Allen Avadonia

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

- Allen

Allen Avadonia, formerly Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche, 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.

Early Life
"Well, at the time, you just arrived at our home. You treated everyone like enemies; you didn't even look at me. At the time, I didn't know why you were like that. But now I know why. When you were suffering and had gotten into a political dispute..."

- Germaine Avadonia

Alexiel was born in EC 485 along with his twin sister, Riliane, as the heirs to the Lucifenian Royal Family. Growing up together with his twin, the young Alexiel often played with Riliane. Whenever they were in trouble, their mother, Queen Anne locked them in their room and they cried in each other's arms.

In EC 491, Alexiel conceived the idea of escaping through a hidden passage past the fireplace in their room. He told Riliane about his plan, saying that it was their secret. The twins then escaped, Riliane leading them along the way, and they passed through the Forest of Bewilderment before arriving at the shore of Lucifenia's coast.

Over time, they escaped more and more often to play at the beach. During one of their visits, Alexiel treated his crying sister's wound after she fell and cut herself. Later, the young prince heard Riliane call to him after she dug up a small, black box in the sand. Excited by what they uncovered, they opened it but were disappointed to only find a small mirror inside. A demon then manifested around them and the scared Riliane held tight to Alexiel.

As it gawked at them, Riliane began to walk away from the creature while the prince held out his hand in friendship to the demon. The demon hesitated to grab his hand and flew past him to go after Riliane. Worried, Alexiel ran to his sister and reached out to her before being rendered unconscious. Waking up next to his twin during twilight, he got up to look around when he heard Riliane say she was hungry. Smiling, he picked her up and, burying the box they found, the twins returned home.

During their three o'clock snack time another day, the demon appeared to both twins and asked to have their meals. When Riliane refused to share her snack, the demon explained how even if she ate the whole world, she would still be hungry.

Pitying the creature, Alexiel shared his snack with her. The demon then thanked the prince's kind gesture. As a reward, she told him that if someone wrote down their wish, put it in a bottle, and placed it in the ocean, it would come true.

While playing at the beach again, Alexiel wanted to go home because it was getting dark, but Riliane told him to not be afraid and just hold her hand. When he did so, he felt at ease and told her about the secret of the ocean he learned. Riliane then told him she wished she could be a horse in the next life and explained to her perplexed brother how she wanted to be able to run freely with him anywhere since the palace was boring.

Sometime after, Riliane began treating Alexiel coldly as the struggle over who would succeed their deceased father continued. Later, Leonhart Avadonia, the captain of the royal guard, was assigned to protect him. An assassination attempt was made on Allen's life but Leonhart foiled it. Afterwards, Alexiel confronted his mother and asked to be adopted by the swordsman to end the unnecessary conflict and avoid becoming like his selfish sister. Anne agreed to her son's wishes and pronounced "Alexiel" dead to the public.

Adopting the name Allen, the former prince lived with Leonhart and was introduced to his new sister, Germaine. When Germaine offered to be his friend, Allen did not answer, refusing to look at or speak to his new foster sister.

A few days later, in EC 492, Chartette Langley had gone missing. When Germaine ran off after her, convinced she was kidnapped by the bandits headquartered in the Forest of Bewilderment, Allen followed along to help her. After the girl was captured by some of the bandits along the way, he rescued her and the two continued along the path.

During the journey through the forest, he began speaking with his new sister for the first time, and they shared their thoughts and feelings with one another. Once they reached the bandits' hideout, they were confronted by one of the thieves and the two raised their blades to combat him. During the encounter, they discovered Chartette was safe and that the bandit had already been convinced to reform by her. On their way back to town, the shocked Allen became frustrated over the event and was laughed at by the two girls. After crying a little, he laughed alongside them and they reached home.

Afterward, Leonhart scolded the two and struck Allen, furious that they did something so dangerous. Germaine was praised by everyone for the rescue while the prince avoided the attention, letting his foster sibling take all the credit. Growing close to his foster father and sister, the three spent a great deal of time together and Allen often accompanied his sister to the smithy owned by Chartette's father when Leonhart's weapons or armor needed repairs. As time progressed, Leonhart began taking Allen to the royal palace to practice fencing, training him in the art of swordplay.

Return to the Palace
"Leonhart, that unfamiliar person with you, who is he?" "—He is working at the palace starting today. His name is Allen." "Interesting... He looks just like me!"

- Riliane and Leonhart

In January of EC 499, at the age of thirteen, Allen attended Queen Anne's funeral, disguised in a cloak, and watched from afar as his sister sobbed over their mother's casket. Around that time, Leonhart shared his idea to have the boy return to the royal palace as a servant as a way to reunite him with his sister, explaining that the Princess refused to let any of the royal guards near her. The boy agreed to the arrangement.

Later on at home, Leonhart announced his plan to send Allen back to the palace the next morning, explaining that the Princess refused to let any of the royal guards near her. Since she lost her memories of Alexiel, Allen promised to kept his identity incognito and left with his foster father the next day.

At the palace, Allen spotted his twin as she approached to ask who he was. The Princess then excitedly noted their resemblance, surprising the boy. Before Riliane could pull him away to begin serving her, Leonhart insisted the head maid, Mariam Futapie, dress him up first and she complied. Once she left, the Commander told him she was his sister and Allen expressed his happiness to see her smiling. Later, the two waited for Ney to get Mariam and, once the head maid inspected the boy, he was dressed in his uniform and sent to serve the Princess.

Soon after, Riliane decided to play a game and had Allen run from her while she attempted to chase him down and put one of her hair accessories on him. Losing once, the servant was forced to wear her bow and then Riliane had them play again. While running through the halls, Riliane demanded he stop or she'd have him beheaded. After tackling him, the triumphant Princess began putting on another bow while she spoke with the surprised Mariam, showing her and Elluka Clockworker her two wins. After Riliane asserted she'd behead anyone as she pleased, she took Allen away.

Reign of Evil
"Looks like being a servant is pretty tough, Allen."

- Leonhart

Over the next year, Allen worked as Riliane's attendant, cleaning the interior of the palace and serving the princess' needs; as part of his duties, Allen provided the Princess with her midafternoon snack at three o'clock each day. Realizing his sister didn't remember him, Allen continued working as her servant while hiding his true identity. At some point, Allen began keeping ointment made by Elluka on his person in case of an emergency.

