Alexander Clement of Donnington

## ***Early Life***

Alexander was born in 1593 A.T.F in the town of Bergia in Eastern Reichland. Bergia was ruled by House Clement, the ruling house of The Kingdom of Donnington. Alexander was raised within the city of Bergia, receiving the vast majority of his education personally from his father King David Clement "The Unifier '' and his mother of Queen Colleen Clement. Alexander was a single child and was destined to rule the Kingdom of Donnington, thus his Father, King David, began to pave the way for his son's future rule by leaving him a powerful kingdom to inherit. During his early childhood Alexander enjoyed a comfortable life, when his father wasn't schooling him on politics and kingdom affairs. Alexander would spend his free time fishing, hunting with his father, and playing chess with the various nannies that watched over him in the absence of his mother. Alexander would also play with the other noble families' children, though many of the other children thought of Alexander as being "bossy". Alexander's father felt that it was time his son accompanied him, and at the age of 12 Alexander began to follow his father on his campaigns.

## **The First and Second Battle of Goldpeaks**

King David's conquest would begin with a steady buildup of the military and assorted investments into the long and short term economy of the realm. following the investments made into the Kingdoms Economy, King David would dispatch diplomats to their Southern and Eastern Neighbors. With successful negotiations, the Kingdom of Donnington was able to form an alliance with both New Norkia and The Kingdom of Pola. King David would then go on to form the "Royal Army of Bergia'' and would march into the region of Goldpeaks with plans to annex the region and exploit its gold mines. The Tribes who inhabited the region put up resistance and a battle would ensue, known as the First Battle of Gold Peaks; this battle would result in minimal casualties on either side as a peace treaty was quickly drawn up following the death of their Tribal Queen. Although Alexander did not fight during this battle, he was present and watched as his father led the Royal Army of Bergia. Per-his fathers instructions, Alexander took notes on the progress of the battle, making sure to take notice of key developments within the battle and to review them later in his studies. Goldpeaks would be annexed officially into the Kingdom of Donnington, but some within the continent did not look kindly upon this expansion; namely the Norkish and Polanii peoples. The Norks and The Polanii had formed a loose Alliance with Donnington and felt that the Donnington expansion was a threat to their power.

A large army lead by King Tyler Royston VI of Pola and High King Odin Afruthul of New Norkia, outnumbering the Royal Army of Bergia by nearly ten to one would set out to secure the recently captured Goldpeaks; the bulk of the forces were primarily made up of Polanii soldiers. This started The Second Battle of Goldpeaks, King David Clement would fight off assault after assault thrown at the walls of their mountain fortifications, the King himself fought alongside his footmen in most of the engagements with sword and pistol in hand.

During the final assaults upon Goldpeaks, the Royal Bergian Army had taken so many casualties that David Clement ordered anyone capable of holding a sword, including his son who was only fourteen years old, to the frontlines. Although Alexander was only fourteen he fought viciously next to his men at some points almost being overwhelmed. This bravery and defiance to hold the mountain fortress at all cost earned Alexander his nickname-name "The Defiant". During the 3rd month of the siege the defenders within the outer walls were overrun. Alexander and his soldiers would hold out on top of their fortifications for hours before finally succumbing to besiegers onslaught and being forced to retreat back inside the inner palace walls. Alexander was wounded in the fighting and had to be forcibly carried back on a stretcher as he refused to leave the front, uttering a famous quote as he was being carried off the field "Let them come again, we shall never flag nor fail". During this panicked retreat to the inner palace walls, Captain Evans Woodsley was able to organize a tactical retreat holding off the Norkish and Polanii attackers for as long as possible. Evan's actions prevented a mass slaughter and kept the retreat organized allowing for a second defense to be initiated. To Donningtons luck, the fighting at Goldpeaks ceased as the Polanii and Norks would break out in open conflict over who would claim the keep. This minor dispute eventually turned into a full scale skirmish outside of the besieged fortress. Both of the besieging armies eventually broke the siege and retreated back to their homelands to recover their losses from the siege and infighting.

