Alexander

About
Alexander is an incredibly talented martial artist who is destined to become the champion of the Toushin Toshi tournament.

He is a tall man with a muscular physique, dark red hair and large, prominent eyebrows. In his youth he wore a red sleeveless karate gi, while in his later years he wears red plate mail in addition to gaining a scar across his right eye. Throughout his appearances, he wears a distinct red cape.

He is a straightforward and serious man who lives for battle. Throughout his youth, Alexander wandered The Continent in pursuit of strong opponents to fight in order to hone his skills. He participated in several different fighting tournaments while doing extensive mercenary work on the side and gradually refined his technique over time. Following his victory in the Toushin Toshi tournament, he becomes much more relaxed and jovial, and is more interested in finding a successor to his legacy than improving his own strength, though he remains eager to fight anyone who interests him.

During the events of Rance 01 he participated in the Leazas Colosseum, where he faced Rance. Despite being quite powerful, he was still fairly rough and untrained, and lost the fight rather easily.

He later appeared in Rance Quest, where he accepted the job offering posted by Rance at the McCart Bar in hopes that joining an adventuring party would assist him in his training, despite Rance emphasizing that he was only interested in female applicants. While Rance was initially dismissive of Alexander, he eventually caved in to his persistence and allowed him to travel with him. During this time, Alexander became enchanted by the beauty of Sill Plain, who was trapped in a block of unbreakable ice inside of Rance Castle, and developed a fetish for pink-haired girls, vowing to have a daughter of his own with pink hair. His desire for a pink-haired daughter was so great that he instantly proposed to Eropicha Nyanko after first laying eyes on her, though she immediately refused him. Sometime after the events of Rance Quest, Alexander found the pink-haired woman of his dreams and briefly settled down with her and had a daughter who he named Kumiko. He eventually went on to win the Toushin Toshi tournament, but immediately disappeared from the public eye after his victory and was never seen again, with many assuming he simply wandered off in search of his next challenge. In reality, he had been kidnapped and brainwashed by YORA, the villainous mayor of Toushin City who had been draining the power of previous champions in order to make himself stronger. He was eventually rescued by his daughter and her boyfriend, a young warrior named Custom, and the three worked together to defeat YORA.

Following YORA's defeat, Alexander gave his blessing to Kumiko and Custom, allowing them to get married, and assumed the role of mayor of Toushin City in YORA's place, where he continued to hold the Toushin Toshi tournament in hopes of finding more strong opponents.

Abilities
As the winner of the Toushin Toshi tournament, which is fought only by the strongest fighters in the world, Alexander is one of the most powerful people currently alive. He possesses a staggering level cap of 77, one of the highest in existence, surpassing the likes of even Rick Addison and Uesugi Kenshin, and giving him immense potential. He is a supremely talented martial artists who boasts a vast array of powerful techniques. He is the only character of the Brawler class in Rance Quest who is completely customizable, giving him access to every single possible unarmed fighting technique available. While his skill levels are currently unknown, his ability to learn every single known fighting technique suggests that he has Unarmed Combat Lv2.

Alexander's strength only increased with age, as he was able to deal incredible amounts of damage to YORA during their final battle despite YORA having power rivaling a high level Dark Lord and Alexander having had a large amount of his strength already drained. Notably, he is the only Toushin Toshi champion to sustain having his power drained by YORA without dying, suggesting that he is even more powerful than previous champions.

Trivia

 * He has a very similar appearance to several other Alicesoft characters with red hair and large eyebrows, such as Hubert Lipton. As he was the first of these characters to have been created, he could be seen as the inspiration for their designs.
 * He is erroneously called "Areki Thunder" in the English subtitles of the Rance 01 OVA.
 * He is the only character to appear in both Toushin Toshi and the Rance Series, though several Rance characters make cameo appearances as dimension door bosses in the former series, and YORA is mentioned multiple times in the latter series.
