[edit] Summary
King Alteon is the current king of Swordhaven. When he was younger, he defeated the tyrant that ruled the land before him, and after that was made king by the people. He wields the powerful Golden Dragon Blade. Even though he is still a mighty warrior, age is catching up to him and he is no longer as strong as he once was. He was mortally wounded by Drakath, who interrupted the battle between him and the Doom Knight Sepulchure, who was once his strongest knight.
[edit] History
Before he was king, he was known as "Sir Alteon", a knight ready for anything. At those times, a corrupted tyrant named Slugwrath (Slugwrath can be found in MechQuest, but he is named many times in DragonFable) formerly ruled the land back then. Most people where not happy with him as their ruler. In secret, Alteon planned to raise an army to fight Slugwrath and overthrow the tyrant. And after many years of war, Alteon managed at last to defeat Slugwrath. The citizens of Lore decided they wanted Alteon as their new king. Alteon was happy as a normal peasant, but the people wanted HIM and HIM alone as their king, so he accepted and was crowned king of lore.
Later during the Xan war he led the 299 elite guards into Xan's hot gates and lost. He was then lost in the field of combat, where the hero of DragonFable saved him. He then entitled the hero to the 301st elite guard.
Drakath, the son of Slugwrath, was unhappy at Alteon for stealing the throne from his father. At first Drakath was just a bandit that wasn't much of a threat. Then he went into hidding. In AdventureQuest Worlds Drakath was transformed and granted Chaos Powers. This made him the Leader of the 13 Lords of Chaos. Killing Sepulchure, and badly wounding the King.
[edit] Abilities
He is immensely capable in combat as his speed alone, when seen at the beginning of the cutscene was impressive. He mainly uses his swordsmanship, but has powerful magical abilities. For defense he can create a shield around him strong enough to withstand blasts of Sepulchures pure necromantic energy. Even without a shield he can withstand getting vertically hit with sepulcher's blade. He can give as good as he gets though and can channel a bolt of lightning through his sword to blast his enemies at long range.
[edit] Notes
- It is hinted that King Alteon is Robina's father
- King Alteon was not mortally wounded in the Battle of "Good Vs. Evil" and is one of the two who is planned to be killed last in the "Age of Chaos". ("I will save you two for last. Enjoy the show. HAHA!" - Drakath).
- King Alteon wields the the Golden Dragon Blade, which is the King's Blade you can buy from the Battleon Upgrade Shop, yet the sword is different and appears to be a cheap imitation. It is also available in the Chaos Shop for 500 gold as a corrupted version. This is basically a purple version of the King's Blade.
