I'm very sorry about Lyn, but she has done well for herself. It was Lord Veyrac's wish also that she would be cared for...Did she tell you how she felt about you before she... ... Well enough of that; the techniques of swordsmanship that I shall now teach you will help you in your final hours with he who was formerly your father. Finally the time has come. Do not regard the one in the castle as your father. Your tomb there was made by those who desire to take your life. The holy sword you carry is not the correct one, you will need the power of the Sword of Light. Guyra will endow the light upon the sword once again. Your subjects are awaiting you. For the sake of your people, you must regain the light for this country. Your true father wishes that as well....
Alexander Thornton Regginis is the primary protagonist of King's Field 2/King's Field (US). He is the best friend of the John Alfred Forrester, the protagonist of the first King's Field and the king of King's Field 2 (JPN)/King's Field (US).
He arrives at the Castle of Verdite to visit his best friend John and hears about his tale of the missing sword and monsters attacking Verdite. According to the history, monsters on the Island of Melanat have emerged and crossed the rough channels to the northern continent, with the three countries, Granatyki, Egret and Verdite, only Verdite remains. As monsters started to appear near the caverns of Verdite, John went to go destroy them, but found his Moonlight Sword was stolen, and without it he could not defeat the monsters, he attempted to dispatch extensive search parties but none could fine the sword, however they did find a letter that claimed the sword was on the Island of Melanat. When John sent soldiers to the island however they were never heard from again. With no hesitation he proclaims that he will go to the Island of Melanat, destroy the monsters, and bring back the King's sword, beginning his journey.
While crossing the channels to the Island, Alexander's ship was attacked by the Creatures of the Sea, and was completely destroyed. All of the King's men were lost at sea, except for Alexander who became entangled in seaweed, and drifted to a small reef. When Alexander regained consciousness, he lifted his eyes and observed an island in the distance, he slowly swam to the shoreline, losing his weaponry and armor in the murky waters. He crawled out of the sea and stumbled towards the caverns within the Island.
Upon traveling through the Island he learns of the evil Necron though as he journeys further he learns that Necron has actually been controlled and manipulated by the dragon Gurya, and thus he goes to fight and defeat Gurya, taking back the Moonlight Sword and bringing it back to John, who seals it along with the Dark Slayer sword.
By King's Field 3 (JPN)/King's Field 2 (US), Alexander becomes good friends with John's son, Austin Lyle Forrester, leaving him a note if he at all perishes. The note explains the truth to Austin about the history of Verdite and Valicia.
In it, five years has passed since the previous events. John was stricken by a lightning storm leaving him sick for over a month, when he recovered he was no longer the same, welcoming the coming of demons that were pillaging and looting the kingdom. Alexander tried to go to John to find out what was going on but all he had was a cold stare from John, he attempted to find the Moonlight Sword in order to cure John's current state, however he found it completely broken.
Knowing what's to come, Alex bestowed the King's four royal aides with the four principles of power that would be the key for the coming onto power of the next 'Chosen One'. Bestowing fire to Garnabus, wind to Calamathar, water to Zul Arifin, and Earth to Shudom. He then purified his own powers of light and took up the broken hilt of the Moonlight sword, joining its last remaining powers with his own to erect a massive seal across Verdite Castle to keep John's evil from spreading across his kingdom, in doing this, Alex used up all of his energy, with his last thoughts, sending a message to Lyle revealing the entirety of the history to him in hopes that he will save the kingdom and then died.
Appearance
General Description:
Alexander Thornton Regginis is depicted as a slender, composed figure, seated in a calm and introspective posture. His stature and bearing suggest nobility or scholarly distinction rather than physical strength.
Facial Features:
He has short, auburn hair styled in a neat, parted cut. His facial features are indistinct, lending an air of anonymity or abstraction, which enhances his somber and reflective demeanor.
Clothing/Outfit:
Alexander wears a finely tailored violet coat adorned with gold trim running vertically down the front and across the cuffs. A dark cravat is fastened at his neck, adding a touch of refinement. His attire is complemented by fitted trousers and long boots, completing a look of quiet sophistication.
Special Features:
A slim cane rests against his side, possibly serving as both a walking aid and a subtle symbol of status or concealed intent.
Personality
Loyal and Devoted: Alexander’s unwavering commitment to his best friend, King John Alfred Forrester, underscores his deep sense of loyalty. He doesn’t hesitate to take on a perilous mission to recover the lost Moonlight Sword and protect Verdite, acting out of personal devotion rather than obligation.
Courageous and Determined: Even after surviving a shipwreck and losing all his gear, Alexander pushes forward alone and unarmed into the caverns of Melanat. His unshakable resolve in the face of danger illustrates both bravery and a relentless drive to complete his quest.
Selfless and Duty-Bound: Though he is not a native of Verdite, Alexander takes on its burden as his own, showing a strong sense of responsibility and justice. His decision to continue the mission even after the loss of the King’s men displays a willingness to shoulder risks others could not endure.
Resilient and Resourceful: Stripped of his armor and weapons, Alexander nonetheless perseveres, adapting quickly to survive on hostile ground. His journey is marked by persistence and the ability to push forward in spite of overwhelming adversity.
Though after John fell sick from a lightning storm, he changed completely, being far more villainous and evil. Alexander tried to come help his friend but was only met with cold stares of hatred.
Alexander was a friend to the Forresters, sending a message to Austin about the truth of the kingdom and how his father fell to darkness, requesting him to take up the mantle and save the kingdom.

Due to the first game not being released internationally, the naming titles of the American and Japanese versions of King's Field are confusing, thus it goes like this:
King's Field (JPN) = Japanese version only
King's Field (US)/King's Field 2 (JPN)
King's Field 2 (US)/King's Field 3 (JPN)
King's Field: The Ancient City (US)/King's Field 4 (JPN)
Interestingly, Alexander's name is sometimes Alef/Aleph. Aleph is also the name of the protagonist of Megami Tensei, meaning both of them are sequel protags with the name Aleph.
