Hey Heroes,
Next in the lineup is one who has no qualms about stabbing his enemies in the back.
Alphonse the Scoundrel
Alphonse is a scoundrel who has spent time among the best of the worst - honorable thieves, unscrupulous cutthroats, and deadly assassins. The world is his playground, and he intends to stay alive with his wits and cunning.
