Last post tonight! I swear!

Alistair, my ancient OC, is renamed Alexander! Here is a comparison between the the 2026 comic version and his black and gold design from 2010:

Now wearing parade armor, you may not be able to see with the helmet on, but he still has his iconic long black hair.

Alexander is 23yo, which may or may not be the same age that Alistair was in my original comic. The aristocratic asshole hasn't changed much since my high school days. Still goth. Still overly protective and creepily obsessed with Natalya. Antonia is still disgusted by him.

So whats his story?
Sir Alexander is of course Natalya's body guard and a knight of Perovskia. He is the empire's top swordsman, but he is outclassed by Valon's own sword master Yzer. Yzer's star pupil, Zanub (another ancient OC), is equally matched with Alexander. Yzer's other pupil, prince Harmund, is lazy and refuses to practice. Alexander already despises Valon's prince, who is betrothed to Natalya, so Harmund's lack of discipline is just one more reason for Alexander to hate him.

There are very few people that Alexander can tolerate. He appreciates Ludmir's practical nature, and he considers Ilarion very dependable and honest. Alexander considers these two people his closest friends. He mistreats his squire, Nikifor, but sees his potential. Despite the physical and verbal abuse of the boy, Alexander specifically selected Nikifor as his squire for his fiery personality.
