History: Born in a small village he learned the ways of the warrior from his father. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a ruined castle. He would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days.

The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Alston took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up rapier and armor he uses now. He left for the south, certain he would find work there.
