Hynes Family/Alois
Alois, eldest son of Elmont and Eva Hyness, is the complete opposite of his cousin. Young, overly proud, boisterous and loud mouthed. Alois is the perfect example of the family black sheep.
Alois fascination with the Army began early in his life, unlike Johann whose fascination began around the age of ten. He would forsake studying and sneak away to play in the woods around Woolton and now feels natural and at ease in the rural areas.
After hearing of Johann's exploits at Al Arab as his elder cousin passed through Woolton, Alois left to join Ubent at the age of seventeen as the realm was about to enter the Ibladesh/Itorunt war.
He was captured at Ar Raqqah soon afterwards and his ego was deflated a little until his release. Upon his return, the army began to recruit and headed out to Al Aquabah. Here, during a massive battle that left Itorunt's army crushed and Ibladesh staring into the eyes of defeat, his ego was reinflated just a tad and, in the throes of battlelust, decided to become a hero.
