Reachman
|
Though his height often lends to him being mistaken for Bosmer, and his manner of speech sounds closer to that of a high-born Breton, Alekt is Reach through and through, something he more openly admits and embraces now than in his earlier years leading the Branch Clan. Alekt takes a lot of pride in his group, small as it is, and has been sure to make a good name for them at both the surface level and among the underground to ensure prosperous opportunities for work and other benefits, not least of all trying to network as many alliances and friendships as they can wherever they go.

Crow-King
|
A title first affectionately given by Dannoch Thousand-Scars of the Stonebreakers, which quickly caught on among others of the Reach and participants of the Nozarga war. The title is not just for show, as Alekt has countless crows at his command that aid well to many purposes, be it spying and information gathering, or providing air support to allied combatants.
|
Mercenary Leader
|
Though still quite young for the field, and ever seeking after greater experience, Alekt's sharp intellect and flexibility has allowed his Branch Clan group to prosper and find a good deal of profitable work. His expectations are higher than most mercenary types, not only chasing for gold and glory, but providing a solid foundation for those seeking something more stable and loyal than the typical soldier-for-hire setup.

Ambassador of Markarth & Solitude
|
Through struggling against both the Gray Host and the Nozarga Malacath cult on behalf of both Skyrim and the Reach, Alekt and his Clan have earned the respect of Markarth and Solitude. Though Reach by blood, Alekt's own willingness to learn and blend with "Outsiders" and tread the paths most other Reachfolk turn their noses up at means that he makes for a perfect liaison not only between the former enemy kingdoms, but also to others outside it dealing with either one.
|
Assassin & Thief
|
A man with the skill should make use of it, or so Alekt would believe. His talents with stealth lend naturally to these two fields, and its no big mystery that Nocturnal is the Patron Prince of Thieves and all the luck that goes along with them. Alekt is most certainly willing to get his hands dirty, for the right price, though unlike the Dark Brotherhood, he will draw some lines, such as not executing children or escaped slaves, preferring targets of a more dangerous and criminal nature.

Champion of Nocturnal
|
One of many, and Alekt himself would tell you his ego doesn't need to pretend he's the only Champion under Nocturnal's employ. Alekt has been a follower of the Mistress of Night all his life, as she is the patron Great Spirit to his birth Clan, but to become her Champion was his own choice and pursuit, and it was not given without proving himself. Of all his deeds done to impress his Prince, the boldest one of all was to steal one of Hircine's own Champions and bring them under Nocturnal's sphere instead, convincing them to submit to being injected with Gloam magic that would sever their connection to the Father of Manbeasts. It was also this act that made him an enemy to Hircine, for a time, but officially earned him his place as one of Nocturnal's "Chosen" in 2E 588, and gave him the form of a black phoenix, as well as bolstering his magical abilities beyond his natural limits. His status as a Daedric Champion is not one he flaunts openly, but is not impossible to learn for those more deeply connected to Nocturnal. Among those Alekt has personally made aware of his status and abilities are Jarl Svana, Reno, Tseng, Vaylen, and Lym.
