no matter how far

Tales of Xillia 2 only.

All right, so we have his original ToX1 background history all dumped here. What you'll find below the cuts are points specific to Alvin. Thus kind of a blitz through of the main game (I really skimped on some important details, not going to lie), and then more details regarding his actual character chapters.

Needless to say SPOILERS.

In Alvin's character chapters, each one focuses on his struggle to try and be a decent guy and the tension between him and Yurgen, the latter being a more honest and somewhat naive man when it comes to the world of business. Alvin understands the system and the underhandedness that goes on, but Yurgen does not. The chapters also touch on his past and his betrayals, especially in the fractured dimensions. Since each one relates to what happens to chapter previously, I'll go in chronological order and talk a little about each chapter.
