Alouis' mother died while he was quite young leaving him to be raised by his father and uncle on their small vineyard just outside of Paris. His father was a good and kind man, a dedicated father and a GREAT winemaker. He even home-schooled him and he and his brother even taught Alouis to speak English. (Unfortunately, his father had been taught to speak English by his brother, who oddly enough only spoke English and Russian. Hence the awkward accent...)

His uncle left home suddenly several years ago and even though Alouis would never think of leaving his father or the only home he ever knew, his heart just wasn't in it. When his father died late last year, he decided to sell the vineyard and move. The question was... WHERE? He had never lived anywhere else.

Fate stepped in at that point when he when he won a paid 4 week vacation on Morada on a radio contest. (It was the millenium countdown show. He lucked out and was caller #2000... ) When he arrived on Morada, the people were (mostly) all very friendly and he made friends quickly. So, despite the ridiculously high crime-rate, he cashed in his return ticket and decided to stay and apply for a job as an island guide.
