He wasn't afraid to get into fist fights with fellow soldiers to get his point across. Though with all these negative qualities he was ultimately honest, loyal, and dependable, and truth worthy.

More of his good qualities are present as well compared to when he was younger.

He is well versed in close quarter combat and long range warfare, and recently he has learned to take on the skills of an assassin. Using all his senses and his magical abilities to the next level. 

Alkeides knows a wide range of self taught magical powers. He typically only uses his magic to help enhance himself and rarely does he use it for offensive usage. The main schools of magic that Alkeides knows are: restoration, alteration, illusion, minor destruction and even minor conjuration (shape-shifting). 

[b]Biography:[/b] Born and raised in Hadrian's Archipelago, Alkeides grew up on a farm where he was raised by two foster parents who found the young boy living by himself in the nearby woods. He hunted, gathered, clothed, and even constructed shelters all by himself. No one is quite sure as to where his real parents were or how'd he end up living on his own, but one thing is for certain was that Alkeides was gifted. He had taught himself a variety of different magical abilities from restoration to even minor conjuration, and he was highly intelligent for his age. Living on a farm helped Alkeides build up muscle mass and numerous other life lessons. Eventually he came of age and had to join the military like all boys his age. Here is where Alkeides became the man he is today in terms of combat and war tactics. The Hadrianite training is second-to-none and these were some of the best soldiers that walk the face of the Earth. They have strictest training and the most brutal. Deaths are not uncommon here and only the best survive and become soldiers. Alkeides finished his training early and was put onto the front lines right away. He was unique amongst the other soldiers due to his rather unorthodox ways due to him living by himself in the woods for the majority of his young life. Eventually he would become the youngest General and would lead many successful campaigns. For ten years Heracles was on active duty and it was at the age of thirty two that finally a revelation hit him. Alkeides was given word to command a small group of soldiers to attack a thought abandoned fortress somewhere within Chalcidivus. As the men arrived to the location they realized that the Chalcidivians have been expecting them. Alkeides and his men fell straight into a trap and were killed off by rather quickly as they were outnumbered. During the struggle Heracles was stabbed in the torso by a spear user, but this was not enough to take the man down. However, another spear wielder arrived and stabbed Alkeides in the back. Making the general fall to his knees in pain and agony. Alkeides eyed the two spearmen and told them to end his life, to give him an honourable death, but his request was denied and he was left to die. Alkeides survived and crawled away into a nearby forest to heal and soon realized that he was sent to his death. He was unsure as to why, but he cared little for the reasoning. Alkeides decided not to return to Hadrian's Archipelago, but to instead to live out his life alone, away from the outside world. He had been living this carefree life for nearly ten years now, doing out jobs here and there from being a farm hand to assassinations missions and mercenary work.
