Aleister (also known as Timothy Ashmont) is the biological son of Ruth Winterbourne who she gave to Clara to kill as witches can only have female offspring, for a male would bring about the end of them and the world. Clara attempted to kill him by drowning him as an infant but couldn't so she left him on the porch of a church who took him in and gave him up for adoption. He developed his powers and was thought to be a devil by his religious family, resulting his vicious physical abuse at his adoptive father's hands. After killing his father with his powers, specifically by making him bleed out from seemingly every part of his body, and living on his own, he was confronted by Clara, who taught him dark magic, the fact that witches wanted him dead, and his destiny to bring about their end.
