A disputed knight-heir whose public claim grows more dangerous whenever mercy costs him power.
Updated
Tags: character, protagonist, public-guide.
Public role: Alaric is the first story's central claimant, but he should read less like a chosen king and more like a capable young knight being forced to learn what lawful rule costs.
Appearance: sun-faded cloak, scarred gauntlets, controlled armor movement, and a royal sword that makes every public act of mercy harder to hide.
Personality: restrained, physically brave, protective toward commoners, and uneasy whenever law and mercy point in different directions.
Voice: formal knightly plain speech. He answers accusations with vows, uses military detail when cornered, and avoids the royal 'we' because it feels like stealing a crown before earning it.
