Alexander the Steward, also known as Old Straight, was a Detinan Brigadier who supported Geoffrey as king of the northern regions during the Detinan Civil War. Following the death of Leonidas the Priest in the Peachtree Province campaign, Alexander was appointed by General Joseph the Gamecock to take over Leonidas' wing of the Army of Franklin.[1] The arrival of Alexander was universally applauded, as Leonidas, despite his favor with the gods, had no skill to speak of as a general.
