Known as the "Ice Wolf" by anyone unfortunate enough to encounter him in battle, Lord Alden presides over the snowy kingdom of Hibernia. He has remained neutral in the conflict between the Kingdom and the Empire, preferring to coolly observe the war rather than ally himself with one of the combatants. The only person Alden truly relies upon is Melior whom he consults for advice and whom he brings with him into battle. Alden's greatest passion is the game of chess; he is considered the best player on the Continent.
