Biography
Alfred was born in June 1872 in a private home in Schenectady, New York. His family heritage was mostly Italian, with some English heritage (due to the surname Tomlinson). He learned fluent Latin, Italian and English during childhood and also studied Math, Business and Literature. Being an only child, Alfred felt much pressure and distance from his father, being practically raised by his mother. Both of his parents were nil-widgae; making him a nil-widgae.

In 1890, Alfred moved to New York City and quickly became a socialite and businessman, working closely with his father, friends and other first class nobilities. His mother, Patricia, later died of unknown causes sometime in 1891-1893, causing Alfred a great deal of depression; making him discover his mastery in painting. He refused the idea of marriage until 1894, when he met Isabella McDonald. They dated for about two months, much to the amusement of Alfred; eventually proposing in mid 1894. Despite being engaged, Isabella kept her widgae identity hidden, in fear of him leaving.

They married in May 1895 where Alfred learned of Isabella's widgae identity and the widgaeworld. Despite being newlywed to Isabella, Alfred disliked the idea of children, desiring to explore the rest of his young adulthood. This caused much stress with Alfred Sr. and Theodore, who were misled into believing Isabella was infertile. Instead, Isabella and Alfred planned to travel to Europe before children. During marriage Alfred was 23, while Isabella was just turning 19 (18 during engagement).

Physically, Alfred was taller than Clifford and Isabella McDonald, but around the same height as Theodore. He was not very muscly, but also not 'porky'. He had dark brown hair and hazel eyes and his skin tone was slightly tanned. He had curly hair and a curly beard.
