Character from Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Lorn's grandson — a young Peerless Scarred carrying the Rage Knight's legacy, desperate to prove worthy of a name that casts a shadow longer than his years.
Alexandar au Arcos lives in his grandfather's shadow and is still deciding whether to be crushed or elevated by it. As Lorn's grandson, he inherited a name that means 'greatest razormaster alive' to every Gold in the system, and the pressure to live up to that name defines him. He serves the Republic because the Arcos family aligned with Darrow, and because he genuinely believes in the cause — but his youth and idealism leave him unprepared for the compromises war demands. He is brave, skilled, and achingly earnest in a story full of cynics and survivors.
Young and earnest, with the Arcos family's powerful build not yet fully grown into. Carries himself with the rigid discipline of someone trained by legends but not yet forged by war. Handsome in an unfinished way — the jaw will sharpen, the eyes will harden, but for now there is still youth in his face.
