“If you insist, I have no other option...”

* Sirrah, Sorcerer of Pegasus (Formerly)

### Prefered Items

Alpheratz is the First Sorcerer of Andromeda and the fourth love interest the summoner meets. He is a very talented, though lazy sorcerer that spends most of his time napping of avoiding the Guide Committee responsibilities. Many people are paying attention to his natural magical talent. However, contrary to expectations, the lectures and guide committee activities are low in his priorities.

## Appearance

Alpherats is a young man that stands at 188 cm and has Chestnut Brown hair. He has a light olive complexion and lavender down-turned eyes. Alpheratz wears his uniform messily, choosing to use the trenchcoat variant of the school's jacket on his shoulders. His shirt, though tucked, has the top unbuttoned and its sleeves cuffed. His pants are cut to the ankles and he wears oxford brown shoes.

## Personality

Alpheratz is aloof and calm, often preferring to relax than fulfill his duties. Despite that, he is still at the top of his classes and displays immense talent for magic─ something he gets annoyed at if someone points it out. In spite of his usual stoic demeanor, Alpheratz cares deeply for the guide committee members and has taken the role of a 'Big Brother' of sorts to the younger members.

## Backstory

Alpheratz was born in the West Boundary and is a little bit over a century old. Due to his grandfather's involvement in the First Great Disaster, Alpheratz's family is well-respected and admired by most sorcerers. Not much is known about Alhperatz's childhood aside from the fact that he was raised alongside Spica.

**SPOILER**

It is revealed in  11-6 that Alpheratz went by the name of Sirrah in an alternate timeline; One in which Sirius also destroyed the towers of Babili and the Summoner was turned into a monster and died in the process. Sirrah is another name for the star Alpheratz, back when it was part of the Pegasus constellation.

## Main Story

Alpheratz makes his first appearance in  1-2 and is initially dismissive of the whole situation, warning the Summoner about being too trusting towards sorcerers. True to his hedonistic personality, Alpheratz only gets involved when it is strictly necessary and often skips classes and naps at the gardens of Contell. He often has to be chased down for meetings. Despite that, he is not above breaking rules and getting into fights when they threaten his carefree lifestyle, which results in him using magic to fight a couple of Tharaval students in  1-17.

## Magic and Abilities

Alpheratz's magic capabilities are vast and he is considered to be a prodigy amongst his peers. So far we have seen him perform extremely intricate healing spells ( 3-11) and he's been able to make an entire field of flowers bloom in an instant. He also remains at the top of his classes despite playing hooky and is part of a band playing an unspecified instrument.

## Relationships

### Summoner

“You are energetic, following me all around.”

Though not actively antagonistic towards the summoner, Alpheratz does make it clear he is not happy by being made charge of their care at first. As the story progresses, Alpheratz develops a soft spot for the summoner and starts taking a more active role in protecting them and helping them get accustomed to Contell. He is protective of the summoner and often urges them to have fun and relax whenever possible.

**SPOILER**

It is later revealed in 11-6 that not only Alpheratz was once Sirrah of Pegasus, but that he and Summoner knew each other back in his days as the former star of that constellation. That's the reason why he and Summoner were imprinted beforehand. He and the Summoner also worked alongside one another back when they went by the name of Polaris.

### Arcturus

"This is not the time for Arcky to think of others..."

Though their interactions are limited, Alpheratz and Arcturus maintain a friendly relationship, with Alpheratz often worrying about Arcturus's well-being and the overload of work he often gets caught up in. Despite that, Alpheratz does get annoyed with Arcturus's pushiness and is known for pranking him in various ways as revenge for interrupting his naps.

### Pollux

"I get a bad feeling when the little boy's eyes start to twinkle."

Alpheratz and Pollux were introduced together in  1-2. Though they seem to be at odds at the start of the chapter, with Alpheratz agreeing that he 'hates' Pollux if the summoner chooses to point out their bickering, the two are shown to be very close to each other. Pollux even claims that he is Alpheratz's only genuine friend if the summoner chooses the other dialogue option. Alpheratz has taken a sort of 'big brother' role towards Pollux, and he often tries to keep him out of trouble. He is also aware of Pollux's bad luck and sympathizes greatly with him. He refers to him as 'little boy' or 'troublesome little boy' quite often.

### Spica

"I don't know if it's a strong or bad relationship with Spica."

Spica and Alpheratz are childhood friends that have known each other for 100 years. Alpheratz often avoids Spica at Contell and often asks the summoner to cover for him, he also likes to egg Spica on and is often shown doing things just to spite him. In return, Spica often inserts himself in Alpheratz's plans to annoy him. Either way, the two do seem to care a lot about each other and their well-being.

### Sirius

"Doesn't... Sirius seem a bit suspicious?"

Alpheratz is suspicious of Sirius since the beginning, and though he isn't as vocal as Vega is, he is shown to be skeptical of Sirus's intentions and good will towards the summoner. He later asks the summoner not to spend too much time alone with Sirius, a desire that's also echoed by Vega.

### Vega

"Have you ever seen... Vega get mad?"

Not much is known about Vega and Alpheratz's relationship, but they seem to get along well.

### Schedar

"Please pretend you don't know anything if someone looks for me."

Schedar is Alpheratz's grandfather which he dislikes greatly. He has not elaborated on the specific reason, but he often describes Schedar as annoying, pompous and show-offy. He also avoids mentioning any family relation or even calling him by his name; Often referring to him by 'old man'.
