Nickolai Alaric

Nickolai Alaric is a close friend from Keith's childhood. He opposed Keith's exile from the Basitin Isles, and later worked his way through the Basitin hierachy to become the Master General, at least partly motivated by a desire to see Keith's return from exile. He has a prominent scar over his left eye (in which he may or may not be blind) which he is proud of; it was inflicted by the Intelligence General for questioning his orders. He is gregarious and has an enormous sense of humour, and is apparently well respected by the Basitin population.

He flaunts his position, frequently bending the extremely strict Basitin laws for his own amusement and flying in the face of conventional Basitin thinking. He is an extremely skilled combatant, able to defeat even an experienced fighter such as Keith on a one-on-one fight with no difficulty, and was able to attain a rank of General at a very young age. He is passionate in his beliefs and works towards the future of the Basitin state.

On his character bio it is said his sexuality is Ambiguous which means he has lacking clearness. He appears to harbour romantic feelings for Keith.
