"Well, it's presumptuous of me, a mere servant, to say this, but I think the Princess is mine to protect."

- Allen

Allen Avadonia, born Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche and regarded as The Servant of Evil, was the last Prince of the Kingdom of Lucifenia and a servant to his twin sister, Princess Riliane. After the death of their father, the twins were separated in a political dispute. Pronounced dead and adopted by Leonhart Avadonia, "Allen" returned to the royal palace to serve as his sister's chamberlain, helping exterminate any opposition to Riliane's tyranny.

Skills and Abilities
"Even in my opinion, your sword is very powerful."

- Riliane's thoughts on Allen's swordplay

Although relegated to the menial work of a servant, Allen was very knowledgeable about politics and was revered by the Lucifenian ministers for his political savvy. Because of his analytical mind, Allen was able to deduce the political ramifications for any action which, combined with his knowledge of current affairs, helped him understand the reasoning behind it, such as Kyle's choice to continue with Riliane's execution despite knowing Allen had taken her place.

As a result, he was a skilled planner, such as with his planned switch with Riliane, and could adapt, having used an anesthesia on Leonhart after being unable to find a lethal poison. Similarly, he was a capable diplomat, although typically remaining uninvolved in political affairs unless required to. Because of his resemblance to his sister, Allen could effectively masquerade as Riliane, though anyone who had actually met either of them could easily see through the disguise. He was also able to imitate Riliane's voice and could convincingly act as her.

Having trained under the tutelage of Leonhart, Allen was a strong swordsman, considered a "fencing genius" by Germaine when he was only thirteen. Although having learned numerous techniques under Leonhart, Allen developed his own technique, Unicorn Style, where he centered his blade in front of him while making his offensive. However, because he lacked combat experience, Allen was prone to speak too much in battle and lacked quick foresight in adjusting against more difficult opponents.

As a servant, the boy was skilled at a variety of chores such as cleaning, cooking, and running errands, though he considered his skills inferior to that of his fellow servant, Ney. He was also adept at horseback riding and could sing. After his death, Allen was able to manifest his spirit in the Third Period, with Sickle's permission, and could communicate with others. However, interfering with the world would leave him exhausted once he returned to the Heavenly Yard and he would sleep for untold amounts of time. He could also communicate telepathically with others seemingly instantly.

Character Connections
Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche: Allen's twin sister. As children the two held a close relationship, though strained during the political conflicts that separated them; after becoming Riliane's servant, Allen devoted himself to her protection, willing to sacrifice his own well-being and that of others for her happiness. He perceived Riliane as being a lonely and gentle girl deep down, though acknowledging that she could also be cruel, and was often comforted by her presence when afraid.

Leonhart Avadonia: Allen's adoptive father. While thinking of him as a father, Allen held a high respect for Leonhart and saw himself as unworthy of addressing him as such, instead just calling the warrior "Captain Leonhart". While initially refusing to kill him, Allen felt deeply betrayed and hurt when told Leonhart was using him to get at the princess and was confused about the knight's reasons even as he died.

Germaine Avadonia: Allen's foster sister. They bonded over their rescue of Chartette and became very close, Allen occasionally asking after Germaine in the time he worked at the palace and thinking of her as his "righteous sister." Their relationship became strained on his end after killing Leonhart, and he disapproved of her methods of avenging him; despite this, Allen continued to love Germaine until his death, even afterwards relying on her swordsmanship to help Yukina.

Chartette Langley: Allen's childhood friend and fellow servant of Riliane. Allen always tried to keep Chartette out of trouble, rescuing her when they were kids and supervising her work to make sure she didn't slack off or do any damage with her strength. The two of them were able to converse on a less formal level than other servants.

Ney Futapie:  A fellow servant of Riliane. Allen trusted Ney more than Chartette with discussing matters such as Michaela's ordered assassination or Leonhart's reasons for sending Allen to the palace. He held no ill will towards her for the rumors she relayed to Riliane and himself, comforting her whenever she appeared distressed.

Mariam Futapie: Allen's superior as a chamberlain. Allen saw Mariam as an employer for the most part and found her character inscrutable. Nonetheless, he spoke to her about his confusion at having such a different role from his sister, Riliane, and saw her, as one of the few people to know his true lineage, as an ally. Nearing the end of the revolution, he shared words of farewell with the Head of Maids.

Michaela: Allen's crush. Allen fell in love with Michaela after listening to her sing. He found her very beautiful and talented, and was tolerant of her teasing when, elsewhere, he would become angered. He became conflicted between his love for her and devotion to Riliane after learning she was Kyle's supposed lover, and eventually was heartbroken by her death.

Keel Freezis: A merchant whom Allen visits. Allen found Keel to be a very intelligent and pragmatic businessman, unable to fully understand the life that the latter lived. Despite this, he appreciated Keel's tendency of putting loved ones first due to his own devotion to Riliane and Michaela.

Kyle Marlon: Riliane's fiancé. Although only knowing him from afar, Allen expressed an intention of destroying him for making Riliane unhappy. After being arrested he viewed Kyle as a potential problem due to his overpowering emotions, but agreed with his political motivations to continue with the execution.

Hänsel: An intended past incarnation. Allen was fated to be a reincarnation of Hänsel and shared the boy's appearance but, due to the disturbance of fate caused by Abyss I.R. and Prim Marlon, no Hänsel was born during that cycle.

Irregular: An entity connected to Allen. Irregular manifests sometime after Allen's death, located outside of the Heavenly Yard, while Allen himself was considered "irregular."

Sickle: The god of the sun and Allen's mentor. Although perplexed by the god's namelessness and his enigmatic nature, Allen nevertheless was obedient to his will and did what he asked even when the task was boring or he was unaware of the intended outcome. Additionally, he took Sickle's counsel seriously and relied on him for aid when the situation arose.
