Back Story

Exuberant and loud Alden lives his life always thinking on his feet. If you were to look for him, during the day he is off hunting, and collecting marks to make his living. At night you can find him anywhere they have a cold tankard of ale. Always laughing, Alden has a positive outlook on life and is constantly laughing while making an effort to make those around him happy. He wears a smile to mask his pain, which is PTSD from his time as a Captain of the Flames.

He was a former Flames Captain, commanding a regiment specialized in close quarters combat. The last to leave the battlefield and the first in line to fight. Anyone Alden was in charge of loved to fight; they never retreated and always charged forward. He is often referred to as a foolish hero because, as long as it meant saving someone, he would run in the direction of danger at a moment's notice. His body is covered in scars, which he conceals with tattoos.
After realizing the cost of saving the star was too high and resulted in numerous deaths, he left the Flames. In spite of his best efforts, he was unable to save everyone as they screamed for help. To at least feel useful, he now spends his time hunting, bounties, dangerous animals, and monsters close to towns and cities.

Early Life

As soon as his mother weaned him and he could walk, he was left in a war camp, near Ala Mhigo for training. He received nothing and had to find his own shelter, food, and clothes. Alden resorted to challenging other kids to fight and got their clothes as a prize.

Years later he returned home to see his family again trained and ready for war, but when he arrived Ala Mhigo was being taken over by Garlean forces. It seems that Ala Mhigo was falling due to a civil war, and it was all due to the rule of Theodoric, The king of Ruin. This led to the downfall of his home. The only person left in his home was his father Alfan, and together they fled the city-state to make their way to what is now known as Little Ala Mhigo. This is where Alden would continue his life, and eventually join Ul’Dah’s forces and become Captain of his own regiment of soldiers.
