Character Arc

Stage 1 — The Fallen Knight (Beginning)

Alahad begins the story vain and very conscious of his appearance. As a knight, he takes pride in how he looks and how others see him. His reputation, honor, and attractiveness matter greatly to him, and he enjoys the admiration that comes with them.

This vanity contributes to his downfall. His adultery is not only an act of lust but also a product of pride and the desire to be desired.

When he is banished, he feels ashamed and defensive, but he still tries to minimize what he has done. Part of him believes the punishment is excessive, even though he knows he betrayed a friend.

At this stage, he wants to restore his status and dignity, more than he wants true moral change.

Core belief:
“I made a mistake, but it does not define me.”

Stage 2 — The Awakening (Early Journey)

As the journey continues, Alahad begins to reflect honestly on his sin. Time and distance force him to confront the damage he caused.

His defensiveness fades, and guilt becomes more real. He begins to understand that his actions revealed something troubling about himself.

At the same time, he develops a sincere desire to become better. He starts to believe that perhaps he can redeem himself before God if he truly changes.

However, he still thinks redemption must be earned through effort and discipline.

His vanity still exists, but it becomes something he quietly wrestles with.

Core belief:
“I must become a better man than the one who committed that sin.”

Stage 3 — The Striving Believer (Middle of the Story)

Now Alahad becomes deeply committed to self-improvement and moral discipline. He wants to overcome his sins and prove that he can live righteously.

During this stage he faces the Trial of Vanity, which directly confronts the pride he has always carried about his appearance and reputation.

Because he has already begun to recognize this flaw, he is able to resist the temptation of vanity. He rejects the illusion of admiration and beauty offered to him, proving that he is capable of growth.

This success strengthens his confidence. He begins to believe that through determination and faith, a man truly can defeat his sins.

Unfortunately, this belief also deepens his tragic flaw: he becomes convinced that human effort is enough.

Core belief:
“If I fight hard enough, I can overcome my weaknesses.”

Stage 4 — The Hopeful Martyr (Before His Death)

By this stage, Alahad sincerely desires to live a life pleasing to God. His repentance is genuine, and he has proven that he can resist temptation in some forms.

However, when he faces the Trial of Lust, the very sin that destroyed his life, he believes he must defeat it through sheer willpower.

He tries to stand against the temptation alone.

But human strength is not enough.

His fall proves that even sincere effort cannot fully conquer sin. His tragic failure becomes the moment that shakes Dermod’s worldview and forces him to confront the limits of human striving.

Alahad dies believing that he must fight harder, not yet realizing that redemption cannot be earned through effort alone.

Core belief:
“If I stand firm, I will overcome.”
