Alexi Keirnan

Alexi Keirnan is the main character of The Heretic's Quest. He's the House Father of the most powerful noble house within the Sarveki Empire, and he's also the Hand of the Emperor, which means he’s the commander-in-chief of the entire Imperial military. He's the second-most powerful man in the entire Empire, and probably the most fearsome living warrior of his people.

He’s about 6’ tall, and he has blue eyes. He’s 38 years old. He’s got big bones, a big frame, and big muscles. He wears heavy plate armor and carries his family’s ax, which is a two-handed, double-bladed weapon. His armor is simple and formed close to his body, with no frills or decorations to get in his way. When it comes to battle, Alexi favors function over appearance.

Alexi is a man of opposites. He has a mind of cold logic and a heart of fiery passion. He can be intelligent and wise, the consummate diplomat at times, but at other times he can be a man of very direct and lethal action. Above all things, he cherishes his family, both his immediate blood relations and the members of his House. As long as they are safe and prosperous, nothing else matters. As the book progresses, his priorities shift away from his family, but you’ll have to read the story to see how that affects him and his world.
