Alden was from another enemy kingdom along with his younger brother, Sebastian. They had parents too, until one fateful day, when both of them were very little, their home was raided, and their parents were killed. The two brothers didn't know who did it. They were left heart broken. They were transferred to an orphanage, since they didn't rlly have any relatives left. They got tangled up in some trouble when trying to make money so they could leave, and ended up crossing the border to another kingdom. Thankfully, Esmeralda, the Queen, dropped all charges and forgave them (Alden was 15 and Sebastian was 10 at the time) instead, she offered Alden to train with the royal knights to defend the kingdom, and Sebastian went to school since he was too young. It was all like a new beginning, everyone was happy. Alden became best friends with the prince, Ash, who also trained with him. Alden was a goofy extrovert who would never shut up, and was always with a smile or laughing. When his graduation came (he was 20, Sebastian was 15 so it was the day Sebastian was enrolled too) And so he got his knights name, Sir Alden Blackwell, it was all fine and dandy until the queen was murdered and Alden got blamed for it entirely :). He became a fugitive, two kingdoms hated him, he didn't smile anymore often but he wasn't depressed either. Sebastian then was constantly bullied because of Blackwell's actions. And literally EVERYBODY hated him and Blackwell. But then Blackwell met some goofball named Alex and for the next 4 years (Alden became 21 when he met Alex, and Alex was 13) he and Alex became besties and Blackwell trained him and they ended up in traveling dimensions. (the dimension event happen when Blackwell was 23 and Alex was 15 and Mira was 13) so yea.
