Abilities
Alternis's skills are simple. As a Dark Knight, he relies on making sacrifices of his own health and stamina to deal dark elemental damage, and then follow up on that by making up on the health he has lost. Thanks to these sacrifices, he is able to take more risks and then get himself into top condition as soon as possible.

Personality
Alternis is loyal, sometimes cold, but vastly more serious. He pledges loyalty to anyone he can trust, and will follow them until he can't follow anyone anymore. As his loyalty knows no bounds, and yet still has problems - Alternis is prone to fits of rage if some unusual circumstances arise.

Backstory
''This section holds spoilers for Bravely Default. If you have not played this game - stop reading NOW.''

Alternis Dim is the right-hand man of the Grand Marshal of Eternia - and technically his son. He was left homeless on the straights when that very man took him in and raised him alongside his own daughter. Alternis, between that and the events that caused a chasm to swallow up a whole village, gained the ability of dark magic. In the world he originated, atop Grandship, he witnessed the death of a party of three before a deceiving entity. Horrified by what he saw, he travelled into the next world - but lost his memory. This was the birth of his undercover alias - and until the end of their journey, he knew nothing.

However, in the last strips of the journey, he started to remember all that happened between his time as Alternis and his current events - eventually unmasking the traitor within the group. He later explains to his friends he is the Alternis of the world before their own - who travelled to the next world to warn them of the danger, only to get himself wrapped up into it. The Alternis of that world is killed atop Grandship.

However, after the journey, Alternis is last seen on Grandship - managing taxes - and being a miniature messenger/escort.
