Alan

**Overview**

## Introduction

Alan's family has lived in Finsel for generations. The guardsmen call him a reliable captain, strict supervisor, and a good friend. Meanwhile, he also has other labels such as poor civil servant, beloved little brother and ordinary boy with little knowledge of romantic relationships. His most notable trait is his sense of justice — but he is not sure if he can consider it a good trait.

### First Meeting

* **Self introduction (+30)**
* Ask his name

### Mom's Opinion

Let me make it clear, Magda, even if this Mr. Alan begs you with innocent eyes, *you can absolutely not fall in love with a civilian*, let alone a civilian who needs to go to the battlefield everyday! You cannot love him no matter how cute he is! No, no, no, even if he is very cute in uniform shorts, or he blushes upon seeing you, the answer is still no!

## Q&A

**Note that the wording of the questions may be different from the questions presented in the game.**

## Favor Quest

### Main Story

"To Lady Ellenstein" from the Season 1 Chapter 2 Part 6 Main Story quest, Relations II:

Dear Lady Ellenstein, this is Alan! Um...... I don't write to nobles very often, so I'm not sure if my wording is appropriate... But it was nice dancing with you! Being friends with you is... great too! Hah... I hope I didn't use any rude words, though I don't think you would mind that. That's it, I am very much looking forward to seeing you next time!
"To Lady Ellenstein" from the Season 1 Chapter 3 Part 7 Main Story quest, Ask Alan:

Lady Magda, it's me, Alan, again. Is it impolite for me to introduce myself first every time I write? But the Viscount says there is nothing wrong with that, and you are not one of those pedantic nobles... Well, the actual reason is I'm used to giving my name first when the Guardsmen line up... Sorry, am I going too far? I... I'm not good at writing letters... At the thought that these words will be only one palm away from your face, I...can't write more! I have to stop! By the way, please send my regards to Mrs. Ellenstein. I hope she doesn't mind my last letter which I inadvertently forgot to greet her...
"You Don't Have to" from the Season 1 Chapter 6 Part 2 Main Story quest, The Crisis of the Curing Hall:

Lady... Ellenstein. It's Alan. About the thing we discussed in the Curing Hall today... You don't have to force yourself. It has caused both the Sky Church and us a lot of trouble, and it is not as simple as it looks... Well, do I sound too pretentious by talking like this? Playing mature doesn't suit me. Anyway... You don't have to push yourself too hard. We fight hard to protect people, and the Curing Hall heal the people who are wounded. They are the reason why we fight. The Guardsmen won't stand by! - Alan
"Alan" from the Season 1 Chapter 6 Part 12 Main Story quest, Tacit Understanding:

Magda, thank you and Mrs. Ellenstein for your hospitality. The atmosphere tonight was so special... Well, I don't know how to put this. It was an... unspeakable feeling. Phew... It's great to solve the issue of the Curing Hall peacefully. It's also great to have drinks with you like this. To make sure everyday can be like this, we need to pay more efforts. Let's keep fighting together! Magda!
"Dazzling Future" from the Season 1 Chapter 8 Part 2 Main Story quest, Reject Bavlenka:

Magda, this is Alan writing to you. Have you arrived home? I just patrolled back from the street. I don't know if the weather is getting colder. The number of activities of Sulla seem to have decreased. Recently, the city is stormless. We are going to take a long distance from tomorrow and expand the scope of patrol. Uh... are you wondering why would I write this letter since we just met at the ball? Actually... I don't understand why either, but I want to write to you, even if nothing happens. But as long as I know that you are safe at home and quietly reading my letter by the fire, I will feel full of... motivation! Recently, some people in the city always feel that the good days are over, but I don't think so. Our future, and the future of Finsel, will shine in any case! I firmly believe that!
"Why?" from the Season 1 Chapter 8 Part 12 Main Story quest, Sakan Ball:

Magda, there have been a lot of things tonight, and I can't explain it to you one by one. The good news is that the position of City Guard has been restored. We have met the saint and confirmed that she... is fake. About the bad news... I don't know if this is bad news. The girl who pretends to be the saint has been arrested and she might be executed. And half of this result was made by us. The Viscount told me that he only made the right choice instead of a just choice. I understand what he said. The responsibility on the shoulder gives us the right to fight, and we have to give up some important things. But... but! Are we fighting not to defend anything? Not to give people who have no choice a choice? Does the girl who fakes the Saint have a choice? Isn't she innocent? Why... Why does she have to take responsibility for this... -Alan
"Don't worry about me" from the Season 1 Chapter 9 Part 4 Main Story quest, Return:

