House of Alexandrov
"L'avenir connu."—The family motto, translating to "the known future."
The Noble & All Seeing House of Alexandrov is one of the oldest, and wealthiest pure-blooded wizarding families in Britain, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Many wizarding families in Britain are distantly related to the House of Alexandrov. Like the Black and Malfoy families, the House of Alexandrov is synonymous with elevated status and wealth.
----------------------------
Early History
-----------------------------The Alexandrov family traces its origin back to the Middle Ages, believing to have begun with the famous seer witch Cassandra Blackthorne.
The people knew her name all around the wizarding world, at the tender age of 17 she was known as the most powerful seer in centuries. Everyone was fascinated by her and her seeing indigo eyes and they all flocked to her to have their fortunes told. Her Hogwarts nickname 'Madame Cassandra, Seer of All' followed her all the way until adulthood as she gained more power and popularity.
'Madame Cassandra, Seer of All', artist unkown.Eventually, she was awarded the prestigious recognition of "Order of Merlin, 2nd Class" for her exceptional abilities by the Ministry of Magic and was offered a position in the Hall of Prophecies as a Prophet, which she accepted and succeeded in adding more than 300 prophecies to their collection.
At age 25 she married an unknown man and bore two children: Elizabeth Blackthorne and Nathaniel Blackthorn, she spent her time and energy raising them until they turned 11, then proceeded to continue with her trade of Fortune Telling.
In the 1400s Cassandra and Elizabeth were now household names due to their powers, and Nathaniel grew jealous of both of them. He craved the power they had, and he wanted to have his own power too. Letting darkness consume him he began his path into turning himself into a Dark Lord, but his first task must be to harness his mother's power in some way. He snuck into his mother's room as she slept and used the killing curse on her before she could react, he then proceeds to rip her eyes from her lifeless body and molded them to create The Blackthorn Twin wands.

Physical Appearance
----------------------------For generations, Alexandrov descendants have been considered to be "magically good looking," being of tall and elegant stature, with attractive features.
The traditional look for Alexandrov women is bright red hair and their distinct indigo eyes, though there were some exceptions: Loreley Marie Alexandrov having golden eyes due to her Veela heritage.
Like the women, Alexandrov men will possess attractive features and a talent for magic but lack distinctive colored eyes and fiery red hair. The males are often born with dark ginger or brunette hair and light-colored eyes, though exceptions do exist: Nathaniel Noah Warren being a blonde with indigo eyes.

The Alexandrov Twin Wands
----------------------------Cassandra Elizabeth Blackthorne, the mother to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Blackthorne, became known throughout the world as an amazing seer and a powerful witch.
Methuselah, 14 3/4", Seer Eye Core, Springy, Defensive. Owner:Nathaniel Noah WarrenHer only daughter was born with the same gift as her. Her son Nathaniel, grew jealous of the rising fame of both his mother and sister and so he committed the most awful of crimes. Cassandra's eyes, against her will, were morphed into the core of twin wands.
With the power of his mother, he confronted his sister eventually losing both the wands and his life.
The Blackthorne Twin wands have been passed down Alexandrov generations, through Elizabeth Alexandrov née Blackthorne's bloodline, since the 1400s. Though the wands never seemed to choose anyone, the wand continued to be kept as a family heirloom, always tested with each generation. The wands continued to be tested until 1970 when both wands chose Morgan and Noah as their masters.
Due to the wand's core coming from the eyes of their ancestor, they hold the family's DNA. They don't respond properly for others who try to use them; in an emergency, any Alexandrov could use them. Someone who isn't a descendant would find their spells backfiring on them.