Troubling Times
On Riliane's fourteenth birthday nearly a year later, Allen was called upon by Mariam to help Chartette clean the courtyard, told to assure it was clean for the foreign royals attending the celebration. Believing he wouldn't finish in time to serve Riliane her snack, Allen passed on the job to Ney then started helping Chartette with cleaning the palace's Heavenly Yard along with six other servants for three hours.

At the sound of the Levin cathedral bells, signaling three o'clock, Allen noted it was time for Riliane's snack. The servant continued to clean when Chartette screamed and he flinched, listening to the maid whine and ask if they could finally stop. He reminded her they had been told to make the area spotless for all the foreign royal families and Chartette insisted no one would notice at night. Once he noted how, being Riliane's birthday, even Mariam was more on edge than usual and that shoddy work would be bad, Chartette gave in and said she'd clean by the fountain; Allen gave her his regards and continued working.

As he contemplated his situation due to Chartette's incompetence, the maid panicked at Allen that something bad happened and the servant questioned if she had broken another fountain. At Chartette's chide she only ever slightly "cracked" one, Allen gave her a silent stare before being reminded to serve Riliane's three o'clock snack. Allen then explained his switch with Ney when Leonhart greeted the two.

The soldier then ruffled up his hair while noting his trouble being a servant and the boy brushed off his parent's hand, stating the Captain of the Royal Guard's work was harder. Leonhart told Allen he could call him "Daddy" and the servant bluntly replied that he was used to referring to him formally.

When asked how he was doing after a year of being a menial, Allen brushed it off, curious about Germaine. Told she got in a fight, he asked if she won and Leonhart admitted she pummeled them. Hearing Leonhart admit to Chartette he was resisting alcohol, the servant was surprised and listened as they lamented over the famine plaguing the citizens.

Allen then questioned if it was because of the Princess' recently poor mood, Leonhart shrugged and explained how she refused his pleas to share the palace's food stores with the people. The boy then noted that it was because of her love for snacks and the warrior brushed it off as her inability to recognize the value of her luxuries. Changing the subject, Leonhart asked if Riliane was out at the moment and Allen doubted she'd do such a thing on her birthday.

The warrior elaborated on how he saw Josephine wasn't in her stable and the servant questioned if the horse was stolen; when Leonhart denied that could happen with their security, Allen considered the possibility they were focusing too much on trespassers and not fugitives when they heard Ney shout for Riliane from within the palace.

The three rushed inside, and Allen, after composing himself, asked the golden-haired maid what was wrong and she revealed the Princess was missing. Following the maid to Riliane's room, she showed them the opened secret passage behind the fireplace and explained what happened. He then stared at the passage, remembering how he had shown it to her as kids while everyone frantically searched for the Princess.

Search for the Princess
After Leonhart tracked Riliane to the Forest of Bewilderment, Allen joined the search party in finding her. Told not to stray too far, the servant reminded Leonhart of his previous visit to the forest. Soon after during their search, he asked if his foster father was certain she went through the woods and Leonhart responded that Josephine's tracks ended there. Ney then ran up and asked if Allen had found her and he replied that they hadn't, comforting the dejected maid.

When Leonhart mentioned the secret passage, Allen again recalled the time he snuck out with Riliane and remembered the coast they used to visit. He told the Captain of the Royal Guard he was going on ahead, nodding when Leonhart asked if he an idea where Riliane was. Rushing through the forest, he contemplated the unlikely chance she still remembered him, though hopeful she had still gone to the same coast.

Once he arrived at the coastline, he found Riliane sitting on the beach beside Josephine, and the servant sighed with relief as he called out to her. After Riliane noticed him, Allen explained how Leonhart was worried about her. Riliane then had a tantrum, startling the servant, and she lamented how he ruined her plan to get Leonhart executed; Allen apologized.

As they were about to leave, the servant noticed she had a scratch on her hand and attempted to apply Elluka's ointment to it. Surprised, Riliane slapped him; Allen ignored it and mentioned her injury and, with Riliane's compliance, continued applying the ointment. Allen became lost in his thoughts of the past when Riliane remarked that he was still holding her hand. Embarrassed, he quickly let go and apologized again, prompting Riliane to laugh at how she finally made him fluster and he made another weak apology.

As they prepared to leave, he suggested they head for the port town since it was faster, and reminded the embarrassed Riliane to not forget Josephine as she ran ahead. Instructing her to summon the royal guard at the nearby port town to take her back, Allen said he'd follow behind on foot, lying about his ability to ride a horse. Encouraging them to head there together, the two began to embark when Riliane remarked how the sun was always alone, like her, grabbing the servant's attention and curiosity.

After they arrived at the town, they signaled for the royal guard and awaited their arrival. Once the search party arrived, the furious Leonhart pushed Allen aside and lectured the Princess for her carelessness; Riliane coldly retorted to everyone that it was their responsibility to assure her safety. At the Princess' command, Allen knelt along with the rest of the search party to show her their loyalty.

Their Fourteenth Birthday
"There seems to be something on your mind. Princess Riliane, perhaps? Even though you are of different genders, you share the same face, so why are your circumstances in life so completely different?"

- Mariam's deduction of Allen's thoughts

That night, Allen continued to help during the party held in the Hall of Mirrors, although exhausted. Closing the door with Chartette, the two tired servants reveled in their duties finally settling down, having served all the dishes and wines perfectly. After Chartette left for the kitchen, the servant drifted in his own thoughts when the passing Mariam asked if he was feeling tired, suggesting he head to his quarters and rest for a while before it was time to clean up.

Once Mariam parroted his thoughts about how the twins shared the same face but had such different lives, the shocked Allen questioned if she was a psychic but she denied the notion. The servant then asked if his resemblance to Riliane would become a problem and Mariam revealed how Elluka convinced everyone that it was a mere coincidence, pointing out that Riliane was unlikely to remember who he was.

He returned to work shortly after, relieved to see his sister in such a good mood. As he brought the food into the mirrored hall, the boy spotted his foster father guarding the entrance. When Prime Minister Minis began his speaking to the crowd, Ney ran by and told Allen they still had work to do, grabbing his hand and taking him to Riliane's gigantic birthday cake.

