Personality: In the alternate Elyos, his counterpart is openly contemptuous of his brother and considers himself to be better suited as the king of Brodia. He is much more confident than his main timeline counterpart and shows resolute hostility towards the Fell Dragon siblings’ attempt to peacefully reclaim Brodia's bracelet. The deaths of his retainers haunts him deeply and is partially the reason behind his bitter behavior, as he considers himself a failure for being unable to save them, and refuses to feel that way ever again.

Thinks that everyone else is more skilled, but others know he’s a capable prince. Has the silkiest hair of any ally. 'Alcryst is the second prince of Brodia. He is the son of King Morion and younger brother of the Crown Prince, Diamant. He has Lapis and his cousin Citrinne as his retainers. When news arrived at Brodia of the Divine Dragon Alear's impending arrival, King Morion sent Alcryst and his retainers to meet them. At the border, Elusia had already begun attacking Brodia, thus Alcryst was put on high alert. When he eventually found them, he immediately fired a warning shot at Alear. However, after announcing themselves to the young Prince, Alcryst immediately approached them and began to grovel in front of them as he apologized for attacking them.' Alcryst wears black-and-red Brodian archer armor (long boots, left shoulderpad and bracer, breastplate) fixed with several belts atop white cloth pants and shirt. He also has a high collar and a long blue cloak. He wears a quiver and carries a bow. Morion (Father), Unnamed Mother, Grand Duke of Brodia (Uncle), Diamant (Older Brother, has fiery red hair and red eyes, 25 years old), Citrinne (Cousin). Brodia is ruled by the ambitious King Morion, who values pride and strength. It is a rugged country, with rich mineral deposits that supports its militant policies. Brodia has been at war several times with the neighboring country of Elusia, which worships the Fell Dragon, in order to expand its own territory. After the Fell Dragon Sombron was sealed, Brodia was given the Ring of the Young Lion. Despite the ambitions of its king, it has a friendly relationship with the neighboring country of Firene. Its economy is based chiefly on mining. As the firstborn prince, he was groomed to be the next king. Began combat training at a young age. Plans to usher in an era of peace. Strong. Earnest. Finds joy in self-improvement and is recognized by all as Brodia’s next king. Openly praises his soldiers. In an alternative Elyos, Alcryst took part in the war against the Fell Dragon Sombron, where his father and retainers were killed, leaving his older brother Diamant to take the throne. The feeling of losing those he loved most, combined with Diamant being unable to lead his people properly, drove him to become a cruel warden who rules over Brodia with an iron fist through Diamant, as his counsel, by forcing him to close the doors of the kingdom to the public to avoid further battle and to turn the kingdom into a fortress to defend itself. Alcryst and Diamant agree to collect the Emblem Bracelets so as to use their power to make their kingdom invincible, thereby avoiding any possible attack, as well as to capture Nel so she may put them to sleep, in order to activate their power. After spotting Gregory, who had been spying on Brodia, they chase him to where Nel and Nil are and demand they hand over their bracelets, when they refuse, Alcryst forces Diamant capture Nel and kill the rest and a fight breaks out between the groups. Alear's army manages to defeat the Brodian royals and they take the Bracelet of the Lonely Heir from them, to which Alcryst refuses to give in and demands a second round, which Diamant immediately refuses as there is nothing they can do to win, leaving Alcryst to storm off in frustration as Diamant entrusts the safety of Brodia to Nel and Nil.
