## Canon

SPOILERS FOR THE XENOBLADE CHRONICLES SERIES.

-REWRITING IN PROGRESS-

Alvis is first seen properly at Colony 6, when the party is fighting Metal Face for the second time. As any hope of victory, even with the appearance of both Dunban and Dickson, is lost, a Telethia appears and destroys most of the supporting Mechon with ease. In turn, this distracted Metal Face long enough for Shulk to damage him with the Monado. Realising his injuries, Metal Face flees with the remaining Mechon. Meanwhile, the Telethia retreats to a distant cliff edge, where Alvis is seated - seemingly able to communicate with it.

Alvis' first meeting with Shulk is in Makna Forest. As the blonde was collecting some pure water Ether crystals to heal Melia, Alvis appears behind him and introduces himself. Apon first meeting, Alvis reveals that he knows Shulk's name, aswell as his backstory; calling him "famous among all Homs". Shulk begins to recognise him from a dream, but is interrupted by Alvis announcing the arrival of a group of Telethia. The Telethia attack Shulk, who attemps to fight back with assitance from his own visions. The Telethia, however, could read Shilks' mind, rendering his visions worthless, which Alvis states for Shulk. This prompts Shulk to ask how Alvis knows about his visions, which Alvis doesn't answer. He then demonstrates he can use the Monado with great proficiency - something that was otherwise impossible, and unlock the 'Purge' Monado Art.

After the fight, Shulk asks him how he learned to use the Monado, but he merely looks amused and tells Shulk that the defeated Telethia were not the "Prime Telethia", but simply its spawn. He then goes on to explain more about the Monado, saying it is capable of disturbing the very fabric of existence.

A concerned Reyn interrupts their conversation from afar, and Shulk turns to greet him. However, before Shulk can introduce Alvis to Reyn, he looks back to find that the silver-haired man has disappeared. Reyn dismisses Shulk's claims that he'd been there, and the two head back to the main group with the water crystals, unaware that they are being watched by Alvis from the other side of the river.

When the party arrives in Alcamoth, Alvis is revealed to be "The Divine Seer" of Sorean Antiqua, the High Entia Emperor — an occupation that seems to have a lot of freedom involved, as he is often away from the capital. He is sent to interrogate them as to why they are there, and after they have explained he tells them that the reason they had been detained was because of the fact that Shulk carried the Monado. However, he almost immediately orders their release, and then leaves to report back to the High Entian Emperor.

When talking to the Emperor about the Monado, he informs him that 'his sight is hindered.' He later overhears Yumea thinking ill of Melia; however, he does not intervene or defend the princess.

He explains that, since all of the actions in the universe are ruled by ether, and that ether is calculable in its changes, then all of the actions in the universe can be predicted.

Alvis then escorts the party into the High Entia Tomb, and acts as an adviser during their time there. When the party eventually catches up with Melia, he prevents the Solidum Telethia's explosion from harming them.

It is later revealed that one month earlier, Alvis had a vision of the events to come on Prison Island and the subsequent death of the Emperor. He shows this to the Emperor, who chooses to accept his fate.

## Pre-Paradise

Before his arrival at the Paradise Hotel, Alvis has been... traveling. Traveling between universes, and observing the events that unfold. On occasion, he assists - guiding certain individuals towards a future. For a period of time, this led to Alvis travelling with an incarnation of The Doctor past his 12th Incarnation. It is unknown for how long the two traveled, however The Doctor trusted Alvis enough to entrust him with a TARDIS Key.

Alvis has been on the island for quite some time, likely since the beginning, watching the developments unfold with little to no interaction. However, this fact has begun to change as he's become a much more active presence after being scouted by G-Man and joining the Shareholders.

## Plot Involvement

Alvis hasn't acted as of this moment, however due to his involvement within the Shareholders, this will not be the case for much longer.

## Character Relationships

* *The Doctor -* Companion to an incarnation after the 12th. Due to their timelines being out of Sync, no variation of The Doctor currently in the Hotel knows of Alvis, despite his knowledge of them. Regardless, the incarnation he traveled with trusted Alvis enough to entrust him with a TARDIS Key.
