When SWAGGER Inc. first met Aldren, they saved him from a goblin attack. He was quite dashing, with long black hair, deep grey eyes, looking to be in his twenties with very fair skin, and wearing very fine clothing.

Biography
He’s  a charming  conversationalist, well-read and with a seemingly endless cache of stories about the high life in Stillbend. In particular, Aldren seems desperate to “learn how to be a hero.”

Plagued with visions his whole life, Aldren grew up to be a true noble, he married his cousin Iesha Foxglove, he resumed his father’s legacy as a merchant, he worked hard and made his name known. He was pleased to find out that Iesha was pregnant.

He made his way through to the Temple District of Stillbend and came upon Nualia. There she recounted the tale of Mordak, tempting Aldren with knowledge and power. He was wary of the Cult of Mordak, but Nualia seduced him.

Despite his confusion, Aldren was still loyal to his wife. He told her of Nualia, who showed up with Manos. Iesha lashed out and almost killed Nualia, but Aldren stopped her and Nualia killed Iesha. Aldren was horrified as what he had done, and knew there was no turning back, he joined the Cult of Mordak and then was tasked with killing the rest of his family.

He realized he was chosen by Mordak at birth to be his Champion, that’s what Manos told him about his visions. He had to face a trial and loose flesh. They had a ritual at the semi abandoned Greyskull Keep, where he dueled with Nualia. SWAGGER interrupted the ritual but it succeeded when Nualia took off Aldren’s forearm with her sword. Manos, Aldren, and Nualia escaped.