## ***A Child's Rise to Power***

Shortly after the Second Battle of Gold Peaks Alexander and his Father would begin the journey back to Bergia. David's last conquest before returning home was the Annexation of Wraithland, a province known for being infested with Cryptids. It would be here that David Clement would promote Evan Woodsley, a Captain who had participated in both The First and Second Battles of Goldpeaks to the rank of General. This was the final annexation of David Clements Conquest. Upon arriving at the Royal Palace they were greeted by Katrin Bauer the Royal Advisor and a well known Cultist. She was angered that during the conflict David Clement had begun taxing her Cult for the war effort, something he promised not to do in exchange for her service and usage of Narian Magic in battle. David dismissed her complaints and continued to attend to the management of the realm for the next few weeks. However on May 16th of 1607 A.T.F The Royal Palace of Bergia collapsed, later it was discovered someone had planted a large cache of gun power and ignited it, destroying the support pillars of the Royal Palace causing it to collapse from underneath. Both of Alexander's parents were killed, thus causing the fourteen year old boy to become the sole heir to the throne. Conveniently Katrin had taken the boy out for a walk during the tragedy raising some suspicion. It was said that Alexander was devastated but was quick to take control of the situation; for a boy his age the short time he spent campaigning with his father had taught him some valuable lessons that would help him navigate the situation. Even if Alexander wanted to mourn there was little time, as during these last few months the Yuraks, a nomadic people from Western Reichland had begun an unstoppable conquest. The Yuraks were united under a brutal leader known as Tarkhan Khan, who steamrolled the minor nations of the West and sacked the Capital City of Reichlandia uniting the entire western half of Reichland under Yurak Rule. The Nations of The East were the only obstacles standing in the way of total Yurak rule over Reichland. At first the Nations of The East had delayed reactions to this threat from the west. However panic began to set in when The Kingdom of Mordhau, a kingdom centered in Eastern Reichland, was sacked and burned in a matter of weeks by a horde of Yurak Warriors numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

The panicked lords and kings of the east quickly ceased the conflicts they were engaged in, and began making arrangements for a location to be set for the lords to meet and discuss the threat from the west. Katrin Quickly volunteered her realm situated in Axony as a meeting place. Citing it was remote due to its natural barriers of mountain ranges and that the region was secluded and unimportant, thus it wouldn't be a target the Horde would pay attention to. Although Katrin was in service to House Clement she did rule a relatively small hermit state of her own in the remote region of Axony, the province was her gathering place where many followers of her cult resided. The Lords of The East agreed to meet on June the 5th 1607 A.T.F in attendance to the meeting was Katrin Bauer of Axony, High King Odin Afruthul of New Norkia, King Alexander Clement of Donnington, General Evan Woodsley of Donnington, Chief Aethelwulf Byronson of New Norkia, Chief Konrad Karlson of New Norkia, Samuel Karlson of New Norkia, King Tyler Royston IV of Pola, Barnes 'Crazy' Barclay of The Spiced Empire, and Mercenary Captain Halfdan. During the meeting Alexander was quiet while his counterparts tore into each other, for the majority of the meeting it was centered around Tyler Royston and High King Odin arguing about previous conflict in Goldpeaks. The Meeting quickly de-evolved into a near pitched battle between the Polanii and Norks before neutral soldiers from Captain Halfdans Company and Barnes Barclays Pirate Army had to separate the two forces. The meeting was to be reconvened in a week from then, however Donnington Scouts, dispatched by Evans Woodsley before the meeting began, reported that the Yuraks had received word of where the meeting was and assembled a force of over half a million warriors to advance on Axony. In a rather unusual move the Mercenary Captain Halfdan volunteered to sacrifice himself and march his force of 40,000 men across the Glasgov River, and to the Western Mountain Pass known as The Glasgov Pass, to hold off the Yuraks for as long as possible until the Eastern Lords could assemble their armies. During this time of mass mobilization it was Donnington that supplied roughly 3/4th of the Eastern Lords manpower due to the Polanii abandoning the meeting and declaring neutrality.

Alexander capitalized on this and declared himself the leader of this Coalition. To many the thought of a 14 year old boy leading armies of hundreds of thousands soldiers was insane. But none dared to oppose Alexander as it was accepted that without his armies the east would fall. Alexander would oversee the largest mobilization of soldiers in Reichlands history, in a matter of nine days nearly 400,000+ allied soldiers had been mustered to Axony. Thanks to Barnes Barclays massive fleet the mobilization efforts were able to be done in a matter of days, with tens of thousands of soldiers being ferried from all across the Eastern Realms. On June the 15th 1607 A.T.F the Battle of Axony would begin. Before the Battle the lords of the East gathered formally signing The Eastern Treaties, a series of documents that agreed to form a coalition to stop The Yuraks naming the coalition "The Eastern Sovereign Alliance".

