Alaster

A loyal knight of the Alliance. He swore to exterminate all demons and witches to return the world's peace. Alaster is a melee fighter with good offensive prowess and extreme survivability.

## ***Personality***

Alaster is a prodigy whose fighting skills matches Commander levels.

He was once a kind & cheerful boy who could see the beauty in others and cared about everyone, even those who were shunned.

But after an incident with a Witch that had occurred when he was only 10 years old, he became a serious young man who couldn't fully trust or grow closer to others.

And over the years, he has harbored a hatred for Witches. And he is very cautious and wary of them (except for Edna).

## ***Background***

When Alaster was 10 years old, he and his parents lived in a peaceful, remote village. He was very well-known to everyone in his village because of his kind and cheerful personality.

One day, he met a girl who had the power to control ice magic. She was abandoned by her mother, after she discovered that her daughter was a witch. The whole village shunned the girl; except for Alaster, who wanted to befriend her.

He invited her into his home. And with time, she became a part of his family. But it didn't their happiness didn't last for long.

Even though his parents had promised the villagers to raise the girl properly and begged them not to report the child's existence to the Capital, the villagers couldn't bear to live in fear of having a Witch among them and someone reported her.

Soon afterwards, Royal Knights arrived and raided his home, looking for her.

Alaster tried to protect her but- in the end, she turned into a demon and almost killed everyone. After losing his father (as well as his friends and the villagers), he felt guilty for saving her. For saving a witch, instead of his village.

That day, he made a vow that if he could save hundreds of lives by killing a witch, he would never hesitate to do it. And to slay every demon there was, so that there will be no more witches born into the world.

He then trained very hard to join the Royal Knights, to fulfill his vow.

The incident had changed him forever.

The end grew near, and as Edna transformed as a demon from the grief of losing her brother and her power grew enormously large as she absorbed the darkness which was being used to summoned a powerful demon, Alaster never gave up in trying to save her. Edna's anguished cries screamed louder and she tearfully asked Alaster to kill her. Alaster had made a decision, he raised his sword and stabbed Edna, while kissing her on the lips and asked Edna to forgive him for being selfish. Edna's demonic form stopped and turned back to normal, being quite flustered on what Alaster had done she then looks at the place Alaster had stabbed her with and she realized Alaster had missed and it only pierced her clothes. Edna bickes that she has lost her reason to live but Alaster hugs her and reassures her that she shoudn't say that and if she still says that then Alaster wants him to be her reason to live, confessing his love to her as they embrace one another.
After the events, Alaster was suspended from his position as a guard, Alaster didn't regret it but he sure was going to miss the pay. Alaster and Edna started living together and his mother (Sophia) cried happily with tiers, Edna's cooking took a lot of effort but it became adequate enough. Alaster and Edna plan to open up a restaurant together in the future. Alaster finally smiles at the end.
He currently runs a restaurant with his now wife Edna and his mother. He has a daughter, Aina.

### Way of the Knight

[Learned at Lv15]

The way of the Knight is to protect ones that you treasure. With this strong feeling alone, Alaster will stand stronger when he's on the verge of death.

## ***Strategy***

* Alaster's skill 1 Counter Guard will perform a defensive stance for around 1 second, during which he will blocks the first attack he receive, and then will gain invincible frame for the rest of the skill animation.
	+ The series of explosions will knock enemies slightly.
	+ This skill also blocks debuff effect, If there's any.
		- Does not apply if the debuff effect source is not from an attack.
* Alaster's skill 2 Savage Rend will slightly pull enemies around to him, if the enemy can be pulled.
* Alaster's skill 3 Shield Rush will pull enemies to the front of his shield, and then they will be knocked back as he charges to the front, then he will bash his shield to knock away his enemies.
	+ If one presses the skill button, or the skill button is released mid-charge, he will instantly bash his shield.
	+ This skill can destroy landmines planted by the Bogu Landmine mobs as he charged through it.
	+ Sometimes during charging Alaster can still receive damage for unknown reason.
* Alaster's skill 4 Earth Break will create cracks in the ground that travels slowly until it reaches its limits.
	+ If one use this to attack far away enemies, it will sometimes miss the enemies so using it this way is not advised.
* His perk Revenge boosts his damage by a very considerable amount by the means of blocking an attack. Try to trigger his perk Revenge (either by using s1, s3 or getting hit n times to trigger his mastery Guardian's Will) before using high damaging skills to strengthen it.
* Even though Guardian's Will limits his ongoing debuff taken count by n amount, it is still better to try to avoid getting hit by attacks that cause debuff directly, or indirectly (burning fire in the ground, poison pools etc.).
* His mastery Way of the Knight is another good way to buff his attacks and it also buff his block rate, but it requires Alaster to stay below a certain % of HP to work which might be risky if you don't have enough defense or can't dodge/block enemy attacks well.
