Backstory: His mother had brought him from Denmark to Boston when he was a baby in order to stay with her Russian businessman fiancee, who was also little Aleksander's father. (Though this man had always insisted on calling the baby Shura.) However, her fiancee dumped her upon her arrival to the States. In desperation, she fell into a sort of prostitution.
Shura grew up under rather strange conditions. After his mother became addicted to heroin, he became the adult of the house. He often stole food for the two of them, and he quickly became well-known by his mother's clients. One of these clients, a man named Alessandro, became a sort of father figure to Shura. The two of them had a strange relationship, to put it bluntly, but Shura always wished his mother would give up her business and marry Alessandro.
One night, however, Alessandro came to their apartment extremely drunk. Shura thought he was there for his mother, but instead he took Shura. He dyed the seven-year-old's hair black, so as he resembled Alessandro's own son, who he had disowned. He beat Shura violently, but by the time he came back to his senses, the boy was on the verge of death. Overcome by remorse, he took him to the hospital anonymously, and disappeared from Shura's life forever.
At the hospital, Shura's main doctor and caretaker was a man named Dr. Jerome. The majority of time the boy had spent there, he wouldn't let anyone touch him, and went in and out of hallucinations. However, once Dr. Jerome declared him healthy enough to leave, it became clear he had nowhere to go. Dr. Jerome took him back to his own home, and Shura lived there for a year. However, at one time the doctor's teenage daughter Raimonda raised a subject that Shura's already fragile mindset couldn't handle, and he lashed out violently. Shura was pronounced dangerous, and sent to a state-run facility for the mentally ill. There, he met Hal and Ames, with whom he escaped the facility. This escape is where his time at the house comes in.
Personality: He's generally childish and friendly, and has a tendency to cling to people emotionally. Lately, he's been more prone to bursts of anger or quiet spells, but on the whole he's still Shura. He'll often be honest to the point of rudeness, and doesn't know much about what is acceptable to say out loud and what's not. He's curious and eager to learn, but can't read or write. He likes singing and drawing, but only the way a young child does-- He's not good at either. He has a severe fear of cats and nakedness. And holes. He has somewhat overcome these fears, though he's still not quite comfortable with them.
