Alen was born and raised a Na’Varro, having grown up in his ancestral lands while his family was still a great power on Corino. His father Aran was a traditionalist, reverting his family’s ways back to how they had been when they were Kings and conquerors. Historically, the Na’Varro were savage raiders and warmongers, known for their ambition and cunning. Aran, being both ambitious and cunning, had designs on the throne of Corino and saw in Alen in his natural heir, choosing to groom him for a life of rule.
