Roaring Battles, Blue Skies
Jinxfrost for Alfred Stein (Chancellor of Erda)
Alfred Sten is a manipulative man who uses a playful and almost innocent facade to hide an evil mastermind who controls the empire. Alfred Stein is Alfred Normen and manipulates his relative the Emperor to fulfill his own master plan. He is also patronizingly civil, though this is all a facade. He hates the Normen family line after he was betrayed by his brother who took his name and tore the world apart. He knows Elden ’s true identity and play’s a side role in the first two books before becoming much angrier showing his true colors before fighting Elden to the death at the end of the last book.

"permit me to stand on ceremony and introduce myself nonetheless. Alfred Stein, chancellor of Erda at your humble service. And I come to you on this most auspicious of days to offer terms of peace. As you no doubt surmised, that recent maneuver of ours was no strategic retreat. Call it... A gesture of imperial goodwill. Like you, we wish nothing more than to bring a swift end to this senseless war."
"Phew, for a few seconds there I felt death's chill wind, such is the might of the Normen Bloodline. But then I remembered...I'm Immortal. Such is my Blessing and my curse"
"I am a man of...no consequence"
