Character
Alexander Moonshield
Alexander Moonshield is one of the known Chain Wardens of the Order of Chain who followed the vanguard doctrine, together with Balath Darkbane and Sir Valian Bluemare.1
The vanguard doctrine puts the protection of allies above all else and specialises in surviving the most relentless attacks. The primary duty of its wardens is to guard Castle Red and Castle Black, the two main headquarters of the order. They are the best warriors to have when someone or something must be protected, and for that reason are usually called shields; they are the first to enter a fight and the last to leave it. Their creed is that the best defence is a good defence.1