Together with numerous other servants, they began moving the birthday snack into the hall for the guests to see. Overhearing his father's anger at the sight, Allen went after the furious Leonhart while he headed down the stairs, reminding him about his guard duty.

The warrior said he was going around outside, saying Riliane was definitely "The Daughter of Evil" and Allen stared in shock as he left. Suddenly noticing Mariam was beside him, the servant listened to her words that both she and Leonhart were aware Riliane's commands were absolute, despite agreeing that she was awful. Allen expressed his concern to her and the maid told him to remain by the Princess' side, stating that evaluating the nation was the adults' responsibility; Allen agreed.

Dark Secrets
"You must not tell anyone about this. This is a secret between the two of us."

- Riliane to Allen

Sometime after, Allen and another servant, Asan, responsible for cleaning the Hall of Sounds for the day, entered after the meeting concerning a politician's fate was decided. While cleaning the expensive decorations, Allen watched Riliane return, seething and yelling for Minis. As she yelled at the minister regarding her lunch, Allen worried for Asan since he had made the meal.

He then noticed the servant's suspicious appearance before seeing he held the Princess' missing knife. When the servant suddenly attacked the princess, Allen instantly hit him to protect his sister. Using the blunt sword he was cleaning, Allen disarmed Asan followed by striking him before he could grab one of the decorative pikes; having thwarted the assassination attempt, Allen watched as the guards seized him and learned Asan was sent to the guillotine the next day.

Three days since the incident, Allen was helping Ney prepare dinner when Riliane stormed into the kitchen demanding to know who was stealing food from the palace. Watching the incident play, Allen saw Ney and the nearby chef struggle with explaining what they saw with Riliane; seeing the Princess grow furious, Allen watched as Ney admitted she had seen Leonhart stealing the provisions.

After dinner, Allen was ordered by Riliane to meet her in her room. She congratulated the servant and complimented his swordplay; Allen told her he was taught by his father since he was young, neglecting to mention his father was Leonhart. Because of his skills, Riliane entrusted him with a message she suddenly wrote and put in a bottle: Assassinate Leonhart. Shocked by what he read, Allen paused and then asked why she told him in such an odd manner.

Riliane then responded that someone told her about it when she was young, though not remembering that that person was Allen. Hearing her reasons for wanting to kill the warrior, much of it being Ney's gossip, Allen remained skeptical he could defeat Leonhart and Riliane replied that she had a plan to counter this. After hearing her scheme to poison him first, Allen was told that it was their secret, reminded again of their childhood, and said he'd retired for the night.

By the afternoon the next day, Allen still remained conflicted. As he resolved to refuse his sister's awful wish, Ney entered the Servant Room to take a break and told Allen that she wished to speak about Leonhart. Allen brushed off her potential guilt over the situation but Ney stated she had overheard a conversation between Mariam and Leonhart about how Leonhart made him a servant so that he could eventually assassinate the Princess. Feeling cheated and used by his foster father, Allen left before Ney could finish, his mind made up.

As he searched for a proper poison, Allen was unable to find anything lethal and settled with a chronic anesthesia for Riliane's plot. Sometime before the incident, Ney told Allen about Queen Anne's crushes. Standing outside her room that night, the servant overheard his sister and Leonhart's exchange until the Princess convinced him to drink the drugged wine.

After his sister lent him a sword, Allen confronted Leonhart in the Heavenly Yard at three the next morning and noted he could easily be taken down in his drunken state; he then drew his sword and clarified that the warrior had to die. As he approached, he taunted the drunken warrior's ability to defend against him and then barely avoided the onslaught Leonhart unleashed.

Claiming their skill was equal, Allen entered his unicorn stance, knowing he'd see through his moves otherwise, and attacked but was swiftly countered. As their duel progressed, Allen was backed into a wall when Leonhart finally succumbed to the drugs and the boy noted how long he'd been resisting them. Admitting he had still feared losing to him despite the trump card, he prepared to deal the final blow when he saw a familiar hand mirror roll out of Leonhart's arms.

His foster father then explained it was his birthday present, a reproduction of the mirror Riliane owned so he could check his appearance. Allen then asked why his father wanted to kill his sister and ignored it when his foster father appeared to be playing dumb. Stabbing him through the chest, Allen killed the Captain of the Royal Guard.

Daughter of Green
"You met with her on the way here... huh? Your face is very red; do you take a fancy to her?"

- Keel Freesis noting Allen's affection for Michaela

After both Elphegort and Marlon provided aid to relieve the citizen's starvation, Allen was assigned as the envoy to Elphegort's contributor, Keel Freesis. Given the honoraria to show Lucifenia's gratitude, the servant was instructed by Minis to be polite and offer the maids there a chance to work at the palace. On the morning of his trip, Allen was preparing for the journey when Gumillia entered the Servant Room. After greeting her, the two stared in abrupt silence until the mage apprentice criticized him for not using honorifics, since she was older than him.

After the servant apologized, she told him to give something to her friend in Elphegort, pulling out a green onion. Surprised by the odd request, Gumillia clarified how it was a "very amazing" green onion and, after another awkward silence, Allen asked who she was. The mage explained she had beautiful green hair before they heard Elluka calling for her. The mage suddenly left and, when Allen tried to get more information, said her friend's name was Michaela.

Departing for Aceid soon after, Allen began feeling nauseous six hours into the bumpy trip when the carriage finally reached the city's Southern District. Thinking how the Forest of Bewilderment was what extended his trip, he mused how much he'd love to burn it down. Realizing he revealed a malicious smile, he took a deep breath and looked out the window instead, recalling the poor timing between his father's murder and the foreign aid. As he began considering the reasons for Elphegort's aid, Allen shook off the thought and admired the green-haired Elphes in the market instead, worried he wouldn't be able to fulfill Gumillia's favor.

Once they reached the Central District, the uncomfortable servant asked the driver to stop and got out of the carriage. The driver gave Allen some medicine to cure his nausea, telling him he often had passengers suffer motion sickness. Seeing a crowd in the streets, Allen approached them, hearing a beautiful singing voice, and saw the beautiful green-haired maiden at the center of the group. Reminded of his mother's warm smile when she sang him a lullaby as a child, Allen instantly fell in love with the girl.

