Description

A young man with a pair of shears stands smiling quietly. He wears a straw hat and looks comfortable despite the leaves falling on his clothes and hair. He smells faintly of freshly trimmed grass.

History

Alpin has a passion for gardening and loves to tend the Garden in Tara Rath Castle's second floor. Thanks to the help of Sinead, he was able to fit within the castle setting with few problems.

His younger sister, Lileas, works at the Jousting Arena in Tara.

Past (Spoilers)

According to Alpin, Alpin and Lileas's mother passed away after Lileas' birth. Alpin raised Lileas during their childhood. Their father lived in a city, raising money for the two children. Since they were hardly with their parents, they spent most of their time on their grandfather's farm. This may be the place where Alpin first took interest in gardening. He eventually developed love for all of nature and "naturally" became a gardener. He never seems to take a day off in gardening, and perhaps never once slacked off. According to his philosophy below:

If a gardener is lazy,
even for a single day,
it will show in his work.
No, Gardeners much[sic] be diligent
and meticulous.

This might be the reason he never take breaks while working in the garden.

At one point, Alpin worked a General Store, being able to say the prices right from the top of his head. Alpin also worked for a weapon shop another point in his life, picking up heavy equipment and perhaps moving them to other local vendors or attempted to sell them for the person he worked for. When he looks back at it, he smiles to himself. He also once took a part of a potion study. Though he was paid well, he ended up writhed with pain for days, as well as potion poisoning. He doesn't not seem to be much of a spender, saving every piece of gold he earns.

Alpin's outfit is a slightly modified Natural Vest Wear. He also wears an old straw hat (which is part of the clothing), which has a lot of sentimental value. He never seems to wear any other clothes at all. In fact, he wears his uniform whereever he goes, being scolded by Lileas from time to time. Alpin also wears gloves that were a gift from his sister. He never goes gardening without the gloves, which was received during the Lughnasadh Festival.

Mainstream Story

Generation 12: Return of the Hero (Spoilers)

Sinead at mentioned to Alpin that the Milletian was searching for a Badhbh Cath's Talisman to search for Neamhain, if not Morrighan. Alpin says that the talisman is a hard relic to find considering it was used during the battle of Mag Tuireadh. Alpin's grandfather was fortunate enough to serve in the battle and Alpin has been keeping his grandfather's Badhbh Cath's Talisman as a keepsake. Sinead demanded that Alpin hand over the Talisman to the her, but Alpin declines, as it is a memento of his Grandfather and has a great deal of sentimental value behind it. Alpin asks if the Milletian could do a few tasks in exchange for borrowing the Talisman. Alpin wants the Milletian to console a Royal Castle Guard who has helped him as he first took his job as the Royal Gardener. Alpin wants to return the favor and help the Royal Guard. According to Alpin, the Castle Guard has a fiancee who is a maid in the Castle. He then directs you to talk to one of the Royal Maids by the name of Aineah.

After the Milletian determines the problem between Aineah and the Royal Guard, they report the problem to Alpin. Alpin find is distressing that the problem was over money that would used to fund the wedding. Alpin was reluctant to pitch in the cost of the wedding since he and the Royal Guard were friends since Alpin started gardening at Tara Rath Castle. Feeling embarrassed, Alpin decides to give the money through the Pontiff's Court donation system. By doing all of this, the Milletian is sworn to secrecy, as it will be a surprise for both lovers. Alpin then refers the Milletian to his sister, Lileas.

After everything has been set into place, Alpin gives the Milletian his grandfather's Badhbh Cath's Talisman. He also says that his grandfather states that each Badhbh Cath's Talisman has a different quality to it. Apparently, the Silver one allows a person to meet Neamhain. Because of the Milletian's efforts, as well as Alpin and Lileas, Aineah and the Royal Guard were able to marry each other.
