Alvin the Treacherous

Alvin the Treacherous (a.k.a. Alvin the Poor-but-Honest-Farmer,His Most Mighty Murderousness Alvin the Treacherous, Great High Chieftain of the Outcast Tribe, The Thin Prefect of Rome, Alphonse the Talented but Emotional French Chef or Terrific Al) was Hiccup's arch-nemesis. He has been an enemy of Berk in general and Hiccup in particular ever since the second book: How to Be a Pirate. His last appearance was How to Fight a Dragon's Fury, which portrayed his death at the claws of the Dragon Guardian Protectors of Tomorrow for defying the laws of single combat. Though appearing in the television series, his role is not nearly as prominent as in the books.Like Hiccup and Snotlout's family through Chucklehead, Alvin's family:The Treacherous's are also directly descended from Grimbeard the Ghastly's family line,the grandson of Grimbeard's traitorous son,Chucklehead's older brother,Thugheart.He was the son of Excellinor the Witch and Algarick Ogglebert and the father of Fishlegs No-Name.

Early Life
Alvin was born Heir to the Outcast Tribe, destined to inherit the role of Chief from his father, Algarick Ogglebert, who was also known as Jurassic the Red or the Oiler and was the son of Grimbeard the Ghastly's traitorous oldest son, Thugheart, the founding chief of the Outcast Tribe and Sychofanta of the Sharp Knife and the Slippery Way. Despite his mother Excellinor only being part of the Outcast Chieftain Family by marriage, she officially ruled the family, and made the more important decisions in the Treacherous household, and, therefor,the Outcasts' themselves. Excellinor also taught Alvin how to speak fluent Latin, a language which she had been taught to speak from her father, who was a Roman by direct blood. Excellinor was determined to help her son become the King of the Wilderwest, and taught him the Prophecy about the next King needing to possess ten Lost Things in order to be told the secret of the Dragon Jewel since childhood. UG the Uglithug King realized Excellinor's attempts to restore the Kingdom of the Wilderwest to power, much to his horror as it would possibly mean the loss of much of his land, which the Uglithug Tribe had seized after Grimbeard's disappearance. He had her locked away in the Woods That Howled on the island of Berserk, but Alvin had already begun his search for the Lost Things and presumably had no idea of her arrest at the time.

Four years after his mother's arrest, Alvin managed to locate one of the Lost Things, a ruby heart's stone, which was possessed by a prisoner of the Lava-Lout Tribe, the famous Hero Humungously Hotshot, who was famous for completing great and famous quests, such as, The Slaying of the Rude Rippers, The Battle Against The Slobberers and The Fetching Of The Weird Stone. Alvin got a job as a jail guard in the Lava-Lout Gold Mines under the name of Terrific Al, and 'befriended' Humungous ,learning that he had been captured on a mission to win the hand of his Lover, Valhallarama. Al promised to deliver the stone to her as a message to come to rescue him. However, Alvin had no intention of keeping his promise, as he had recognised the heart stone as the one from the prophecy. When he found Valhallarama, he told her that Humungous had been killed by the Lava-Louts, all the while keeping the stone to himself in the Dragon Bracelet Humungous had made for him in the gold mines, when he was supposed to be making swords as a thank you for "volunteering" to take his hearts stone to his beloved and tell her of his capture.

Four years later, he heard a rumor that a half-Murderous, half-Berserk girl named Termagent and her riding dragon (revealed to be the Deadly Shadow, Arrogance, Innocence and Patience (Patience was the middle head, because that was what he had to have) had found the coffin of Grimbeard the Ghastly, inside which was rumored to be the Dragon Jewel, another Lost Thing, but were keeping it a secret, out of respect for the dead. Alvin disguised himself as a poor farmer, marrying Termagent, much to the displeasure of Termagent's father, Moody the Murderous, the chieftain of the Murderous Tribe (who was unaware of Alvin's Chieftain bloodline), in an attempt to learn the location of the grave. She eventually told him it was on Hero's End, but Alvin discovered that there was no grave, and when attempting to open the coffin lost his hand due to a booby-trap making the coffin's lid snap shut, cutting off his hand. Upon disabling the trap,he found a map and riddle reading:""Alvin realized from the word "Beast" that he would require a dragon to lead him to Grimbeard the Ghastly's lost Treasure,as dragons were excellent finders of gold, which would be difficult as Dragons "just didn't like him”. After Termagent healed his arm and he'd replaced his hand with an iron claw, he gave her a lobster-claw necklace he'd found in the coffin as a token of his 'love' and faked his own death at sea, to continue his pursuit of the 9 remaining Lost Things, abandoning Termagent and their unborn child, Fishlegs. Unbeknownst to Alvin,the Dragon Jewel was in fact within the Lobster-Claw Necklace he had given Termagent, which was infact the very same Lobster Necklace Grimbeard the Ghastly had given his wife, Alvin's great-grandmother, Chinhilda, as a token of his love and which she had given back to him before she left him after he abandoned their third son Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Second

