His inability to feel pain and memory loss are a direct consequence of spending 300 years in hibernation wearing his mask. It's later revealed that he really is Dahnan, and that all of his abilities are the result of being the Sovereign. The fact that he can't feel pain, that the Blazing Sword manifested at all, or how he manifested the mysterious light that drove off Vholran only drives the question of who he is further. Early in the game, it's brought up by Zephyr that there's actually a chance that Alphen is a Renan due to his lack of a spirit core and the fact that no one can see his face due to his mask and thus can't see if his eyes can glow the way Renans do when harnessing astral energy in manners such as astral artes. He shows no interest in the various other girls Law tries to get his opinion on in the game, remarking dismissively that they look like they don't work out. Amazon Chaser: While its only one aspect of what he loves about her, Alphen is quite enthusiastic when complimenting Shionne's abilities in combat and Shionne takes it as quite a flirtation from him.

However, Alphen puts up with it in the event that if the party were to suddenly find themselves in a fight he would be ready at any time. Law asks if it ever troubles him having to wear it all the time, and Alphen admits that it does especially once he loses his pain immunity which means he now feels all the inconveniences that come from wearing such an outfit all the time among other things. 24-Hour Armor: After receiving it as a gift, Alphen begins wearing the Sincleaver armor for a majority of the game.Through Shionne, Alphen is also able to utilize the Blazing Sword, a weapon manifested from the Fire Master Core that Shionne possesses that's capable of extraordinary power. His main weapon is a sword, showing remarkable skill with a blade in spite of his lack of memories. After meeting Shionne, he teams up with her in hopes of bringing freedom to his people. Initially going by the moniker 'Iron Mask', he's an amnesiac Dahnan who was enslaved in Calaglia and lacks the ability to feel pain.
