==Background==
Alfred is the heir to the throne of a peaceful nation called Firene. He has a mother named Ève and a younger named Céline. Due to suffering from an illness wich slowly kills him since childhood and made him very sick back when he was younger, Alfred decided to adopt an healthy lifestyle in order to stronger and overcome his illness. He managed to become tough enough to become a general in his country's army leading his troops from the frontline and actively protecting his country. However, his old illness sometimes resurfaces, which causes some heart attacks. He hides it from his allies out of fear that they would look done upon him, though he believes deep down that he will live a short life because of his terminal disease.
He often visited the Divine Dragon Alear, who had been alseep for a millennia following their fight with their father Sombron, out respect for the Divine Dragon's faith and for Alear's mother, Lumera who is both his land's deity and a good friend of Alfred's own mother.
==Biography==
When the Kingdom of Elusia worshipping the malvolent Fell Dragon attacked his country and led assault on his palace, Alfred went with his retainers Étie and Boucheron to Lythos, the land of the Divine Dragons in order to ask for the help of ifs queen and goddess Lumera. 
He and his retainers first appear in chapter 3, where they arrive to Lythos Castle while searching for Lumera. Alas, Alfred and his servants quickly discover that the castle is under attack from the Elusian army. After discovering that Alear is now awake after spending a millenia in a comatose state, but his now the target of Elusia's forces, Alfred agrees to help them push back the Elusian general Abyme and follow them to the Emblem rings volt, where the divine powerful items are kept. They try to stop the Felll Dragon's daughter form taking the rings, but she manages to escape with four of them and kills Lumera. After burying their mother, Alear accepts to help Alfred save his country and family.
They leave Lythos with their respective servants and go to Florra Mill Town, a town of Firene, where they discover that Alfred's sister Céline took the country's Emlem ring at her mother's demand so Sombron's forces could not get their hands on it. After Alear summoned the Emblem siprit residing inside the ring, Celica, they engage in battle the Elusian army, save Céline's knights Louis and Chloé and kill the Elusian general chasing Céline.
They later reach Firene Castle, only to discover that Sombron's right-hand woman Zephia already took over the palace. After defeating Zephia's underling Nelucce and rescuing the queen, the latter reveals to the heroes that her country has another ring, wich his kept at a shrine. Alfred agrees to lead Alear to the Emblem's location and to help them stop the Fell Dragon and Zephia. As a result, Alfred, Céline, Étie, Louis, Chloé and Boucheron join Alear's army for the rest of the war against the Fell Dragon Sombron and Alfred becomes Alear's second in command.
Alear and Alfred reach the shrine, only to discover that the ring has been stolen by a friendly thief called Yunaka... who lost the ring to another thief named Teronda, who is attacking the nearby town. After getting back the ring and killing Teronda, Yunaka joins the army to make up for stealing the ring.
