Born to a fishing family, Alen was first inspired to join the [[Imperial Army]] at the age of 12 when he saw Teo McDohl's victory parade in [[Gregminster]] following his victory over the [[City-State of Jowston]]. His parents were reluctant to give their blessing, partly because of their lack of noble or military ties, but eventually agreed and at 15, Alen would enroll in the [[Imperial Academy]]. | Born to a fishing family, Alen was first inspired to join the [[Imperial Army]] at the age of 12 when he saw Teo McDohl's victory parade in [[Gregminster]] following his victory over the [[City-State of Jowston]].

Skilled in swordplay from the beginning, he had steadily improved in [[rune]] handling but suffered from an impatient temperament. He would be classmates with [[Clet]] and would quickly develop a rivalry with Grenseal, whose more reserved, studious natured irked the passionate Alen. | ||
An argument between the two would provoke Grenseal into improving his swordsmanship as well as his mind, and in the 4th round of a training tournament, Alen would be soundly defeated by Grenseal's more methodical fighting style. This greatly unnerved Alen as he felt that his sword skills were what gave him the edge in competing for a rare, coveted appointment in the Central Army. | An argument between the two would provoke Grenseal into improving his swordsmanship as well as his mind, and in the 4th round of a training tournament, Alen would be soundly defeated by Grenseal's more methodical fighting style.

During the [[Gate Rune War]], Alen aided General Teo in the [[First Battle with Teo]]. His intensity led him to ask Teo for permission to continue pursuit of the enemy after [[Pahn]] had dueled Teo but he was rebuked and ordered to withdraw. Following the Imperial defeat at the [[Second Battle with Teo]], Alen vowed to battle down to the last man. Teo once again had to tell Alen to stand down, when Alen tried to stop him from dueling [[Hero (Suikoden)|his son]]. | During the [[Gate Rune War]], Alen aided General Teo in the [[First Battle with Teo]].