Magda, Xavier told me that you will greet us at the city gate today? I... I am so happy! I am also looking forward to seeing you again! However, the situation here does not allow us to relax. I have no idea when can we return to Finsel, but I will fight seriously and never allow any Sulla into Finsel. Magda, you need to take care of yourself (does it sound rude?) Bu the way, don't worry about me, I will lead everyone back to Finsel safely! (smile face) - Alan
"To Magda" from the Season 1 Chapter 9 Part 10 Main Story Quest, Triveru Mercury:

Magda, I just heard from Xavier that the Grand Duke of Bavlenka is performing a spiritual ritual in the Bavlenka mansion! Is this real?! I know that it makes no sense to ask this question now, but! This evil magic ritual has been lost for a long time. Who else has the ability to manipulate such a magic ritual except Lou? Xavier said that perhaps there's a traitor in the Spiral Spire, or perhaps the grand duke recruited some master from other places. Anyway, I hope that the second assumption is real, because I don't want any of us to stand against each other - Alan who feel a little bit disturbed
"Letter from Alan" from the Season 1 Chapter 10 Part 13 Main Story quest, A fresh Start:

Magda, I... I didn't expect that we can win, be we won! And most importantly, everyone is still alive! I'm so happy! The guardsmen said that we should relax, but now we still have one thing left to solve, it is not time to celebrate. Actually... the Grand Duke is not killed by us. The Viscount took the initiative to take the warp for murdering the Grand Duke and he will accept the trial of the Senate tomorrow. Although I know that he will be fine, but... I am not dumb, I know that some things have been fixed. Maybe, maybe I am just waiting for an explanation.
"Letter from Alan" from the Season 1 Chapter 10 Part 13 Main Story quest, A fresh Start:

Magda, I've talked to the Viscount. He is very honest. To tell the truth, if there is always a substitute after Bavlenka, maybe the Viscount is a good choice. At least he did protect many people in many dangerous situations. And the dance ball today is the first ball that everyone can attend no matter what their identify is. In the celebration today, everyone wears a smile on their faces and everyone has a good expectation for the future. This is what I have always wanted to guard.
### Events

"To Miss Magda" from reaching Favor Lv. 10:

Miss Ellenstein! My...My name is Alan. Ah...I'm not suppose to introduce myself! Err...I mean...if we can...attend the ball...together...Hmm, would you agree? Anyway, I'll cherish the opportunity to accompany you!
"Letter from Alan" from the Snow White of Finsel recharge event after receiving the handheld accessory Dwarf Alan:

Miss Ellenstein, thank you so much for making this for me! It's the first time someone would... You are such a kind person. You always have a tendency to worry too much about others at the expense of yourself... But you don't need to worry about a thing. I... I promise I will always be by your side... and support you!
"I Don't Know What to [missing text]" from the First Anniversary event quest, Sound of Rain:

Lady Ellenstein, are you home? I... don't know what to say. I'm good at fighting or catching the thieves. But when I'm with you, I start to panic and don't know what to say thought I have a lots of things to share with you. As that little girl said, I am indeed a fool. I need others' help even in a date! Aren't I pathetic? In short, I will work hard. I have to learn how to act around you without anyone's help. And even though I can't write down those special words, let alone be close to you... But man always grow! While you said I'm okay as I am, I want to be a real hero in your heart, not just Alan, a silly boy who even can't talk to you in person.
"Message from Winter" from the Goddess of Flowers Event after receiving Winter Messenger Alan:

Emm... Err... Lady Magda... How are you going lately? After hearing that I took your first dance as Flower of Goddess, the guardsmen all encourage me to write a letter to you. But as you can see, it is much easier for me to beat the badass with weapons rather than express my feelings with words. Ah... I don't mean that I have nothing to say... It's just I don't know where to start. Starting from the flower, lamplight of that day? The carnival? Or your attractive blue eyes I have stared for a long time in such a close distance... In a word, you've took my heart, no, I mean, you've charmed all the guardsmen. If necessary, me... Oh, no, the City Guard, will always be your loyal support. Emm... The guardsmen are reading my letter to you and they are forcing me to delete the [City Guard] I mentioned earlier...
"Be careful" from the first Snow Festival Event quest, First Snow:

