That is, until his father, Baron Gregor Falkiri, was involved in a conspiracy with Baron Vieron, head of another small, but wealthy house. Believing he was helping Vieron unearth a conspiracy in Ishgard, all he ended up being was Vieron's scapegoat when his plans of a coup were discovered. With the other houses "convinced" of Baron Falkiri's guilt, they assembled and marched on their small but wealthy holdings, intent on burning them to the ground, and erasing the family name from existence. Thanks to some forewarning, Baron Falkiri and his wife were able to get their son to safety as Ishgard's families had their armies burn their home to the ground. In the days that followed, Gregor Falkiri knew that if he were to stay with his family they would be recognised, so sent his wife and child away, as he left Ishgard to travel to the family tomb and seal away the Falkiri family sword, for Alderoth to reclaim when he was old enough. For much of his Youth, Alderoth was stuck living in the Brume with his mother, who turned to the bottle to cope with their hopeless situation. Unfortunately this lifestyle took its toll, and she was found dead in a gutter just one year later. Alone and without help, Alderoth was forced to steal to survive, quickly growing adept at pick pocketing and snatching food from stalls, gaining impressive athletic and acrobatic abilities along the way. He became an unnamed scourge in the Brume, leaving authorities and shop owners infuriated and baffled as to whom this tiny terror was. Early Adulthood A bond forged When he had turned 12, Alderoth had the fate one day to pick the pocket of a member of House Vaillant, named Alaister. The young man realised quickly he had been stolen from, and chased the youth down, but was confounded by his swift skills for some time. In the end he was successful, knocking Alderoth over and retrieving his money. However when he saw the face of the Youth who had just attempted to steal from him, Alaister had an unexpected sense of pity for the boy, and rather than take him before the city guard, took him to his father, Baron Alain de Vaillant. Unknown to both Alderoth and Alaister, the latter of whom had pleaded with his father to take Alderoth on as a ward of the house, Alain recognised Alderoth from his hair, as a member of the lost house Falkiri, whom he had helped burn down and remove from history many years ago. It was not known if it was out of shame or pity - but Alain approved Alaister's request without contest, and from that moment, Alderoth's life as a thief was over. The next few years for Alderoth, were nothing but intense training, schooling, and etiquette lessons, turning him from the young urchin he was, into a skillful warrior, capable of using both Sword and Lance. When asked to choose, Alderoth specialised in the Lance, gaining the eye of the Dragoons, who eventually accepted him for training as one of their own. For some time Alderoth served as a Dragoon of Ishgard, protecting her from the Dragons that threatened the city, all the time spending time with, and gaining a bond with Alaister, whom began to see him as the brother he never had, rather than a friend. In Recent Times Moving Forward Since the Calamity, Alderoth continued to fight as a Dragoon for some time, aiding his friend Alaister when he was framed for treason by Baron Vieron, much as his own father some two decades back. Convinced utterly of his friends innocence, he took voluntary exile with his friend, fleeing Ishgard and Vireon's assassins, to seek shelter in Ul'dah while they sought a way to clear his name. During this exile, Alderoth met new friends, and even a romantic interest, whom also aided in their attempts to clear Alaister's name. Eventually Alaister challenged Vireon to honourable combat to prove his innocence, watched over by Alderoth who ensured that none of the devious Barons assassins would be able to interfere. The death of Vireon cleared their names, and unknown to Alderoth, avenged his father as well. Following this, Alderoth found his fathers journal in the burnt ruins of his old home, and following the clues, was able to locate the resting place of the Family Blade, as well as the remains of his father. After enduring several harsh trials, conjured by aetherial magics in the tomb designed to test him, Alderoth gripped the hilt of his fathers blade, and claimed the last legacy of his father. After considering his position, Alderoth decided it was time to lay down his Lance, feeling Dragoons were no longer needed with the Dragonsong War at an end. He asked his old friend Alaister to allow him to return to the Vaillant family, to serve as a Knight, and most importantly serve the man he considered his bother. Now, he trains in the way of the Sword once more, so that he may be an effective Knight.
