Alanis was born in 1754 as the only son to wandering traders (father: Helias, mother: Plenia) on the way south from Curon to Gladewyn. As a child, all he knew was travelling around with his family ,various children he met when his family stopped to do business, and what his mother parents taught him about a hard work ethic and the benefit to honest labor. When he was 12, his father (who was a soldier who fled during the Orenian-Mokh-urak war, later deserting from a group during the Conquest of Ruswick) killed Plenia in a moment of madness then fled, leaving Alanis to fend for himself. Now he works as a merchant trying to make his way in the world. After grabbing some books and provisions from the cart that was just his home, he fled. Eventually he found a farm he hid out near and taught himself everything in his books. After the farm he found another travelling merchant (Ulfric Pleon) to work for, which he left after 5 years. At 18, he started trading on his own, and was somewhat successful at it, until he was robbed shortly before his 20th birthday of everything he had. Now he is looking for a place to settle so highwaymen couldn’t rob him once again.
“Wealth, always good to be able to live finely my friend!” Alanis says sticking out his hand for the man to shake.
While shaking the man’s hand with seeming confidence, he quickly checks to make sure it’s not an attempt to pickpocket him of what money he has now.
“My name is Alanis, good to meet you friend, now where can i get some work or get a drink?”
