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.
After The Southern Federation plowed through Ubent like a scytche, Alois decided to nominate himself for General. He was in the running and looked to win when his liege, Vapor, demanded Alois step down and let him take the position even though Vapor himself had conceded he was unfit to command. After a heated debate, Vapor won the election and Alois found himself chased from Ubent by the powers that be.
Hearing rumors on the Kalmarian situation, Alois decided to check it out for himself before immigrating. He has no real ties to the realm, and wishes none for any realm. He just wants a fight.
