A source of profound vexation for those in the noble stratum he was born into; for what reason would a noble fate his son to the life of a solider. Most speculated that Alphonse was the product of their lord's illustrious and hardly concealed fondness for unmarried women. Lady Siggurd (the Lord's wife, however, saw much of her lineage in the boy and denied such accusations diligently. Out of paranoia, if nothing else, his father was determined that the boy would mature as far removed from politics as possible. His eldest brothers were stout and competent enough to assume rule should the unforeseen claim Lord Damascus himself and more than anything he wanted someone among his progeny to be a closer relative of warfare than legislature. Upon the age of boyhood, Alphonse left the comforts of nobility at his own father's behest and was given to the Whitewood Templars under the charge of Ghandall Tvargunn. Ghandall was illustriously draconian in character, though not unjustly so. He had quelled more tides of war than any man could claim and with the political backing of the king himself had engineered a state of soldiers that could combat even the northern Great Houses. Alphonse worked tirelessly as a servant-hand in the militia's barracks; Ghandall's intention clear and simple: premature exposure to the lifestyle he would soon undertake. At the age of twelve he was enlisted into the institution of war and dedicated himself to the academia of martial politics, weaponology, and battlefield stratagems. In the decade preceding the story's start Alphonse participated in a number of regional wars and skirmishes; most notably was the battle he participated in that quelled the conflict between Asperos and Tvitlar. A battle that saw his ranks slaughtered and nearly beaten though because of the strategies he employed was ultimately spared from an untimely demise. He had matured into quite the capable battle tactician: ranking from the page who fumbled around haphazardly into a young man possessive of favor from Ghandall himself.[/indent][/indent]
