Aleron Northwood

General Aleron Northwood is a secondary character who appears in the second installment of the Princess and the Guardian series. He is the father of protagonist Caolan Northwood and previous lover of Princess Lamya Davennor. For years, he was High General of War alongside Prince Oliver I, whom he called a friend. His devotion to House Alargon saved Oliver's heirs - Andria of Aramore and Benedict III - yet only in sacrificing his own life.

Background
Tomas, Aleron's father, raised the boy to become a farmer in a small pocket of forest at the heart of Wyvern's Grove. However, Aleron wished to join the knighthood.

Aleron left the Highlands when he became of age to join the Iron Guard at Ironfell. There, he met and befriended Prince Oliver I, who was also in Ironfell to train. Their friendship allowed Aleron to quickly climb ranks in Aramore, becoming a High Commander, and, eventually, High General of War.
