Algernon Moncrieff is the third child, who wanted to become the patriarch of his noble name. Unfortunately him being third in line made it impossible, but he still worked hard to upkeep the good title of his family. Since he was old enough to attend balls with his parents, he tried his damnest to become the star of the show. 

Again, him being the third child made, especially when he grew older, his parents paid very little attention to young Moncrieff. However, a family that's been very close with the Moncrieff house brought him a longtime friend named Jack. And since the first day, Jack has been Algy's buddy. They've never passed up an opportunity to spend time each other, or it was usually Algy dragging Jack along to anywhere and everywhere. Until it was certain that his eldest brother were to take the Head of the household, he figured it was time for Algy to make a name for himself in other ways. At first he wanted to be a famous jewelry maker, but it was difficult to maintain a decent life (without the help of his noble family). 

With little opportunity, he simply picked up a gun to take part of a mercenary guild alongside Worthing. During his hunting days, he realized that he was skilled with a gun and took this against his enemies to earn a living. He eventually left the guild with Jack when they've easily made a name for themselves - they were a wanted pair after successfully handled a group of powerful mages singlehandedly. At this point, all mages were being hunted down by Algernon, hence the alias "Magehunter." However, the longer he was defeating (if not killing) magic-users, it took a tool on Algy's mentality towards mages overall. Worthing, who was undergoing the same thing, suggested that they withdraw from their mercenary and assassination work before anything happened.

And so he did. He followed Jack all the way back to Belvar once again and he fell in love with a wonderful, daring woman that went by Cecily. She, too, was a noble. At first she was Worthing's lover at first but with the whole... awfully confusing events regarding their 'Ernest' name [Refer to The Importance of Being Earnest], Cecily turned her hand over to Moncrieff. Soon after their marriage, she gave birth to two beautiful twins - both named after their beautiful mother.

He wanted to stay like this for the rest of his life. Though, he was horrified when Jack lost his wife by a band of mages who wanted revenge against them. During his time for comfort, it wasn't long for Algernon to follow the same fate. He, too, lost his wife while she went out to attend a ball, the same group ended up tailing her mid-journey back to her house. Fortunately his twins were safe and sound at their home and was taken care by his servants.

Since that event, he thought that his frenzy against magic was over. Instead, his hate grew and grew progressively to a point that any notice of magic, he felt the need to wring the neck of any spell user. He decided to continue his contract mercenary work under his other alias as a jewelry-maker, but only if his targets were involved with magic.

The Heroes of Belvar

Algernon works his life as a jewelry maker, but also attends two different businesses under that: first business is creating a variety of very decorated (and dangerous) weapons, and second, accepting mage-related contracts for mercenary works and assassinations. It was only until recently, a strange, mysterious man came to both Algy and Jack to form a contract to dispose of Culus Zane, a nobleman belonging to one of the most powerful houses in the city - and claimed that Zane was a secret magic-user who used his powers to take advantage over servants that worked for him.

The stranger seemed trustworthy enough, or perhaps the two of them were just simply excited to get rid of a corrupted mage, thus immediately making their way to their target before being interrupted by an unfamiliar and powerful rogue that was capable of disarming the both of them. Before a death even occured, Lucien the Butler impeded the fight and explained the situation regarding the inner turmoil that's been going on in Belvar. 

There was nothing wrong with believing in Lucien. Sparing both the butler and the rogue, Azrael, they voided the contract instantly. However, voiding the contract of killing Culus only made both Worthing and Moncrieff in an unsettling position, after coming home to see that their children are missing. With no plan or idea as to how to find their children, they immediately teamed up with Lucien and Azrael to stop the civil war - hoping that their children will be saved in the process.
