And because he's a vampire mentor, that confidence makes sense. He's already been through the stage Ollie is currently experiencing.
🧠 His personality
This is where Alexander gets interesting.
He's not simply "the mean vampire."
He's much more of a protective, disciplined, somewhat gruff mentor.
🖤 Confident
Alexander is comfortable with himself.
He knows what he's capable of, and he doesn't seem particularly interested in getting approval from everyone around him.
That gives him a somewhat aloof quality.
He's not the person desperately trying to be the center of the room.
He's the person who can stand toward the edge of the room and somehow still feel like you should probably pay attention to him.
🧊 Controlled
Control is probably one of the biggest parts of his character.
As a vampire, he understands the darker instincts that come with vampirism, and he has learned to manage them himself.
That's why his advice to Ollie isn't essentially:
"Don't be a vampire."
It's more:
"You're a vampire. Learn how to control yourself."
He's practical about supernatural problems.
He doesn't believe pretending something isn't there will make it disappear.
🛡️ Protective
This is arguably his biggest softer trait.
Multiple character descriptions emphasize Alexander's protective/nurturing side, particularly toward people he considers his responsibility. �
People.com +1
And there's an interesting contradiction there:
He's protective, but he isn't necessarily gentle about it.
That's important.
Alexander's version of caring can look like:
"I'm being hard on you because I know you're capable of better."
rather than:
"Aww, it's okay. Don't worry about it."
😭
He's basically tough love personified.
🧠 Intelligent and experienced
Alexander has something Ollie doesn't:
experience.
He's already learned how to live with being a vampire, so he understands the things Ollie is struggling with.
That makes Alexander more than just another student.
He's somebody other vampires can actually learn from.
He's observant, practical, and seems to value competence.
If somebody tells him something, he'd probably be more interested in what they actually do than what they claim they're going to do.
😏 Dry / sarcastic
There's also a more relaxed side to him.
When he's around people he trusts, his serious exterior can crack into sarcasm and teasing.
So I don't imagine his humor as being:
"HAHAHAHA I'M SO FUNNY!"
It's more:
deadpan comment → tiny smirk → walks away
Which is honestly worse. 💀
He seems like the type who could roast someone without changing his facial expression.
🧍♂️ His relationships with other people
Ollie
This is probably the clearest relationship to analyze.
Alexander acts as a mentor to Ollie, helping him understand how to deal with becoming a vampire and controlling the instincts that accompany it. �
DIRECTV
Their relationship has an interesting dynamic because Alexander isn't simply comforting Ollie.
He's training him.
Alexander understands that Ollie needs to learn control, so he pushes him rather than allowing him to constantly avoid the difficult parts of vampirism.
That means Alexander can come across as harsh.
But underneath that harshness is basically:
"I know you can handle this, and I'm not going to let you convince yourself that you can't."
That's actually a pretty important distinction.
❤️ What would Alexander be like as a partner?
Okay — this part is partly interpretation, because the show doesn't establish a complete romantic relationship for Alexander. So this is based on his established personality and how those traits would reasonably translate into a relationship.
And honestly?
He'd probably be way softer than he initially appears.
But only with someone he genuinely trusts.
💗 He'd take relationships seriously
Alexander doesn't strike me as someone who would date somebody purely because they're attractive.
He'd want to actually respect the person.
Someone being interesting, intelligent, independent, or able to challenge him would probably catch his attention much more than somebody simply admiring him.
He already has confidence.
He doesn't need a partner whose entire personality revolves around telling him how amazing he is.
He'd probably prefer someone who can look him dead in the eye and go:
"You're being ridiculous."
And he'd secretly love it.
🛡️ Protective, but not necessarily controlling
This distinction matters.
Alexander's protective instincts would probably be strong, especially considering how seriously he takes responsibility for other vampires.
But healthy Alexander wouldn't need to control his partner.
His instinct would be more:
"Are you okay?"
"Do you need help?"
"Tell me what happened."
rather than automatically deciding everything for them.
And if his partner genuinely wanted to handle something themselves, he'd probably respect that — even if he stood nearby looking like he was mentally preparing to intervene anyway. 😭
🤍 He'd show affection through actions
I don't think Alexander would be the type who constantly says extremely emotional things.
He'd probably communicate affection through what he does.
For example:
remembering small details they mentioned
checking whether they're okay
quietly helping them with something
making sure they got home safely
noticing when they're upset
defending them when necessary
teaching them something he knows
giving them his attention when they genuinely need it
teasing them when they're comfortable enough with each other
Basically:
"I care about you" → demonstrated rather than announced.
😭 What happens when he actually falls for someone?
This is where his personality would probably become noticeably different.
Alexander seems like someone who maintains emotional control.
So if he unexpectedly developed strong feelings for somebody, he might initially become more guarded, not less.
He'd probably spend time figuring out exactly what he's feeling before admitting it.
He'd notice little things.
Their habits.
Their expressions.
What makes them laugh.
What annoys them.
What they're afraid of.
And he'd remember those details.
The funny thing is that he could probably convince himself:
"I'm simply being observant."
Meanwhile everyone else:
"Alexander. You're staring."
💀
😏 His flirting style
Probably subtle and teasing.
Not overly dramatic.
Not constantly romantic.
More like:
Partner: "Why are you looking at me?"
Alexander: "I'm not."
Partner: "You literally are."
Alexander: "You noticed."
That kind of annoying little confidence. 😭
He'd probably enjoy playful arguments because they give him an excuse to interact with the person without having to immediately admit he's being affectionate.
