Personality and character

Alen is a reckless knight with a fiery personality. His fighting style is often to charge into the enemy with brute force. To Thite, he explains that it is because as a cavalier of the army, he must show his strength to the enemy. However, Marcus advises him not to be so rash when fighting. Although he is so daring, he takes his job as a knight very seriously. He is very devoted to protecting the other soldiers, especially Roy. He trains very hard to get stronger, even on the battlefield, in order to help Roy.

Alen says little about his past in his support conversations. He is a very good friend of Lance and as a Pheraean knight, his job is to protect Roy.