Once she finished singing, the crowds cheered and the servant overheard them call her Michaela. Allen went up and asked her if she knew Gumillia and the beautiful girl asked if he was her friend. After the servant clarified their relationship and that the mage apprentice was doing well, he gave her the green onion. Glad to see the "very amazing" green onion, the servant questioned if it was really that amazing and Michaela insisted it was.

After introducing himself, Michaela thanked Allen and the servant decided he needed to leave. Michaela stopped him and asked if he could follow her, explaining how she was living at Keel's mansion. Returning to the carriage with Michaela, the two took a shortcut to the Northern District, chatting about how he learned her name and Gumillia's progress at the royal palace. The servant then questioned what exactly the gift he gave her was and she laughed it off as simply something amazing.

As they entered the district, the servant asked why she was singing there and the green-haired maiden said she wanted to cheer up an orphan. Allen noted her talent and, when Michaela said she didn't often sing in front of crowds, he questioned why and was reprimanded for his rudeness. The servant apologized and said he should use honorifics but Michaela brushed it off, since their age difference was only two years. Allen politely accepted before quickly correcting his formal manner. Michaela then mentioned how her friend Clarith was discriminated against in the town but that Keel had taken both of them in.

Allen described his job at the royal palace, noting Riliane's capricious aura and Chartette's everyday clumsiness. When Michaela asked if he adored the Princess, Allen questioned how he should word it, proclaiming his desire to protect Riliane even if it sounded a bit arrogant for a servant to say. He then changed the topic, bring up how the shell necklace she wore suited her and the green-haired maid claimed it was a gift. Michaela then pointed out that she could already see the mansion and Allen regretted not being able to talk with her for much longer.

Meeting the Merchant
"I want to know the real inside story of Lucifenia. Asking the ministers is useless since, as long as it's in front of other countries' nationals, they'll only praise the royal family. I want someone who is directly connected to the royal family but not involved in politics and just state the ordinary person's real views."

- Keel

Once they arrived at the estate, Michaela introduced the servant to Keel's butler, Bruno, and was told to wait in another room while the merchant finishing discussing matters with another guest. After Michaela said goodbye to him, he bowed and went into the other room. While looking through the mansion's luxurious decor, Allen spotted Michaela and Clarith cleaning clothes outside.

A purple-haired man then interceded and told Allen that he was surprised to see any of the Netsuma Clan still alive. Intrigued by the sword the man wore on his waist, the servant noted its unique shape and was then asked about the boy's occupation. Allen introduced himself and the man inquired if he'd heard of the Lucifenian Resistance; the menial denied it, noting there hadn't been any major wars for years.

The man then introduced himself as the famed Gast Venom and that he and his mercenaries were available if the monarchy ever needed them. Allen promised to pass on the word and Gast thanked him; the warrior then stared into his eyes and asked if he killed a man. Shocked, Allen questioned what he meant when Bruno entered to invite the servant to meet with Keel. Taking the opportunity to distance himself from Gast, Allen apologized to the mercenary and said they'd talk later at the next opportunity.

In the next room, Allen offered the gift pen and paper to the merchant and Keel gladly accepted them, recognizing the quality. Allen said they were aware he was fond of such items and the merchant clarified that his eldest daughter was the one who loved them. Impressed that a nine-year-old had such a love for books, the servant remarked that she must have been smart.

Keel then noted his earlier encounter with Gast and Allen questioned if they were old acquaintances. The merchant elaborated that he'd just met the mercenary and showed him the Venom Sword that Gast wanted to buy. Explaining it was apparently his family's heirloom but that the mercenary gave up on buying it due to the high price Keel put on the weapon. At the mention of his business philosophy, Allen inquired if he supported Lucifenia for economical reasons; Keel agreed and added that it was also because King Kyle asked him to do so, saying it was logical to do so given the impending marriage between him and Riliane.

The merchant then suddenly brought up that money wasn't infinite, hence why he called upon him, and Allen realized Keel's alternative intentions. The merchant calmed him, claiming he wanted to know about the actual state of affairs in Lucifenia from the words of an ordinary person at the palace. Allen answered Keel's questions appropriately. When Keel expressed his surprise at how sever Riliane's rule was, the menial mentioned how things have improved due to the food relief and the Princess' impending marriage.

Michaela then entered and offered them brioche and tea. At Keel's suggestion, Allen took tasted it and complimented the cooking, hoping to ask Clarith for some tips. As the green-haired maid left, their eyes met and he smiled. Keel commented about the boy's obvious feelings for her and told the servant she was very sought after, explaining how many proposed to her but she continually refused.

When Keel noticed dusk was approaching he thanked Allen for his visit. The servant asked if he was any help to him and the merchant affirmed he did him an enormous favor. As Allen was about to leave, he joined Michaela and his driver in a few jokes before departing for Lucifenia. Hearing Michaela as she waved goodbye, Allen poked his body out the carriage window and returned the farewell, hoping to see her again.

The next day, Allen reported about Keel and Gast to Riliane and the other ministers. As the ministers deliberated Keel's interest in the government affairs, Elluka summed up their thoughts and praised Allen for his work. When the servant was about to step down, Riliane asked him what the day's snack and he answered he would serve her brioche.

During Minis' report regarding his trip to Marlon, Allen saw the minister reveal the peculiar gift octopus for Elluka; overhearing her call it a "very amazing octopus", Allen asked what made it amazing but the court mage answered that everything about it was amazing. Afterward, he watched Riliane become furious that Kyle had withdrawn his engagement to her, falling in love with a woman with green hair.

Green Hunting
"The Daughter of Green... is named Michaela, right? It’s the first time I've heard of her. Allen... what a pity, I never expected you would betray me."

- Riliane before ordering Michaela's murder

A week later, Allen was cleaning Riliane's room when Mariam returned to report her failures to uncover the green-haired girl's identity. When the Head of Maids commented that it was like someone was disrupting their information gathering, Allen recalled Keel's words about success through controlling information. He then watched as Riliane had a tantrum and ordered Minis to kill every woman in Elphegort with green hair.

Shocked, Allen remained speechless as Elluka objected and resigned; as the sorceress left with Mariam pursuing her, Riliane demanded Allen go and kill her. Although hesitating, Allen gave up in trying to persuade her and left the room. Soon after, he discovered Elluka and Mariam conversing when the mage spotted him, revealing that Lucifenia would soon perish.