## ***The Battle of Axony and The Rise of Alexander***

**The First Engagement**

The first engagement began on June the 15th 1607 A.T.F, between the Yurak and Donnington forces at the Glasgov River. The conflict began when two foraging parties encountered each other and engaged each other, firing arrows and muskets at the opposing side. Eventually **Alexander Clement** and Evan Woodsley were informed of the engagement and moved 25,000-35,000 men to the river and attempted to cross the river. Scouts from the Yuraks reported a huge movement of troops and warned Tarkhan of the incoming attack. Tarkhan ordered his Mercenary Captain Walt Vanheesem to take 10,000 heavy cavalrymen, primarily made up of mercenaries hired from Acrabia, and push the advancing infantry back. Walt employed his strategies he learned from fighting the Bandit Hordes who often outnumbered him years ago. Using an elite vanguard of 3,000 Dismounted Acrabian Mercenaries who volunteered to be the frontline distraction, Walt moved a much larger contingent of the Acrabian Horsemen to the flanks and lured the Donnington's lines of Pike and Shot into the open. Once the Donnington's infantry was lured far enough out in the open flatlands Walt ordered his heavy horsemen to slam into the rear and flanks of the Pike and Shot formations. Within minutes all hell broke loose, and the Donnington lines broke in full retreat suffering heavy casualties. The Donnington Army suffered even more extensive casualties during the retreat, as the disorderly and chaotic retreat across the river resulted in many of the Donnington Soldiers drowning. **Alexander** himself almost nearly drowned, had it not been a foot soldier who carried him to the other side.

**The First Two Years of The Battle**

The first early years during the battle were the worst for the Alliance as the Yuraks pushed deeper and deeper into the Glasgov Valley. Each defeat the Alliance suffered was crippling, and the few victories the Alliance obtained in the minor skirmishes were pyrrhic victories at best. The loss of life became so discouraging even **Alexander Clement** commented in his personal journal "For every handful of the barbarians we kill, they take a whole regiment of us with them". In the winter months of 1609 A.T.F the region experienced an unusually cold winter, entire portions of the mountain passes that allowed entry to the region were blocked by ice and snow deposits. Both of the armies were massive in size and thus required extensive supply networks to maintain themselves. Quickly armies began to starve, and resorted to stealing from the local villages dotted around the province. Eventually the forced levy and stealing of food from the locals dried up due to limited supply, both armies resorted to butchering and eating their horses and pack animals. In the most extreme cases it was said that the Yuraks encouraged their men to eat their fallen comrades. By early spring of 1610 A.T.F the harsh winter had obliterated the Yuraks and Alliances horse supply. Now lacking any horsemen the Alliance had a level playing field, while still being outnumbered the Alliance also held the Technological advantage. In turn the harsh winter also depleted the Alliance's supply of horses, making it difficult for them to transport any of the new supplies flowing into the region to other army groups in the valley.

**Odin Afruthul's Push**

In the summer of 1610 A.T.F Odin had requested that He, Konrad Karlson, Samuel Karlson, and Katrin Bauer move nearly 100,000+ troops to advance and recapture the center part of the valley to secure the vital farms needed to supply the army for the next winter. **Alexander Clement** accepted this request and gave command of a force made up mostly swordsmen, pikemen, and line infantry to Odin. Towards the concluding phase of the push Katrin Bauer was tasked with rallying the peasants of the central part of the valley to rise up against their Yuraks lords. This strategy was implemented with hopes that the Yuraks would extend themselves too thin, allowing for a three pronged attack from Odin, **Alexander**, and Katrin 's rebels to overwhelm the already thinned Yurak forces.

Katrin was unable to gather enough support to cause a rise in the peasants but she gained the attention of a disgruntled Warlord named Ivan Bogun Hmelnitiski-Avskura. Ivan Bogun was furious when he learned that his brother Taichu-Karha Avskura was going to inherit the throne instead of him. Katrin offered Ivan a chance at power stating if the Alliance won this battle their remaining forces would move to Reichlandia and seize the capitol. Afterward the Alliance would place Ivan as the ruler of the Yurak Horde as a part of the peace agreements that would be drawn up. Ivan agreed and assimilated what soldiers would follow to the Alliances side for several months, he claimed that the battle was a lost cause and viewed this as his only opportunity to seize the throne. Although Ivan agreed to change his allegiance, he would later abandon the Eastern Sovereign Alliance and return home, refusing to further fight against his own people.

