Only for them to erase it from their character interactions and never bother talking about it again.
You make it sound like wanting to stay within the bounds of the lore is a bad thing. I never got why people felt the need to tie their characters to important lore figures or give them powers on par with people/jobs that are supposed to be legends or extremely rare.
It's safer and more interesting to play something original that fits the established lore than try to find ways to bend it to justify your character having X ability.
They happen more often than you think. I'm just pointing out if he goes for the Alexander idea he will encounter them.
I've never seen this happen, not even once. Now if you're including anyone whose character doesn't immediately buy into the fact that your character can do things that they really shouldn't be able to in the confines of the lore, that's entirely different and something you need to get used to.
There's a difference between legit having an interest in the justification to mayhap help said person, and doing it for shits and giggles to tell your other friends