Again speechless, Allen listened when Elluka asked what he would do and stated he would protect both the country and Riliane. Told to take good care of his sister, the sorceress said her parting words to Mariam and left. The servant returned to Riliane's now empty room and began picking up the accessories from Kyle that Riliane threw on the floor. Recognizing a shell necklace identical to Michaela's among Kyle's gifts, Allen realized she was the King's lover.

During the Green Hunting, Allen visited Keel in the palace dungeon and asked if Michaela was Kyle's sweetheart. Once the servant affirmed he was the only one who knew, Keel admitted that it was Kyle's one-sided love. After checking if anyone else was around, Allen asked if Michaela was alright and if the merchant knew where she was. While Keel rambled over his conflicted feelings, Allen understood his desire to protect someone regardless of ethics.

When asked if he too had something he'd sacrifice everything to protect, Allen thought of Riliane then Michaela. As Keel declared he'd give him the choice of what to do with Michaela, Allen noticed something and turned around. Seeing no one, he ignored it and the merchant explained how Kyle was planning to arrive within the week to save Michaela and told Allen about her hiding place.

Later that day, Allen traveled to the Millennium Tree Forest and went down the old well there, finding Michaela in a basement at the bottom. Asking if she was alright, he told her about what had happened at the palace and with Keel. Michaela then explained how she had fled with Clarith from Keel's home to the well before being separated.

Allen apologized and Michaela said he didn't have to, since it was Lucifenia's aristocrats that caused the war. Unable to kill her, Allen realized he was in love with her. Noting how dangerous things had become, he said he'd take her to a safe place but Michaela pleaded to remain where she was. Accepting her wishes, the servant said he'd be back and prepared to exit. Before closing the door, he attempted to confess his feelings to her but told her to forget about it and left.

When he returned to the palace, Allen found Ney and Riliane speaking in the Servant Room and asked what the Princess was doing there. Ney quickly left and Riliane angrily told Allen to sit down. Complying, she asked where he'd been and the servant stated he went out to buy green onions since they ran out of them. Asked if they were still alive, the nervous servant expressed his confusion and Riliane revealed she was aware he had gone to see "The Daughter of Green". Promising to give him another chance, Riliane gave him a new order in a bottle and demanded he look at it.

Commanded to kill Michaela, Allen left the room and saw Ney apologizing to him for not keeping quiet. He brushed it off, understanding the situation. When the maid inquired if he was going to follow through with his orders, Allen expressed his uncertainty and left. Conflicted over what to do, Allen failed to sleep throughout the entire night. The next night, Allen made his decision and returned to the well, only to find Michaela already stabbed and dying at the bottom.

The sobbing boy, asking why this had happened, grabbed her hand and stated he had wanted to abandon it all and flee with her while confessing to her how, despite only seeing her twice, he was utterly in love with her. As she died, Allen let out a wailing scream. Afterward, he returned to the palace to confirm her death, describing her characteristics as proof of his deed. The crying servant then returned to Keel in prison and told him that someone else had already killed MIchaela when he visited the well.

Continued Service
"I always felt I was alone. But Allen, you... are the last one by my side. Even now, you did everything for me."

- Riliane

As the war with Elphegort continued, Allen watched Riliane, Ney, and Chartette spend time together in the Heavenly Yard, seeing his cruel sister's innocent smile. At the sound of the Levin church bells signaling snack time, Allen presented the treats on the table, stating she was having brioche for the day. Following the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Minis, Allen, Chartette, and Ney listened in on the meeting in the Hall of Sounds from the adjacent corridor. As the two maids began to bicker, Allen told them to be quiet and listened to the ministers agree to hire the Venom Mercenaries to make up for the shortage of troops.

Later on, Allen accompanied Riliane in the Hall of Mirrors as Gast Venom introduced himself to her. After they were done conversing, Riliane told Allen to give Gast a tour of the palace. Catching the mercenary staring at Riliane, Allen said he'd be beheaded if he didn't watch his words. The warrior apologized and Allen led him through the palace. He eventually showed Gast his room, he apologized for the cramped quarters and stated the other mercenaries chose to stay in the city rather than live with him in the palace.

Gast then noted Allen's resemblance to Riliane, questioning if they were siblings, and the servant brushed it off as a common mistake and mentioned Elluka's saying that everyone had three look-alikes in the world. Once the mercenary asked if he could eat, Allen headed towards the kitchen when Mariam stopped him, delivering Gast's meal to him. He then watched as Gast and Mariam tensely talked over the past. As she prepared to leave, Mariam told Allen to take care of him for her.

Later, at the Training Grounds, Allen watched Gast defeat a group of soldiers who criticized the presence of mercenaries in the city. Sometime after, Allen presented Riliane her afternoon snack in the Heavenly Yard. While watching the early sunset, Allen heard Riliane comment that the sky foretold an apocalypse and he recalled Elluka's prophecy and her statements that the "gears" couldn't be changed. Questioning to himself if that meant Lucifenia's destruction was inevitable, he affirmed his desire to protect his lonely sister before wondering if the lonely one was actually him.

Lucifenian Revolution
"You, for your sister, The Daughter of Evil, also sold your soul to the Demon of Asmodean? You guys are downright evil. Yet, in my opinion, the revolution was caused by the princess herself! Ha ha ha!" "Yes, I am an evil person. Maybe. The royal palace is overrun; it can also be said it is retribution from God. However, even if this is retribution, I will not let it happen!"

- Gast Venom and Allen

At the start of the Lucifenian Revolution, Allen eavesdropped on the chaotic war conference when Minis spotted him. Chastized for listening in on the ministers, Allen apologized and asked about his well-being. Ignored, Allen saw Minis storm into the Hall of Sounds and bring order to the assembly. As the Prime Minister instructed them on their countermeasures, Minis glanced at Allen and ignored him again.

Soon after, the apathetic Riliane asked Allen what the day's snack would be. A week later, Allen attended another war meeting with Riliane. Hearing the distant bells, the servant began announcing the day's snack when the Princess interrupted him, stating she didn't have an appetite. As the Lucifenian army continued to suffer defeats, Allen saw the growing panic among everyone present at each meeting.

During the invasion of the palace, Mariam and Allen were in the Servant Room and the head maid urged him to flee. Allen reaffirmed he would protect his sister and asked what she intended to do. Mariam stated she'd test herself fighting them. Saying her farewell to the Prince, she expressed her wish to see each other again if they were both still alive. Once she left, Allen questioned if his mother, like Mariam, was a harsh yet gentle person.