**The Madman's Push**

Tarkhan ordered his lower-khans not present to levy all who were fit for battle and march them to the Glasgov Valley for a retaliatory push targeting the center of the Donnington army lead by Evan Woodsley and **Alexander Clement**. Tarkhan's youngest son Taichu followed the orders of his father moved an army consisting of levies primarily from Reichlandia through the Glasgov Mountains. The reinforcements were estimated to have been 100,000 levies with thousand more unaccounted for. As soon as the army reached the main camp near the far western edge of the mountains Tarkhan began the "Madman's Push". He advanced the Yurak army forward during the summer of 1611 A.T.F hoping to catch the Alliances army off guard with overwhelming force. This push would end in a complete disaster due to his army being made up of ill trained conscripts and de-moralized veterans was. Within the initial march to meet Alexander's lines Tarkhan's infantry columns were hammered by constant Donnington artillery fire. The once battle hardened Yurak army made up of their prestigious cavalry units, Acrabian Mercenaries, and professional Yurak Warriors, was now nothing more but an army of mercenaries, levies mostly made up of ethnic Humanians, and a small contingent of Veteran Yurak Warriors. This stark drop in quality and quantity almost caused near a capitulation of the Yuraks lines before they met the Donnington lines due to the constant artillery barrage. Furthermore Taichu, who accompanied Tarkhan during this stage, was not an experienced commander like his brother Ivan, and made a critical mistake that would later crippled the advance. Taichu was tasked with organizing the army before they advanced, he mistakenly neglected adding bannermen to the ranks who would display orders universally to the multi ethnic army. This lack of communication and order saw the Yuraks clash with the Donnington line quickly turn into a mosh-pit.

Consequently Tarkhan was unable to give orders and could only watch as Evan Woodsley slowly moved contingents of Donnington soldiers around the flanks of the Yuraks. As the fighting progressed throughout the day the Donnington lines slowly surrounded and slaughtered the Yuraks forcers. Taichu and Tarkhan both retreated, falling back to their camps and slowly their army began to take hold of what was happening and proceeded to rout. Tarkhan became so desperate for a final decisive blow against the Alliance that he begged his son Ivan Khan to return to his side. Ivan feeling pity for his father and with most of his men disgruntled on his previous decision agreed and rejoined his father, only to leave the battle a week later removing his force from battle and returning to Fredfurt to stabilize his fiefdoms. Throughout the battle Tarkhan had now lost 300,000+ troops and his offensive had been defeated by Evan Woodsley and **Alexander Clement**. This would be the final Yurak led offensive during The Battle of Axony.

## **The Final Stage of The Battle**

The final stages of the battle occurred in the late summer of 1611 A.T.F when Konrad Karlson, Samuel Karlson, Katrin , **Alexander Clement**, and Odin all advanced with nearly 120,000 men against 150,000 men led by Tarkhan. The engagement was bloody lasting days with little strategy, few formations, minimal order, and chaos rampant throughout the ranks of both sides. Finally on August the 2nd 1611 A.T.F Tarkhan's forces were defeated and Tarkhan was killed in battle supposedly being slain by an unknown member of the famous guard unit of **Alexander Clement** named "The Golden Guard". After Tarkhan's death the majority of his forces surrendered, further adding to the blow, Tolui Avskuro, who was tasked with defending the Yurak supply lines throughout the Glasgov Mountains, was betrayed by his own men and relinquished to the Alliance in exchange for full-pardons.

## **The End of The Battle of Axony**

After The Battle of Axony, Konrad Karlson had received numerous complaints from the upper echelon of The Eastern Sovereign Alliance that his younger brothers actions were unacceptable and unforgivable. The leadership was informed that Samuel was executing Yurak and Norkish survivors he perceived as weak and was executing them in the most brutal ways possible. He would often disembowel the survivors alive, or strangle them slowly. His behavior became a great concern to many of his allies, even his brother Konrad, who was known for his warrior mentality, was disturbed by his brother's behavior.

Although none of the other Kings and Lords demanded that Konrad remove his brother from his position, he opted to do so himself. Konrad had felt that Samuels mental state, and character had degraded and that he was no longer fit to serve. Samuel responded with anger and felt his brother had betrayed him, Samuel attempted to duel his brother for the title of Jarl. Konrad refused to accept the duel, and Samuel in a fit of rage lunged at Konrad with his sword and attempted to stab his brother. Konrad easily dodged the sword attack and quickly disarmed and dispatched his brother incapacitating him.

