— Alger Wilson on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 94 |
Alger Wilson is a Sequence 2 Profane Presbyter of the Hanged Man Pathway who switched from the Tyrant Pathway. The Captain of the Blue Avenger that once belonged to the Church of the Lord of Storms. He is one of the first members of the Tarot Club, codenamed The Hanged Man.[1] He was the Pontiff to the Church of the Sea God[7], before he went on a journey to find the Western Continent.
After advancing to Sea King, he works as the current Sea God and a legendary adventurer.[3] He is known as a maritime king without the title of a Pirate King, Stormbringer Alger.[2]
Appearance[]
He was in his 30s, had dark blue hair, and was of mixed race. He often wore a robe with storm and wave patterns. He weighs 72 kg.
His skin is bronze in color, but it differs from that of the natives. He’s like the result of a pure Loenese being battered by the elements for years, but the dark blue hair is more peculiar, something that doesn’t belong to Loen. It’s closer to the colonists of Desi Bay who live in Berserk Sea region.
Mixed blood…
After Alger becomes the pontiff of the Church of the Sea God, he wears a silver-black mask and use a fake name to prevent humiliation to the Church of Storms.[7]
He left this position after obtaining his commission from Mr. Fool. By Book 2, the Sea God is recognised as a subsidiary god of The Fool.
As of 1358, Alger appeared to be a sailor in his prime from the sea. His skin was bronze, and his face bore obvious signs of the elements. His hair was disheveled and dark-blue. Dressed in the same linen shirt, brown jacket, and loose dark pantaloons favored by sailors and pirates, he also sported a unique belt adorned with a dagger, telescope, and various tools. He released the image of a maritime captain.[8] On the same day in the afternoon at Lavigny Docks, he was a middle-aged man of average stature. His dark-blue hair was disheveled, and his skin was bronze and rough. He wore a linen shirt, a brown jacket, and loose dark pantaloons. He exuded a dignified aura.[2]
Personality[]
The Hanged Man places great importance on the way Gehrman Sparrow views him. It’s because he’s a Blessed of Mr. Fool? Also, his attitude is rather identical to the political jokes of Backlund and Trier. When facing a problem or having committed a mistake, the first reaction is to suppress the matter and find other methods to resolve it. They cannot let their superior or consignor know about it…
This means that The Hanged Man was once or is currently a member of a powerful faction with a strict hierarchy. It influenced him and made him grasp similar traits…
He is calm, experienced, and ambitious. Being a mixed-blood, it was very hard for him to reach high positions in the Church of the Lord of Storms, but with a lot of effort and with the help of the Tarot Club, he managed to reach sequence 5. After he realized Mr. Fool's power, he aimed to become an angel.[9] His personality didn't fit the Tyrant Pathway Beyonders, and therefore he often pretended to be more irritable and impulsive than he actually was.
Despite his ambitious and calculating side, he is actually kinder than he thought of himself. He has given much advice to Tarot Club members, though under the cover of "doing it for his own good".
Background[]
He was born in the same village as Qilangos.[10] As a mixed-blood with dark blue hair, he grew up with a lot of discrimination. He was selected to enter the headquarter of Church of the Lord of Storms to be a member of the children’s choir, but without any talent in singing, he was soon dismissed. He returned to the chapel on the island where he was born to be a servant. And the priest there was an extremely violent superior to his subordinates.[11]
After he got the opportunity to become a Beyonder, Alger was sent to the Sonia Sea to act as an intelligence officer of the Church of Storms as a pirate. He had committed acts detrimental to the Church whilst under Qilangos’s coercion many times.[12]
Later, Alger found the ghost ship, Blue Avenger, an ancient ship that was a relic from the Tudor Empire. During that time, he was pulled into the Gray Fog because of the mysterious glass bottle he obtained from the ship. After that he secretly killed the captain.[13] Later he chose to become the captain of the Blue Avenger instead of joining the Mandated Punishers.[14]
After the war, he became the Cardinal responsible for Rorsted Archipelago diocese.[15] He had to sacrifice his hard-earned position in the church after he prayed to The Fool to fend off malfunctioned grade 1 sealed artifacts. He joined the Church of the Sea God by the words of The Fool.[16][4]
Later on, he went on a journey to fulfill his promise to Queen of Calamity Cohinem by bringing her remains in Book of Calamity to the Western Continent. He also received back his former Ghost Ship, Blue Avenger, from the Church of the Lord of Storms.[17]
According to Franca, he had fought Nast Solomon and caused the surrounding ships to experience a terrifying storm. He known as a maritime king without the title of a Pirate King.[2]