At that moment, Gast entered and stated they lost and came to say farewell. Asking if he intended to flee, Gast admitted he had no obligation to the country, telling the servant to let Riliane know he didn't need the money anymore. Allen quickly grabbed his salary bag and stated he'd hire him again to continue protecting Riliane til the end. Refusing the offer, Gast questioned why he was going so far to protect her and Allen revealed she was his twin.

After staring in silence at one another, Gast suddenly laughed at his plight, calling both of the twins evil for selling their souls to the Demon of Asmodean after Riliane was the cause of the revolution. Allen responded that he was right and their situation was possibly God's retribution, but that he still wouldn't let that happen. Changing his mind, Gast accepted the money and said goodbye to "The Servant of Evil". As he left, Gast told Allen that they were the same: evil.

Afterward, Allen ran through the corridors during the fighting to Riliane's room; he then presented the Princess with her snack. While she ate it, the servant asked about the taste and Riliane said it was too sweet, wanting something like brioche. The trembling Princess then asked if she would be killed and Allen said he wasn't sure.

As she broke down in fear, she weakly asked Allen to hold her hand and he did so with both arms. Riliane then confessed how she wanted to be like her mother but was left alone and abandoned by everyone except Allen, thanking him for remaining with her. Squeezing her hand, Allen asked if she could grant him one wish in turn.

Riliane complied and he had them swap clothes and hairstyles. While Riliane teased him about the dress he wore, Allen said she should be able to escape while wearing his attire, telling her to take her room's secret passage to Josephine and flee to where the revolutionary army couldn't find her. Riliane retorted that they would simply send search parties after her and Allen replied that it didn't matter since the "Princess" was still in the Palace, circling around with his skirt.

Riliane refused to go along with his plan, saying he'd eventually be exposed and Allen hugged her, saying it didn't matter since none of them knew they were twins. Hearing Riliane's surprise, he revealed he had always known. As the sobbing Princess asked why he was doing this if he would be killed, Allen replied that she was evil and therefore her evil blood flowed through his veins, meaning he would take her place while she lived on.

Telling her not to cry, Allen mused how it didn't matter since she was no longer The Daughter of Evil. Releasing their embrace, he left and locked the door, telling Riliane how they used to hug each other and cry when their mother locked them in that room for punishment. As Riliane begged him not to go, he said goodbye and went down the hall, reminding himself that he, "The Daughter of Evil", shouldn't cry.

Veins of Evil
"Oh, it's snack time!"

- Allen's last words

Acting as Riliane, Allen was captured in the Hall of Sounds and struggled against his captors, haughtily cursing them. Imprisoned in the dungeon, Allen later awoke and remembered the situation he was in, trembling in the darkness. Continuing his act as Riliane, he began making a fuss about getting out of prison from his cell. At some point, King Kyle visited him and recognized that he wasn't Riliane, though stating he'd still go forward with executing him to keep the peace. During the visit, Allen said he was the one who killed Michaela and the furious king of Marlon repeatedly punched him in the face before leaving.

Several days since his capture, Allen believed he heard children singing; reminded of Michaela, he began singing to forget his anxiety until an annoyed guard smacked him. He then heard someone ask to meet with the Princess alone and calmed down. After introduced herself as the revolutionary army's leader, Germaine Avadonia, and had come to announce the Princess' execution date, Allen laughed uncontrollably at the cruel irony. Walking up to the iron bars to make sure it was her, Allen continued his deception, telling her to leave since he was tired.

As he retreated back to the back of the cell, Germaine told him to wait and, despite realizing she recognized him, he kept playing along until he saw tears in her eyes, greeting his foster sister again and telling her everything about his identity as Prince Alexiel and how he ended up masquerading as Riliane. Hearing the whole story, Germaine told Allen he could be freed since he was only a servant, not the princess. Noting that she was still the same, he asked how the revolutionary leader could be so emotional about the situation and she countered how he was still sarcastic and unlikable as always.

Remarking that she said the same thing to him as kids, Germaine clarified how she now knew why he was so hostile to everyone when they first met, though slightly changing a few days later. Allen denied changing and Germaine reminded him of their adventure through the Forest of Bewilderment to save Chartette. Stating his freedom was impossible, he revealed what occurred during Kyle's earlier visit and warned her to be wary of him, musing about how distressing Marlon's prospects were as if he was really the Princess.

After a moment of silence, Germaine left and returned with the keys to the cell, telling him they had to escape together. Allen reminded her that she was the leader of the revolutionary army but his foster sister cast the notion aside and said he, Chartette, and her could live together like they used to even though their father was gone. Knowing her wish was impossible, Allen asked if she was wearing Leonhart's armor.

Germaine stated Chartette's father had re-sized it to fit her and he complimented the blacksmith's impressive changes to it, asking if the damage to the shoulder was repaired. When Germaine became confused, Allen questioned who she thought was their father's murderer and, once she answered "The Daughter of Evil", he asked if she actually thought Riliane was capable of killing him.

Given her silence, Allen realized her reasons for starting the revolution and laughed at how she started the revolution just to get revenge on the Princess, killing or injuring countless people in the name of justice; comparing her to Riliane in their desire to control others, Allen said she was The Daughter of Evil too. Despite Germaine's pleas not to say it, Allen said he'd assist her in her vengeance, stating it didn't matter that Riliane escaped since their father's murderer was standing before her.

Two days later in Milanais Square, Allen watched as mobs screamed and criticized him, believing he was his twin. With his head and arms fixed on the scaffold, the terrified Allen thought how he didn't want to die when he heard a mysterious song and began hallucinating Riliane sitting beside him, holding his hand. Witnessing an illusion of the time he told her the legend of the sea, Allen hoped Riliane would be a horse in her next life and calmed down as he held her hand.

When the executioner asked if he had any last words, Allen heard the bell toll for three o'clock. Asked again if he wanted to make any last wishes to god, Allen decided to keep up the ruse to the very end and answered "Oh, it's snack time," before the guillotine blade fell; bidding Riliane farewell in his mind, he hoped to play together with Riliane again in the next life.

After Death
"Why is "he" there?" "Didn't I say it before? This is the place where everyone will return to." "That's true. But "he" seems to be treated differently from the others." "That boy is "irregular"."