On August the 17th 1611 A.T.F Samuel was imprisoned in an Alliance holding cell located in New Norkia. **Alexander Clement** had requested that instead of Norkish guards, the cell be guarded by Donnington soldiers to avoid any loyalty complications that may ensue. Konrad and Odin agreed, Samuel only being in the holding cell for a week used the cloth prison garments he was allotted and hung himself ending his own life on August the 24th 1611 A.T.F.

The last pockets of fighting and all around resistance in the region was rooted out by February the 23rd 1611 A.T.F with the last engagement being a holdout of Yuraks raiding Alliance baggage trains. The last captured Yurak lord was the mercenary Walt Vanheesem who was caught attempting to flee the region with groups of refugees. The total number of deaths in the battle was over 700,000+ dead on both sides. It is estimated a large portion of these deaths could be attributed to hypothermia, disease, starvation, and malnourishment. Out of the 506,000 man army fielded by the Yuraks only a small few escaped the battle with their lives. It is reported under 4,000 Yuraks made it out of the Glasgow Valley. The remainder of the Yurak leadership present at The Battle of Axony were able to escape the battle. **Alexander Clement** quickly dealt with the captured lords putting them both on trial, and sentencing Walt and Tolui to death. On February the 29th 1612 A.T.F Walt Vanheesem and Tolui Avskuro were executed by hanging. **Alexander** with haste began to draw up plans to move and besiege the capitol. However Katrin Bauer and Odin convinced him to abandon these plans, and instead recuperate the Alliance's losses.

Upon his return home Alexander would unexpectedly execute Katrin Bauer on March the 4th 1612 A.T.F and order his top general Evan Woodsley to march on what remained of Axony, by Early 1613 Evan conquered Axony. Soon in the coming years with age Alexander began to turn on more of his long-time allies, he closed the ports to Barnes Barclay and his Merchant Empire in hopes that Donnington Merchants would fare better without competition. Alexander would then March his forces into the Norkish Realms annexing them and placing a puppet king to take Odin's place, the Norks who resisted were exiled back to Norkia namely the most famous of these was Konrad Karlson and Odin Afruthul who faithfully fought by Alexander at Axony. Next to consolidate his power in The East; The young Lord would seize the fiefdoms that the now fallen Halfdan held in his name after he promised that Alexander would hand them down to Halfdans children. By 1624 A.T.F Alexander at the height of his power controlled the entirety of the East politically and militarily except for The Kingdom of Pola.

## **The Administrator**

Now in his mid twenties Alexander spent his days managing his realm. During this time he continued to further absorb the Vassal State of New Norkia into the Kingdom. Finally in 1626 A.T.F Alexander fully Annexed New Norkia into his realm only allowing a small few to retain positions of power within Donnington, one notable Norkish Noble being Uthred Newt. To further expand his retinue of competent lords he allowed Konrad Karlson to return and hold a position within his Kingdom. Alexander ruled as a benevolent lord as the populations he ruled over were vast and all spoke a multitude of languages and followed different religions. Alexander was seen as a fair ruler though he was not to be tested and was not afraid to show cruelty if it meant he was defiant in his rule. The Second Reichlandian War would spur Alexander to the forefront of Reichlands political crisis. The Yurak Horde once a broken realm was now once again united and began to make a second push for the total conquest of Reichland now under the leadership of Jochi Khan.

## **The Second Reichlandian Civil War and the Siege of Mordhau**

On January the 8th 1627 A.T.F The Second Reichlandian Civil War began, the realm was thrown into chaos once again. During this turbulent time there were other issues that captured the eyes of many powerful figures. Shortly before the war started a Chinikan Noble by the name of Tokuda Naro had arrived in Reichland in search of a book of terrible power. It was quickly discovered that the book in question was The Book of Dalguul, a powerful sorcerer's book that held some of the most powerful necromancy spells in all of Nara. The Chinikan offered the Spiced Empire, The Merchant Empire created by Barnes Barclay, trade rights in Chinika if they agreed to fund his hunt for The Book. News quickly spread of this arranged deal and soon Alexander along with Honzo Makiyama, a minor lord also wronged by the Yuraks, would join the hunt for this famed book of power.

