Alexander



Son of Graham and Valanice, Grandson of Prince Cedric and Coignice on his mother's side, and Sir Hereward on his father's, and twin brother of Rosella. When he was almost six months old, he was kidnapped by Manannan from his nursery near the shores of Lake Maylie and raised as his slave, Gwydion. When he escaped, he rescued his sister Rosella form the dragon and rejoined his family.

He lived with Manannan so long using the name Gwydion, that he still thought of himself as Gwydion even up to the time he travelled to the land of the Green Isles. He thinks of the name Alexander as being merely an identity that he wears like someone would wear a cloak. He was minimized along with his family and castle in KQ V by Mordack because he was supposed to be able to turn Mordack's brother, Manannan back into his original form. When Graham rescues them, Alexander falls in love with Cassima, Mordack's slavegirl.

Some time later, he receives a message from the Magic Mirror about Cassima. He then travels to the Land of the Green Isles in KQ VI to rescue Cassima from Alhazred, the royal Vizier. They marry and Alexander becomes King of the Green Isles.

After becoming King of Green Isles, he and Cassima would sometimes visit daventry by ship. They would play a game of King's Questions with the captain of the ship, to pass the time while they journeyed back home.