- Held and Sickle regarding Allen

Following his demise, Allen's spirit went to the Heavenly Yard and met the ruling god in the heavenly world's rice fields. There, the god Sickle answered all his questions about where he was and what had happened since his death. Seeing the faraway Champs-Élysées bustling with souls, Allen asked if he could see his family and friends there and Sickle forbid it.

The creator god then tasked Allen with learning about all of the Third Period's history from the Black Box device in order to understand the mechanisms of the world. The former servant listened as the god explained the complex mechanics behind the magic tool, understanding none of it. Afterward, he was placed inside Black Box and left in the fields of the Heavenly Yard. Locked inside the dark device, Allen experienced the history of the ground world, learning about the events of its past and present over time.

Intervention
"You won't be able to write the continuation of the story." "The story? What story?" "The "story" of Germaine and Riliane, and yourself as well." "Kyle also said that. That my role is to tell the story." "Yes. For that, you must live."

- Allen and Yukina during their mental conversation

Over the years, Allen oversaw the journey of Germaine, the novelist Yukina Freesis, and others as they investigated the conspiracy behind The Daughter of Evil's terrible reign. As Clarith prepared to murder Riliane on the coast by the Held Monastary in EC 505, Allen asked Sickle to let him protect his sister and the god complied. Once the sun god taught him how to use Black Box's transfer ability, the boy apparated at the Lucifenian coastline and grabbed Clarith's arm, preventing her from stabbing Riliane.

While they struggled, Allen maintained a somber expression towards the furious Netsuma until she realized she was tricked by the Demon of Wrath. Once Clarith was freed of the demon's influence, Allen returned to the Heavenly Yard and Black Box to continue his studies. Later that year, he watched the confrontation between Abyss I.R. and Germaine and Yukina. When Abyss was about to incinerate Yukina with the Marlon Spoon, Allen once again made his whims known to Sickle and the god permitted him to interfere in the world once more, using Black Box to apparate at the coast again.

While seeing Riliane prepare to sneak up on Abyss, Allen linked his thoughts to Yukina. Overhearing the girl mentally give up after learning the terrible truth about her mother, the boy noted that was troubling and explained that she was choosing to die at her own convenience. As the girl warded him away, he pointed out she wouldn't be able to write the continuation of the story of Germaine, Riliane, and herself otherwise. After Yukina recounted Kyle telling her something similar, Allen reiterated that she had to survive for that.

When the girl asked if he'd help her, Allen admitted he was powerless, being dead, and Yukina angrily chastised his uselessness. Chuckling, the boy apologized and noted she's desire his sister's help instead. Once Riliane had successfully distracted Abyss, freed Yukina, and gave Germaine an opening to attack, the mage's red cat body attempted to flee. Allen then manifest his spirit to support her injured body. Teasing his sister about her actually being able to stand, Germaine answered her "stupid brother" that she didn't need his commentary to know that before throwing her rapier.

After Germaine skewered Abyss I.R.'s true form, defeating her, Allen disappeared. At some point, a message in a bottle washed up ashore at the spirit's feet during twilight. Exhausted from his continual interference, Allen fell asleep in Black Box after he returned to the Heavenly Yard and slept for decades. Once he awoke, the boy returned to his studies. Some time later, Sickle told the bored child that his sense of time wouldn't feel so long and tedious soon.

Defying the End
"Have a conversation with the people of... history? But that would require an enormous amount of time." "There's no need to make contact with every soul. Just particularly important souls—Yes, I want you to contact those selected from among the people influenced by the Demons of Sin."

- Allen and Sickle

In EC 998, after witnessing Nemesis Sudou use the Punishment weapon to destroy the Third Period, Allen was immediately blinded by the light pouring in from the box as it was opened. Seeing Sickle ask how he was doing, Allen retorted that he seemed to be in an usually bad mood and the god asked if he really looked like that. Once the boy explained his eyes looked angry, questioning if he was indeed angry at the world's destruction, the sun god shook his head and insisted he wouldn't be angry at something like that.

Sickle then brushed the topic aside and said they should first get him out of Black Box. Allen complied and flew out of the box, seeing the surroundings of the Heavenly Yard. After noticing that Champs-Élysées was empty, Allen remarked that no one was there and Sickle affirmed that they were the only two left in the Heavenly Yard. When the child asked about what happened, Sickle explained that the souls had been pulled to the ground with the destruction of the Third Period and elimination of the boundary it created between worlds.

Allen then surmised the ground world had become part of Hellish Yard and Sickle compared their relationship to that of a magnet where they were pulled toward the more powerful force. When Sickle stared and told him it was now his turn, Allen surmised he wanted him to restore the fallen souls. Sickle admitted that was the end result before qualifying he first needed to prepare a bit more and tasked him to review history. The boy retorted he had already done so.

Sickle then interjected that he only knew the history as information and needed to contact the individual souls of those eras to understand them. After Allen responded that conversing would take an enormous amount of time, Sickle explained he only needed to contact particularly important souls, namely those influenced by the Demons of Sin. Realizing it was his chance to see Riliane again, Allen readily agreed to the task and the god teased how obedient he was suddenly being.

After god related that Held and Michaela were awaiting him and that he should contact them once he arrived in the ground world, Allen reacted to hearing his beloved's name. When the god questioned if it was unpleasant for him to see her, the boy explained he never said that, clarifying that it was just embarrassing. Sickle immediately pointed out that neither of them were normal humans anymore so it was too late to feel that way. Allen then admitted that the god was right.

Mentally questioning the legiticimy of Sickle's statment, given Michaela wasn't originally human to begin with, the boy thought about his past when she was human. He then looked over to the rice fields and became lost in thought, wondering how Michaela was feeling at the moment with the Millennium Tree Forest destroyed. Shortly after, Sickle spoke up and stated it wasn't a bad thing to think before saying that he wouldn't start anything if he didn't act, criticizing that the boy often only completed things in his head.

When Allen questioned if that was so, Sickle reiterated that it was, pointing out he only acted after it was already too late to avoid the situation. After reflecting on his past life, the boy then admitted he might've been right before announcing he'd go to see Michaela and Held. The god approved and asked if he still remembered how to use the box's transfer device and Allen responded that he did. The sun god declared the preparations were finished and that he should arrive at the forest once he pressed the box's switch. Allen then jumped back into the box and activated the transfer device.

