.:Personality:. Alcide isn’t a grey area kind of guy. There is very little room for errors and mistakes in his world; he perceives things in a clear-cut, level-headed manner. Externally, he’s silent but fierce – despite his relatively young age, his personal demeanor is very strong and his actions and presence are commanding and dominating. He’s forceful, self-confident but not hubristic, concise and can also alternatively be either just or ruthless when it is called for, depending on the situation. He has the discipline and honor of a warrior, and although he is loyal to his cause, he is not a blind follower – if he has opinions, he never hesitates to vocalize them. Protecting the high priests and priestesses is not a calling to him; he simply sees it as a duty and a responsibility.
.:Strengths:. Sword fighting, archery, close quarters combat, horseback riding, naturally commanding/influental, leadership qualities, honorable.
.:Weaknesses:. Moral nihilism, slight insubordinate tendencies, sometimes approaches things too aggressively.
.:Magic Abilities:. None. He speaks the Old Language fluently, however, and has basic knowledge of magic and its fundamental properties.
.:Special Skills:. Skilled fighter and combatant due to his extensive training in fighting and warcraft.
.:Accents:. Camelotian

.:Birthplace:. Camelot
.:Family:. He is the son of Ulfric, a Saxon warlord and tribe leader and Danice, a priestess of the Old Religion. Both of his parents are deceased and he was raised and trained by the high priests on the Isle of the Blessed.
.:Occupation:. Blood Guard.
.:Current Location of Residence:. Isle of the Blessed/nomadic.
.:History:. Alcide was conceived during the night of Beltaine; his mother was a priestess and his father was the leader of a Saxon warrior tribe. The purpose of his parents’ union was simply to produce a successor to the bloodline and carry on the traditions of the Old Religion. Nine months after their encounter, Alcide was born. His mother died at childbirth due to complications but managed to give birth to a healthy son, much to the relief of the priesthood. His father was not present and was not involved in his upbringing or training in any way, and Alcide’s education and fight training fell to the hands of the priests who taught him to become a Blood Guard. When he was of age, he swore fealty to the Old Religion and the sacred magic, accepting his duties both as a soldier and a protector. He has been a Blood Guard ever since.
