WEAKNESS: Possibly drink..

FAMILY: A step-father long dead, a father (unknown whereabouts), and an elf mother, who disowned him.

HISTORY: Alavant was born in the woods near the thromnian mountains of Seroff, to an elf called Illamorsa. 9 months previously, she'd had a short affair with a lost human traveller. The man had strayed away from the map, and the elves had took him in for a short time.. The man grew close to Illamorsa and when the relationship was found out, he was cast back into the woods, and Illamorsa was sent to marry a high elf. 9 months later she gave birth to Alavant, and she (and her family) were horrified to find it was a half elf. Her husband, infuriated, drove her from the Elf colony and, as after travelling for months, living on scraps, ended up in Kellioss. Her life ruined, she sought to fix it by getting rid of the child:

Illamorsa looked over the edge of the docks.. Workers were busying all around her, no one giving her a second glance. She turned her gaze to the child in her arms. A small round face looked up to her and smiled.

She turned away, tears flowing through her eyes. Shaking, she outstretched her arms..

"Are you alright, miss?" said a young sailor nearby, putting down a heavy wooden barrell. He looked sideways at her, and walked over.
"I said are you alri-"

Illamorsa flung her baby over the edge of the docks. When she heard the splash, she flung back her head and screamed. The sailor panicked and pushed the woman aside. He took of his jacket and dived into the depths after the child...

Alavant was rescued that day by the sailor known as Reynold Ecarastone. He would be raised by him under his name. It was not known what happened to his mother, but it is mosty presumed she went back to her kind. At the age of 12, after much nagging, his father let him accompany him on a shipment, across the sea to what is known now as Jonathan's kingdom.

But on their voyage across the seas, the ship was caught in a storm in the bent ocean, and was destroyed, killing all the crew, including the captain and father of Alavant, Reynold Ecarastone. An unconcious child was soon found on the shores of the west river. Bruised and soaked.

A year later, Alavant had found his way to being a cabin boy aboard the ship "The Encounterer" A trading ship that travelled back and forth the west and east river.

After many travels, the captain of "The Encounterer" sold his ship for the profits, and Alavant, his first mate was left at the age of 17, in the middle of the town square of Nalid with the clothes he was standing in.

After a few thefts and muggings he was caught by the city guard. They gave him a choice of joining the city guard to keep law and order, or hanging like a common criminal. He joined the guard at the age of 18, And not long after, rumours grew of a man named Jonnathan and his army, and of course the rumours of the dissapearance of Queen Moradia... Alavant witnessed Jonathan's army take over the city, and fought alongside the Queen's battalion for the freedom of Nalid and the kingdom. He witnessed the death of his close friend, Sergeant Temolith of the palace guard by Thanos Valeris, and was one of the very few that remained of the guards that hadn't fled or been killed, surviving with a flesh wound on the arm and a deep scar across his left eye. Keeping a low profile, he kept his position in the city guard, and witnessed Jonnathan rise to power..
Now it's 23 years later. Corporal Alavant of the night's watch section is a lowly guard in Nalid, the humble city guards that once were are now mostly gone, replaced by thugs and barbarians. He tries (unsuccessfully) to keep law and order in an evil city, letting corrupted elves and thug guards run around the city under the reign of the terrible Jonnathan.

He has few friends apart from the few surviving original Nalid guards, who were human and had either been corrupted or retired by now.. His closest aquaintances are Corporal Amir, a fellow guard, and Ratchel Penedict, an explosives expert and dealer in illegal goods.

CLOSEST TO: Corporal Amir, a fellow guard in the city, secretly has connections with the Travellers.

ALLIES: Corporal Amir, Ratchel Penedict, Sergeant Temolith (deceased), and apparently the city guards.

ENEMIES: Deep down, it's Jonnathan and his men. And anyone who disobeys the law.
