Born into a military family, he grew up under his demanding father who was an elite palace guard when Alon was born and was promoted to personal body guard of the king a few years later. His father expected him to follow in his footsteps. Alon worked hard to prove his dedication and loyalty to the king. But then the king was overthrown in a coup. Alon's father died trying to protect the king. Suddenly his family were declared enemies of the state. Alon, his mother and his siblings had to go into hiding. As he was the eldest, pressure fell onto him to provide for the family. He and his mother both worked hard but for a while, they had very little food, let alone anything else. Then Alon found a post as mercenary under a lord who was rebelling against the new regime. Alons pay increased during that time but he was forced to fight in multiple skirmishes which hardened him to the suffering of others. Finally, he fought in a the decisive battle between his lord's forces and the usurpers. His side lost, though by a narrow margin. The defeat rankled and embittered him. On top of that, he lost the income he had while in the lord's pay. His family were forced to flee again and go into exile. It is during this time that he was recruited for the School of Death with the promise, that his family would be provided for.
