Physical Description:
Alexios was a short yet slender man, he had piercing blue eyes and relatively plain features, hidden by a long and full black beard. He looked withered, even for his age, but those who saw him deliver his sermons could attest to seeing a blue flame in his eyes. Whether such a flame came forth from passion, faith or hatred, it was nonetheless visible.
Summary:
Patriarch Alexios was installed during the short reign of Sine Verrador, and his duties were thus performed within the Electorate Imperium of Hadriana. His time as Patriarch, although shortlived, left a lasting and irreversible impact on the Alderist Church. During his time, the Church, along with most other institutions in the Electorate Replubic experienced a large decline in support. His fiery speeches and sermons fell deaf on the ears of the Hadrian populace and at the end of his reign, the Church was whittled down so much, it had become a farce. His seat was St. Onnodrith's Cathedral in Adelsburg, before it was knocked down and replaced after the reclamation of the city by Diederick-Göbel von Lichtenfelts. With that, the returning Kaiser ushered in a new age for the Church and it was dubbed the Temple of Alder, with a Vater at the helm. A large new Temple was built where St. Onnodrith's Cathedral had once stood and it was from then that the faith began to heal and grow within the populace once more. In many ways, Patriarch Alexios' reign is seen as one of the most prominent black pages in Alderist recollection.
