His Holiness, Alessandro XVIII, stands as the 399th Pope of the Catholic Church. He is the offspring of the previous pope, Gregario XXX, and a member of a notable Roman family through his mother. Upon his father's passing, Alessandro ascended to the papacy over his uncle, Archbishop Alfonso d'Este. This role was not one he sought for himself; rather, Alessandro can be depicted as a timid and easily startled adolescent who struggles with self-assurance and conviction. His anthropophobia is pronounced, making him particularly vulnerable to loud noises, especially when they are aimed at him. Despite occupying the pinnacle of authority within the Vatican, Alessandro frequently turns to his elder siblings, Francesco and Caterina, for counsel.
