Alexander Lightbringer Character in Vassala | World Anvil

Alexander Lightbringer

King Alexander Cedric Lightbringer

"Something about him is supernatural. I don't trust him. It isn't because I don't think he is trustworthy, but because he IS so trustworthy. Never before have I seen a man as honorable as this one. I don't trust him because it is my job to know how other people will act, and all people act the same, they hold onto their morals until they see an opportunity to get ahead because dig graving don't sound so bad then. That applies to everyone except King Alexander. This man's will is unbreakable. I don't trust him because I don't know how he will act! I've never met a man without falter but here stands a man before me who I truly believe has never faltered. I trust him to be king, but I would never trust him with a stack of forged ledgers." - Boss O'Tooley

Personal history

Alexander spent most of his early years behind the white walls of the Golden Palace, learning the lessons and history that have been passed down his bloodline for centuries. His father Cedric taught him what it means to be king as well as how a king is to act and rule over the people. Well-mannered from a young age, Alexander quickly began befriending the citizens of Highguard. His charm and good-nature were widely contrasted by most adolescents his age. However, on his 14th birthday, his life and the lives of Highguard would change forever. For the first time in over 5 centuries, Highguard was attacked. Queldashi assassin's invaded the palace, murdering Queen Anne and endangering both Alexander and his father's lives. Cedric quickly sneaked Alexander onto a boat and sent him off with Alexander's uncle Azabar. The merchant ship took the two royal family members across the continent to Shal. There, Alexander trained with his uncle for 5 years until his uncle passed away from illness. The young Alexander knew if he was to return to save his kingdom he would need more training and knowledge. He looked to the Shaloran Knights for wisdom. He spent another 3 years in utter seclusion with the knights until he felt that he had learned all he could. Upon his return to Highguard, he found that his father had just fallen in battle while defending the country side from Queldashi forces. Since then, Alexander has managed to ally other nations and through diplomacy, prevent further invasions from the Queldashi. But, that can only last so long.

Though these are not his only accomplishments, they are his most recognized ones.
