Background[]
Aleksander became the North God early in his age and he had 20 students who after a few years, they parted ways with Alek to walk their own paths which resulted to Alek never taking another disciple.[1]
Plot[]
Volume 25 - Young Man Period - Decisive Battle Chapter[]
He worked as one of Gisu associates in order to destroy the Superd Tribe and kill Orsted, with the objective of achieving the title of "Hero". He however, cared very little about the circumstances of the Superd or Hitogami scheme and was only interested in the fame that came with the Hero title. Rudeus and company were able to defeat him after an intense battle and was considered dead for a while. However, as he is a descendant of Atofe it was only a matter of time until his body regenerated. He was eventually defeated by Orsted after a very one sided battle that lasted only 10 minutes and in which he ended up losing both arms. He subsequently ended up becoming another subordinate of Orsted and member of the ORSTED Corporation.
When Rudeus is on missions for Orsted, he usually leaves Alek to protect and watch over his children especially Sieghart Saladin Greyrat who really likes the stories about his father.
In Orsted's knowledge of the original history, Alek fell into despair after losing to Jino Britts and took a single child as his disciple who was no way talented but by watching him grow and correcting himself, he matured to be a true North God. In the second Laplace Wars, Alek proved himself to be history's strongest North God. Orsted suggests that Alek train Sieghart in the North God Style with the intention of the same outcome in the current timeline with Alek teaching Sieghart. [1]
