When Teo was defeated, Alen pleaded with Teo to hold on, unsure of what the empire would do without him. | |||

Alen consented to Teo's final wish, his true loyalty being to Teo rather than the Empire. Otherwise, it is said that his passionate soul meant that if he had not held Teo's final request in such high esteem, Alen may never have surrendered to the Liberation Army, viewing surrender as a great humiliation and feeling that while one lives one should always fight. | ||
