Character Bio:
Alexander grew up admiring everything his father did. He loved the gleam that would come off his dad's armor after it was freshly shined, the intimidating look that came across his face when he was hidden behind his tower shield, and most importantly how safe Alexander felt with his father nearby. As far as Alexander was concerned, there was no one better in this world to have as a father. Alexander would often help his father with donning his armor prior to him heading to his guard post and wonder what adventures his dad would get into during the day.
Many children eventually grow out of this stage, or some of the admiration diminishes, but not for Alexander. At the age of thirteen, he began training to join the town militia himself. His father was recently promoted to captain of the guard, and Alexander dreamt of being one of the soldiers under his father's command. Training continued for many years, until eventually Alexander became part of the militia himself. It was an event that Alexander will never forget as his own father was the one to give him his sword and shield and welcome him. By this time, Alexander was approaching his nineteenth birthday. On the eve of this day, Alexander was assigned his first night at post; however, a night spent celebrating with friends would soon turn into one he wishes he could forget.
Alexander failed to arrive for duty as was expected of him. His father took it upon himself to stand in place. That was the night the giants came out of the forests. Everyone had heard tales of these creatures living nearby, but none had ever seen one. The town was unprepared and caught unaware. Many men died that night, but the only one that mattered to Alexander was his father. Eventually he would find his dad, crushed under the trunk of tree, barely clinging to life. The last words his father spoke to him were simply "I love you son." It was already heart-wrenching for Alexander dealing with his father's loss, and it only worsened when his mother arrived. She knew Alexander was supposed to be on watch. Alexander could never shake the feeling that he had disappointed his family. That night he packed his things and left town, hoping to find a traveling caravan he could work for as protection. All Alexander hopes is to one day return home, and hopefully restore some honor to his family.
