Alexander Ludwig "The Panzerfaust" Ehrenwall

Backstory
Alexander Ludwig Ehrenwall, mostly called Alex, was born into a family of sailors.
His Grandfather Ludwig Maximilian Ehrenwall was a famous Sailor, Merchant and Adventurer who had been to almost all corners of the world. He was the Captain of the Sandbrise("sand breeze"), a nimble and fast lateen-rigged three-master he got in the Crescent Empire. His parents on the other hand were Explorers, seeking the mysteries and wonders of the world.
Shortly after Alex's 5th birthday, they went on a new adventure, seeking a mysterious island far out in the ocean. When news of their death reached the shores back home, the Vodacce merchant they took up a loan with to fund the voyage, claimed all of Ludwigs belongings, including his ship and the Dracheneisen spikes of his panzerhände.

For the following 12 years Alexander lived with his grandfather, who traveled the lands, now ship and homeless, making ends meet through the odd job request. Fighting brigands and monsters in the woods and swamps of Eisen. During those years he taught Alexander how to fight in his signature style, the "Doppelte Panzerfaust"("double gauntlets"), as well as the ways of the gentle. Upon turning 18, Alexander, who had become a formidable man like his grandfather, 2,30m tall and extremely muscular, he was discovered by the Army.
He joined their ranks hoping to gain the means to help the populace of Eisen.He quickly rising through the ranks of the army, but after a few years of diligent service, it became clear to him that his orders and missions did not allow him to be sidetracked by the needs of the people.

After leaving the army, he found his grandfather back in their hometown, albeit stricken with a serious illness. Ludwig, stubbornly resisting any attempt to have him lie down to fight of the disease, enjoyed his last years as a simple fisherman. Alexander stayed with his grandfather, helping him with his work, while also aiding the townspeople as best he could.

During his last day, Ludwig told Alexander many things about his parents and especially about their last adventure, a topic he had usually avoided.
He revealed that he had found hints of treachery, regarding the disapperance of Alexanders parents, as well as the following debt payments demanded by the Vodacce merchant.
Their journeys all through Eisen had not been without purpose, as Ludwig was constantly gathering information about the case.

With his last words, he entrusted Alexander with the notes he had gathered as well as his "Zwillingssonnen"("twin suns"), the pair of panzerhände he used in battle.

Alexander now seeks to find out more about this treachery and the fate of his parents. And if all this was true, he would bring the treacherous Vodacce merchant to justice.
For now, he would head to Montaigne, where in the small harbor-town of Rubelles, not far off the capital, the Sandbrise had been seen anchoring.
