 — Alger Wilson
on *Lord of Mysteries*, Chapter 94

**Alger Wilson** is a Beyonder of the Tyrant Pathway. The Captain of the Blue Avenger that once belonged to the Church of the Lord of Storms. He is one of the first members of the Tarot Club, codenamed **The Hanged Man**. He is the current Pontiff to the Church of the Sea God.

## Appearance

He was in his 30s, had dark blue hair, and was of mixed race. He often wore a robe with storm and wave patterns. He weighs 72 kg.

His skin is bronze in color, but it differs from that of the natives. He’s like the result of a pure Loenese being battered by the elements for years, but the dark blue hair is more peculiar, something that doesn’t belong to Loen. It’s closer to the colonists of Desi Bay who live in Berserk Sea region.

Mixed blood…

— *Lord of Mysteries*, Chapter 524

After **Alger** becomes the pontiff of the Church of the Sea God, he wears a silver-black mask and use a fake name to prevent humiliation to the Church of Storms. He also wears a papal tiara.

## Personality

The Hanged Man places great importance on the way Gehrman Sparrow views him. It’s because he’s a Blessed of Mr. Fool? Also, his attitude is rather identical to the political jokes of Backlund and Trier. When facing a problem or having committed a mistake, the first reaction is to suppress the matter and find other methods to resolve it. They cannot let their superior or consignor know about it…
This means that The Hanged Man was once or is currently a member of a powerful faction with a strict hierarchy. It influenced him and made him grasp similar traits…

— Cattleya thoughts about Alger
*Lord of Mysteries*, Chapter 912

He is calm, experienced, and ambitious. Being a mixed-blood, it was very hard for him to reach high positions in the Church of the Lord of Storms, but with a lot of effort and with the help of the Tarot Club, he managed to reach sequence 5. After he realized Mr. Fool's power, he aimed to become an angel. His personality didn't fit the Tyrant Pathway Beyonders, and therefore he often pretended to be more irritable and impulsive than he actually was.

Despite his ambitious and calculating side, he is actually kinder than he thought of himself. He has given much advice to Tarot Club members, though under the cover of "doing it for his own good".

## Background

He was born in the same village as Qilangos. As a mixed-blood with dark blue hair, he grew up with a lot of discrimination. He was selected to enter the headquarter of Church of the Lord of Storms to be a member of the children’s choir, but without any talent in singing, he was soon dismissed. He returned to the chapel on the island where he was born to be a servant. And the priest there was an extremely violent superior to his subordinates.

After he got the opportunity to become a Beyonder, **Alger** was sent to the Sonia Sea to act as an intelligence officer of the Church of Storms as a pirate. He had committed acts detrimental to the Church whilst under Qilangos’s coercion many times.

Later, **Alger** found the ghost ship, Blue Avenger, an ancient ship that was a relic from the Tudor Empire. During that time, he was pulled into the Gray Fog because of the mysterious glass bottle he obtained from the ship. After that he secretly killed the captain. Later he chose to become the captain of the Blue Avenger instead of joining the Mandated Punishers.

After the war, he became the Cardinal responsible for Rorsted Archipelago diocese. He had to sacrifice his hard-earned position in the church after he prayed to The Fool to fend off malfunctioned grade 1 sealed artifacts. He joined the Church of the Sea God by the words of The Fool.

Later on, he went on a journey to fulfill his promise to Queen of Calamity Cohinem by bringing her remains in Book of Calamity to the Western Continent. He also received back his former Ghost Ship, Blue Avenger, from the Church of the Lord of Storms.

## Trivia

* He was a very bad singer. Once he acted as an  and sang in the middle of the night. Come morning, his crew was discussing the sounds that they thought it was a dying siren or some sea monster singing to them. Even Gehrman Sparrow can't stand his singing.
* According to the author's note at the end of Volume 7, Cuttlefish considered to kill Alger in order to give him a meaning of sacrifice for **The Hanged Man**. However, because of his storyline to the Western Continent this idea was given up.
* In the side story; In Modern Day, Tarot Club has transformed into a group chat organized by Zhou Mingrui, brought together by playing horror and suspenseful games, later shifting towards discussions on mysticism. **Alger's** online alias is "**The Hanged Man**," with a wealth of experience, suspecting that "The Star" might be a cyber police. While Zhou Mingrui was searching for a lullaby, he stumbled upon "Advance! Advance!" performed by **Alger Wilson**, a former sailor. Zhou Mingrui chose to play this song, but immediately experienced a blackout on the spot, accompanied by symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and nausea.