Legacy
"However, it doesn't matter. What's important for Elluka is that she did not get the Four Mirrors vessel of sin. What's important for me is that he is no longer one of the gears."

- Ma speaking about Allen

Historically, Allen's sacrifice would never be mentioned and his sister was the one who officially died as a result of the Lucifenian Revolution. The history books noted him as the adopted son of Leonhart Avadonia who gained Riliane's favor as a servant and swiftly fled the Lucifenian Palace during the Revolution. He would often be portrayed as a disloyal and unfaithful person in Lucifenia's history.

However, Yukina Freesis wrote a novel about the true Story of Evil titled "Daughter of Evil" that had gained popularity around the world centuries later during the time of Gallerian Marlon. The judge was intrigued by the idea that the servant swapped places with his secret twin sister but remained skeptical of its accuracy to the actual events, despite Ma's guarantee that the novel was true.

Personality and Traits
"Riliane... You have been an evil girl... If you are an evil girl, then your evil blood also flows through me. If you are The Daughter of Evil, then I'm The Servant of Evil. So it doesn't matter. I will take your place here while you live on..."

- Allen

Allen was responsible, loyal, and kind. Since he was a child, the boy had a soft demeanor, unwilling to fight others even if they hit him. He was also very trusting, extending his arm as a kind gesture to a ghastly demon. During his childhood, he kept an especially close relationship to his sister, Riliane, and the two often spent time playing with one another. Of the two, Prince Alexiel was the more submissive twin, allowing Riliane to lead him along wherever they went.

Due to their close bond, he felt at ease when holding his sibling's hand and forgot about his fears or worries. He similarly shared many secrets with her, such as the legend of the sea the demon told him. However, due to the dispute over the right of succession, the Prince's relationship with his twin began to fray and he recognized her selfish attitude as a result of her royal upbringing. Hoping not to become like his sister and avoid further problems, the boy was completely willing to be separated from his family and live the life of a commoner.

Regardless, Allen continued to care for Riliane. Completely devoted to her as a servant, the young teenager felt overjoyed to see her smiling with happiness and was dedicated to relieving her of her loneliness. In spite of this, Allen still recognized Riliane as a selfish child and an awful ruler and, over time, considered many of her actions bordering insanity. Still, after assassinating Leonhart, Allen became determined to protect Riliane even if he had to become evil to do so.

However, although only meeting her a few times, Allen instantly fell in love with Michaela and was enthralled by her lovely appearance, beautiful smile, and wonderful singing voice; because of this, he grew conflicted between his duty to Riliane and adoration for Michaela, envisioning both of them as the two people he would do anything for. After Michaela's death, Allen returned to faithfully serving his sister, although hurt by her cruel demand to kill his beloved. Having become intimate with his twin, Allen became the only one allowed to continually accompany her by the end of her reign.

After the assassination attempt on his life and subsequent exile, Allen acted hostile towards everyone around him and was described as sarcastic and unlikable by his foster sister, Germaine, as a result. After Chartette Langley had been kidnapped by bandits, Allen began opening up to his new sister and supported her in finding their friend. He also respected Germaine's sense of justice and was similarly willing to fight, dagger in hand, to fight off the bandits and save Chartette.

As time progressed, Allen became close to Germaine and considered her to be his sister, although unable to admit that til the time of his death. Despite this, he was disgusted by her motivations behind the Lucifenian Revolution and considered her methods akin to Riliane's own, considering their desire to control people for revenge to be vile. After discovering her to be the revolutionary leader, Allen was amused by the irony and refused to let Germaine be dragged into his situation.

Like his sisters, Allen also shared a close relationship with Leonhart. Having been saved by him as a child, Allen respected him as one of the Three Heroes. Despite considering him to be his father, Allen continually addressed him formally, feeling he had no right to be associated with the man. Having been raised by the warrior, Allen initially refused to abide Riliane's command to assassinate him and was even willing to be beheaded for it.

However, after Ney lied that Leonhart was using him to kill Riliane, Allen felt betrayed by his foster father and changed his mind about murdering him. Still, after seeing the gift the man planned to give him, Allen questioned his father's reasoning for killing Riliane before ignoring his honest confusion as playing dumb. Regardless, Allen felt remorse over his death and began addressing him as his parent in passing. After learning Germaine's reasons behind the revolution, Allen took responsibility as their father's murderer and insisted on being executed for his crime.

Allen was a very proud individual, delighted when Michaela praised him and boasting to himself about his own abilities. While maintaining his identity as the Princess, Allen refused to let up the act to Germaine until bringing her to the brink of tears; he also was extremely confident in his ability to protect Riliane, although openly admitting that desire may have been arrogant. Conversely, Allen hated being teased, especially from Germaine, and detested feeling embarrassed or humiliated. He similarly did not take jokes about himself lightly, such as Michaela referring to him as simply a "foreign boy," and acted somewhat stiff towards others, though cracking a few jokes with Michaela.

Ironically, he often made dry or sarcastic remarks about what he heard, although usually keeping those thoughts to himself and never verbalizing them. However, when speaking to his sister or Chartette, Allen was very candor with his comments, contrasting his normally polite manner. Allen also spoke very casually with Michaela and enjoyed discussing his work with her, both its high points and low points, though he was exceptionally tolerant of her and anything she said that would normally bother him.

Although a righteous child with a sense of honor, Allen sometimes lapsed into more malicious behavior, particularly when he felt wronged or his morals overlapped At the same time, he was very self-conscious of this behavior, later realizing how he had distanced himself from everyone in his obsessive devotion to Riliane. Though originally learning fencing in order to only defend his sister, Allen eventually became willing to murder for her under certain circumstances, even considering killing King Kyle for making Riliane unhappy.

Due to the unique circumstances between him and Riliane, Allen questioned how their similar appearances contrasted their different positions in life. Likewise, he came to understand their own similarities and how evil he had become in his loyalty to her. As a result, he was content with sacrificing himself in her place, protecting her and bearing both of their sins. Even after his demise, Allen desired to keep protecting Riliane and encouraged to make their story known to everyone.

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 Freesis: 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: Allen's future self. Irregular manifests sometime after Allen's death, and has been referred to as Allen by name.