Lady Ellenstein, this is Alan. Will you participate in the Snow Festival? Or the Beauty Contest at least? Someone like you would definitely win... I'm conflicted that I wrote this letter instead of telling you my feelings in person. I'd love to be your knight. I'll protect you for sure! If someone tries to cheat, I'll show them justice!
"Sacrifice Alan" from the Snow Festival Event after receiving Sacrifice Alan:

As the City Guard Captain, I didn’t fulfil my duty. You ended up saving me... If you’re ever in danger, I’d come to your rescue. I don‘t mean I want to see you in danger! I mean... Thank you, Lady Ellenstein. You’re the first person who saved me. —Alan who has no idea what he’s talking about
"Tipsy Alan" from the Elixir of Immortality Event after receiving Tipsy Alan:

Today's wine is great! What do you think? Both the music and the wine are wonderful! The only regret is that I didn't stay with you a little longer... Oh no! I'm not complaining! But If you'd like, can I invite you again to... Whether you want to Patrol or inquire! I'm available anytime! Yours, Alan
"Message by Alan" from the The End of the Universe Event after receiving Star Prince Alan:

Miss Magda, although we will be traveling together for a long time, there are still some words that I need to organize myself through words. Thank you for changing my destiny, and more importantly, thank you for changing my perceptions. I used to think that perfection was an unattainable and untouchable realm, that only saints could use the power of the Holy Star Stone. Now I know that perfection is all around ourselves, it comes from within...... and you have shared this perfection with me.
"To Miss Magda" from the Rumored Creature Rerun after receiving Fox Dream Alan:

Miss Magda, I thought I would never see you again! Although the encounter was so brief, I am still grateful for this moment of fate. I still remember that day when you talked about your hometown, the light in your eyes was no less bright than the stars in the sky... If there is a chance, I would also like to see the amber city you mentioned.
I don't know if you will remember me at that time...
────Alan
## Notes

* He apparently has a pet "pig".
	+ It is revealed in chapter 10 the "Jiu" he mentions is actually a Sulla girl that he's been raising in the Guards' dorms and not a pig as previously mentioned.
		- Jiu appears in the other Helix games as well.
		- In Helix Horizon, it's revealed that the Guardsmen do have a pig named Lulu.
* Gonzalo Jorcastle has a crush on him, although he seems to be unaware of this fact.
	+ However, he does get angry and resents Alan for not saving Tilla Jorcastle when she was under the control of black powder in Helix Horizon. Grand Duke Bavlenka gave Alan two choices: save Tilla, or save "everyone else"; to which Alan chose the latter.
* Florna also has a crush on him, it's uncertain if Alan is unaware of it or if he chose to ignore it.
* He has been friends with Juven Sakan for a while now, and apparently has never drawn his sword out of battle.
* He has a crush on Magda, and gets noticeably flustered when talking to her.
* In Chapter 7, the City Guards are dismissed and Alan has been requested to join either family's army. He declined, which thus causes Grand Duke Bavlenka to order Eliza Ellenstein to use Magda to get him to join the Bavlenka's army. When that fails, he orders the Merc Corps to either kill or bribe Alan into joining.
* He has a bad habit of strolling around fountains when anxious.
	+ This can be seen in all Helix games.
	+ He does so in Chapter 9, and gets caught by Magda, much to his embarrassment.
* In Chapter 10, Alan mentions Colonel Loire, an important mentor-figure of his in the other Helix games.
	+ Alan looks up to Loire, who gave up his position as a noble to found the Guardsmen, wanting to protect all citizens of Finsel. Alan says that when he first joined the guardsmen, Loire said, "Finsel encompasses every race on the continent, and Orens are part of Finsel..."
* There is an official set based on Alan, Guardsmen Uniform. It has an unofficial recolor.
* In Season 2, Gaelan claims that Alan is a descendant of Lionheart's High Knight, one of the most prestigious ranks in the Kingdom, in an attempt to sow discord between the civilians and nobles. He discredits Alan's successes because of his supposed lineage. It works, and people begin to doubt him.
	+ It can be noted that Alan gets visibly frustrated and upset at the claim, and vehemently denies the claim.
	+ However, Barbalius confirmed that the High Knight, which was thought to be a legend, had left Lionheart. He proposes the theory that the High Knight may have chosen to settle in Finsel, and thus Gaelan's claims cannot be outright denied. Additionally, it can be confirmed if Alan and the High Knight are indeed related by researching more about the topic.
* There is an official Flappy Alan game.
