Alexandre

Alexandre (Alexandre), better known as Xande, was one of the protagonists of the series Paranormal Order, present in Signals from the Other Side.

Xande was one of the members of the group The Five, founded by Morato Vertaler, a former member of an organization that fights the paranormal. On his ID card, his role in the group was to be the responsible for the occult knowledge, being able to identify the presence of paranormal entities. Xande first appeared in the 1st episode of Signals from the Other Side, leaving from Francisco Albuquerque's van and advancing against a Dark Crawler with his cursed bat.

At the end of the investigation in the TV Varminho's Tower, Xande decided to sacrifice himself for the team so they could enter the connection. So he was tortured by the Outsider and melted by the being, losing all his memories and everything he once was.

Appearance

Alexandre was a light-skinned young man, 5.74 feet tall, having long wavy hair of dark blonde tone and blue eyes. He wore a yellow cap turned back with some white triangles and various triangle-shaped scratches. He also wore a black bandana balaclava with some white triangles, just like in his cap. He wore a yellow shirt of gray sleeves with a print of 3 black triangles, with "occult" written, and a black blouse with the sleeves rolled up underneath, as well as wearing a black shorts with knee pads. He also wears in the middle of his chest a golden brooch with the symbol of The Five.

On his body, there were several bags and bandoliers with various objects, including a knife, a turntable and small jars. Running through his body, there were silver chains, more apparent on his right arm and left ankle, that wrapped a baseball bat full of barbed wire. On his other arm, he carried with him a yellow skateboard with various details and metal adornments on the edges, as well as thorns on its wheels and with sigils and green rays on the bottom of the skateboard. He also had several injuries on both legs, some being scratches caused by falls while skateboarding and others by dog bites.

Personality

Alexandre was a very serene and inattentive young man, preferring to listen to his songs on his headset rather than talk to people most of the time. When he was not focused on his music, Alexandre proved to be very playful, short-tempered and even a little silly, speaking slowly and calmly, or loud and noisy. Xande, however, also had his more serious side, completely changing his posture when he noticed that his friends were worried or in danger, getting very angry at hearing the name "Voytek" being mentioned. Alexandre was brave and did not think twice before facing danger if it helped his companions in any way.

Biography

Past

Alexandre was born in November 27, 1978, in Minas Gerais. Since his childhood, Xande was interested in conspiratorial and supernatural subjects such as aliens and the occult, eventually discovering the online video blog of Guilherme Santos, better known as Guizo, where the young man posted footage of supposedly haunted places or where extraterrestrial beings had been sighted. In his teen age, Xande also developed an interest and skill in skateboarding, enjoying riding and practicing maneuvers in the abandoned buildings and sites that appeared in Guizo’s videos, usually invading places with a bandana covering part of his face because he believes he is committing a crime and does not want to be identified. In one of his getaways while going to skate in another abandoned place, Xande and Guizo met, the first practicing tricks on the site, and the second recording for his blog. The two quickly became close friends, sharing their interests for the paranormal and otherworldly beings and chatting all afternoon. Later on the same day, Xande and Guizo witnessed an unknown paranormal event, where they first met and helped the former agent Morato Vertaler, who took an interest in the duo, eventually recruiting them both to "The Five", his own team hunting for supernatural beings known as "Aliens".

On the team, Xande also met Francisco Albuquerque, Dara Alice Venturini, Lírio Tellini and Voytek Nowak. However, during the first mission of the group, the situation began to become more dangerous than Morato imagined, ordering them to retreat and leave the sewer where they were. However, Voytek disobeyed the leader’s orders, telling the rest of the team that they would be able to defeat the Aliens on the spot if they returned to the sewer. Despite not feeling comfortable with the idea, Xande agreed with Voytek after Guizo supported the decision to return and fight the creatures so he could film them. However, as they returned on their way out, Voytek was surprised by a horde of Aliens, being dismembered and brutally torn apart by the creatures. Terrified, the rest of the team ran out of the sewers, while Morato stayed behind to contain the monsters. The team would later return to the same location, but Voytek’s body would never be found, leaving only a dogtag on the ground and a sense of sadness and guilt in the survivors of the incident.

Quirks and Phobias

Relationships

• Francisco Albuquerque: Alexandre and Chico were good friends, coming from their years together as part of the group The Five. In addition, Xande had great confidence in his friend, his intelligence and his decisions, although sometimes he was irritated by the way Chico communicated, with "riddles" and signs, as if he was not clear enough in what he speaks sometimes. Chico and Alexandre used to smoke together, since Xande was angry when he thought Chico had smoked without him.

• Guilherme Santos: Alexandre and Guizo were best friends and, whenever they could, called each other during the mission, both to talk about information, as well as for jokes and plays. Alexandre trusted Guizo to the extreme, forming a duo with him to help him using rituals during battles, or just to have fun together.

• Dara Alice Venturini: Alexandre and Dara, as part of the same group, were naturally friends. This becomes clear in several scenes in which Alexandre had a "crush" and great admiration for Dara, demonstrating that he was very jealous of her with other people, or treating her as a goddess - feelings developed over the years as a team, in which she always took care of his injuries, giving him the feeling of "duty" to repay this care and protection.

• Lírio Tellini: Alexandre and Lírio had a certain rivalry with each other, as it was notorious the way Xande judged the partner’s actions and behaviors at certain times. However, despite such disagreements they had, Alexandre liked and cared for Lírio.

• Morato Vertaler: Alexandre had a great admiration for Morato, being happy to see him back in "TV Varminho", following his lead with confidence.

Trivia

• Alexandre had a secret greeting with Chico which is just the opposite of what he had with Guizo.
• Alexandre's favorite keyboard key is "B".
• The "OCCULT" print on Xande's shirt was created by himself during adolescence, believing it to be a genius design because most people could not decipher what was written by the unconventional way of diagramming. However, when he met Guizo for the first time, the young man was almost instantly able to understand Alexandre’s pattern.
• Because they studied the occultism together, Guizo and Xande gave their own nomenclatures to the entities of the Other Side, usually calling them by the main color they manifested, such as "Yellowish" or "Purplish". In addition, they also had a list of proper names for each ritual, calling, for example, the "Decadence" ritual "Putrish".
