Biography

Rebuilding Rodova around exceptional recruits

Fifteen years of finishing behind Geneva leaves Alric under institutional pressure to restore Rodova's standing, so he treats the new intake as a strategic problem rather than a ceremonial duty. Once Leo Skyshard and Su Yang prove exceptional, he protects the academy's commercial leverage, supports their selection, and turns their Circuits victory into a Rodova-wide celebration. His last direct scene shows that success complicated by Leo's public arrest warrant, which visibly unsettles him; the corpus does not establish his response afterward. (Chapters 26, 41, 149–155, 183, 213–245, and 390)

Appearance and personality

Alric is in his sixties, broad-shouldered, gray-haired, blue-eyed, and scarred from battlefield service. Calm and imposing in formal settings, he can also be calculating and commercially shrewd, delaying sponsor negotiations to improve Rodova's bargaining position while showing rare open delight when his students succeed. (Chapters 26 and 151)

Abilities and power progression

Alric is an experienced former general, strategist, and administrator with sharp judgment of recruits and institutional politics. The supplied chapters do not show him fighting, identify a cultivation tier, or name a personal technique, so his battlefield mechanics and any later power progression remain unknown. (Chapters 26, 41, and 151)

Relationships

  • Leo Skyshard and Su Yang become the talents on whom Alric stakes Rodova's revival; he promotes their opportunities and takes pride in their victory. (Chapters 41, 149–155, and 233–245)
  • Yu Shen is the senior captain Alric helps place around the younger team members during Rodova's Circuits campaign. (Chapters 149–160 and 233)

Items

Alric is shown with ordinary office files, a champagne glass, and Rodova's ceremonial staff. No named personal weapon or notable artifact is established. (Chapters 26, 151, and 233)