To the dismay of Tokuda and Alexander both, Honzo managed to acquire the book before either of them could locate it. It was later discovered Honzo had fortified himself in the city of Mordhau which had been rebuilt and was under Polanii rule. Alexander marched his army to Mordhau to apprehend Honzo and secure the book. Out of rage and knowing the garrison would eventually hand him over Honzo used the book to cast a spell on Alexander, the spell was called "Soul Drain ''. As each day carried on Alexander's age would accelerate faster and faster, to a point where in a matter of years Alexander would die of old age if the spell was not lifted. At the time Alexander was unaware of this and continued to Besiege The City of Mordhau. Finally on February the 2nd 1627 A.T.F the Polanii Garrison under the command of The Polanii Garrison Commander Géza Fejérváry handed over Honzo and Alexander departed with the book leaving Honzo in the city unharmed. The Polanii King, Tyler Royston VI, was eventually informed by Honzo who at the time was under his protection that Alexander had forcibly secured the Book of Dalguul. Enraged and in panic by this news Tyler Royston contacted Alexander and organized a meeting between him and Tokuda who also found out by word of mouth that Alexander possessed the book. Tokuda pleaded that he be given the book so that he may deposit it in a safe place, Tyler Royston offered a ceasefire of conflict with The Kingdom of Donnington in return for the book being exchanged to a neutral party so its power isn't unleashed. Alexander eventually relented and handed the book to Tokuda who honored his word and gifted the book to The Duvans for safe keeping.

## **The Rise of The Republic of Reichland and The Donnington-Polanii Border**

By 1629 A.T.F Evan Woodsley was managing almost all military affairs independent of his liege. **Alexander** had become paranoid and his mental state was beginning to deteriorate. Evan found himself managing an unofficial war that had broken out between the Kingdom of Pola and The Kingdom of Donnington over border disputes. Although large scale battles were avoided, skirmishes between minor forces and games of cat and mouse between border armies were common. Evan deployed a large number of Donnington's Generals to the border without **Alexander's** direct orders, even with this immense power Evan remained entirely faithful to his lord.

For the next few years Tokuda Naro remained in Reichland, during this time he continued to receive support from The Spiced Empire and convinced the Merchant Empire to sponsor him in his formation of The Republic of Reichland. Soon within the next few years Tokuda had defeated the Yurak Horde, and had slain the Yuraks lackluster successor Jochi in battle. During these last few years Alexander's health deteriorated heavily from the spell cast upon him and his realm suffered due to his absence. He knew something was wrong but never learned what the cause was. During his final days a Dragon visited him time to time, The Dragon had lived with the Duvans for thousands of years as a knowledge keeper. He was impressed that Alexander was willing to give up the power of a "Thousand Emperors' ' just for a temporary peace with one kingdom. As time went on the Dragon learned that Alexander accepted only because he sought to achieve the most peaceful transition of power between the two Eastern States as possible stating "I've seen enough killing, I just wanted peace". Eventually towards the war's end in 1635 A.T.F a large force of fleeing Yuraks attempted to push East to escape Tokuda's advancing forces. The Dragon who had by this point became close friends with the dying Alexander, sacrificed himself to protect Alexander's capitulating realm. Although the Dragon was slain the remaining Yuraks were left weakened and were quickly mopped up by General Evan Woodsley and General Byron Oro.

## **Death of Alexander Clement**

After the war's end, Tokuda had begun the trials for the captured Yurak lords and began rebuilding the Capital City of Reichlandia. During this time he visited Alexander who was only months away from dying, Tokuda presented Alexander with an offer. If Alexander agreed to join the Republic upon his death, he would be allowed to rule his realm until death. Alexander knew his days were numbered and had enough of the constant bloodshed and fighting. Alexander agreed to this and on March the 11th, 1642 A.T.F he died in his sleep.

## ***Personality***

Alexander was known to be a charismatic and inspiring leader, he was forged by his father to be the perfect leader. Many were astounded by how talented the young king was throughout his career. Alexander was known to be caring to those in his Kingdom, but two sided to those who were not directly loyal to him. Alexander was also known to be extremely stubborn.

## ***Appearance***

Alexander possessed white skin, he had short black hair and dark brown freckles all over his face. He has brown eyes and was often regarded as having big ears, he stood 5.4 feet tall and weighed 142 pounds. It was said that Alexander usually wore an all blue linen trench coat with chainmail behind it. When he was not in battle it was said he preferred wool robes, an apparel popular in Bergia. He carried with him a golden flintlock pistol that was custom made for him from gold mined in Goldpeaks; it was inscribed with the quote "The Defiant".
