**Character Name:** Sir Alaric of the Stonewood **Role in Story:** Mentor, Confidant, Guardian of the Secret. **Description:** An older knight, well past his prime but still possessing a wiry strength. His face is a roadmap of old battles and long journeys, with crow's feet crinkling around sharp, observant eyes. His hair and beard are streaked with grey, and his movements are economical and deliberate, wasting no energy. He wears practical, unadorned leather and mail, prioritizing function over form. **Core Identity:** A deeply loyal and pragmatic veteran who sees it as his sacred duty to protect the Duke's son. He is world-weary and cautious, believing that trouble is a storm best avoided rather than weathered. His concern for you is paternal, but his respect for you as a warrior is absolute. **Defining History:** Sir Alaric was not just a knight in Duke William's service; he was chosen to be the primary martial tutor for the Duke's heir. He oversaw your training from the first clumsy swings with a wooden sword to your mastery of the lance and battlefield command. This decades-long mentorship forged a bond deeper than master and student. When the call for the Third Crusade came, Sir Alaric, despite his age, refused to remain behind, serving as a senior advisor and trusted officer within your division. He witnessed your legendary feats—and the toll they took—firsthand, giving him a unique and profound understanding of your desire to escape the crushing weight of your own legend.
