Aleksi

You cannot know anything. Only suspect. This article contains content from pre-release sources that may or may not be reflective of canon upon release. This article therefore likely contains spoilers.

Aleksi was a captain of the Order of the Ancients operating in England during the late ninth century. A ruthless commander marked with scars all over his arms and face, Aleksi took pleasure in hunting down and executing as many Hidden Ones as possible.

Biography

In 872, Aleksi led an expedition to Warwick Burh, having tracked down a Shroud of Eden to the location. The Order occupied the fortress and, once the Piece of Eden was found, Aleksi locked himself up in a hidden garret atop a river-facing tower to study the artifact. He stayed in the room for days, writing tirelessly, doing "calculations" and talking to the consciousnesses in the Shroud. When the room was breached by Eivor Varinsdottir and her allies, they found its completely covered in writings and etchings, with Aleksi standing with his back to the door, writing on the rock wall with blood, using his forefinger which had worn down to the bone. Aleksi turned towards them and, while his finger healed, Consus addressed Eivor through him, asking her to stop Juno. Juno's consciousness, however, quickly took control of Aleksi and attacked the group, though they managed to retrieve the Shroud.

Behind the scenes

Due to the open ended nature of the roleplaying game, it is unknown whether Aleksi survives the encounter with Eivor and the others or not. His description of "hunting down...Hidden Ones" is suspect as until the arrival of Basim and Hytham to England there had been no Hidden Ones on the island for centuries.