to die after he was revealed to be a runt.He vowed vengeance on Grimbeard for taking his hand by killing his Heir(s)(which also may have been to eliminate all other possible heirs to the throne.After ten more years of searching, though,Alvin still only possessed one Thing.He decided to temporarily abandon the search and find Grimbeard's lost Treasure.Having no intention to endanger the lives of his Outcast brethren in the hunt,he asked the help of Mogadon the Meathead in finding the Treasure,but Mogadon disbelieved his story,suspecting him of being a common thief and not wanting to possibly create a blood feud with the Hooligans,which Grimbeard had originally belonged to and who's bloodline still remained in the Hooligan Chieftain Family Line:The Horrendous Haddocks,for stealing their treasure,and had him thrown into the stormy sea by his warriors,with the map and riddle inside Grimbeard's coffin.

Meeting the Hairy Hooligan Tribe:The coffin was found by Meathead's neighbouring tribe:The Hairy Hooligan Tribe.The Coffin was found by the novices of the Hooligans(which included Alvin's own son Fishlegs(who had been born a runt,and therefor been shipped off for the sea to decide if he lived or died)and alvin's future arch-nemesis/distant cousin Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third)and their teach Gobber the Belch during a Sword Fighting At Sea Lesson as part of the Pirate Training Program.After opening the coffin,what was formally thought to be Grimbeard's Corpse was quickly revealed to be Alvin,temporarily terrifying the Hooligans,who were under the impression that the"corpse"had come to life,before being corrected by Hiccup's Grandfather on his mother's side,Old Wrinkly.Under the disguise of a Poor-but-Honest Peaceable Farmer,Alvin presented his findings to their Chief Stoick the Vast,ironically now the husband of Valhallarama.His son Hiccup deciphered the riddle to mean that the Treasure was located on the dangerous Isle of Skullions,and a Quest to find the Treasure was organized.Alvin secretly contacted his Outcasts and told them to be ready to intercept the ship carrying the Treasure if it returned to Berk.The Quest was successful,thanks to Alvin's idea of every quest participant bathing beforehand in order to avoid the near-blind-and-deaf Skullions, who relied solely on smell and the Treasure was found,along with Grimbeard's famous sword the Stormblade,thanks to Alvin's idea of every quest participant to bathe,due to the fact that the Skullions were blind and very nearly deaf,relying,heavily on smell.However,the Hooligan ship:The Lucky Thirteen transporting the Treasure was ambushed by Alvin's Outcasts on their own ship,The Hammerhead,and Alvin revealed himself as the leader of the Outcasts, planning to enslave the Hooligans,take the Treasure and give Stoick and Hiccup the ultimate sign of"respect"by eating them.However,the Hooligans managed to out-battle the Outcasts,and the ship caught fire in the process.Alvin went down with the burning ship as he tried to save the Treasure,along with Hiccup,and his friend Fishlegs and hiccup's toothless hunting dragon,Toothless(another Lost Thing).They managed to survive in an underwater Cavern,inside which they found Grimbeard's true,vast horde of Treasure.Realizing he had what he needed,Alvin then planned to kill Hiccup to avenge his hand,but before he could Grimbeard's last booby-trap revealed itself:a Mighty Monstrous Strangulator that swallowed Alvin whole.Inside the Monster's stomach,Alvin lost all of his hair thanks to the monster's stomach juices,and he managed to cut himself out days later only to find that the Beast was dead and Hiccup,Fishlegs, and Toothless were gone.He managed to spend three months travelling out of the Cavern via the Caliban Caves and stole a ship back to the Outcast Lands. However, he was shunned due to his new lack of hair. Alvin, with no tribe to live with anymore, sought refuge with the Romans. From here, Alvin raised high into the Roman ranks after suggesting a plan of having the Bog-Burglar Tribe and Hairy Hooligan Tribe wage war with each other - a war which would distract the Vikings to allow the Romans to come in and steal their Dragons.

Joining The Romans And Becoming The Thin Prefect:Thirsty for vengeance and Treasure,Alvin plotted with the Roman Fat Consul to capture all the dragons of the Inner Isles by pitting the Hooligan and the Bog-Burglar Tribes against each other. He also secretly hoped to take Grimbeard's Treasure by using a Dragon Army to swim down and take the gold.The Romans built a great fortress within the Mazy Multitude on the Island of Sinister and managed to capture the Bog-Burglars Chieftess,Big-Boobied Bertha's daughter,Camicazi,Bog-Burglars Heir under the disguise as Hooligans.The Romans remained secret due to the fact that Vikings avoided the Mazy Multitude,which was rumoured to be haunted.Along with Camicazi the Romans would capture many species of dragons including,Deadly Nadders,Flying Gators,Big Spotted Gormlesses,Yellow Vampires,Common or Gardens,Gronckles,Puff Nadders,Slitherhawks,Reptos,Monsterous Nightmares, Sidewinders,Flashfangs,Popdragons,Slitherfangs etc).One day,a Roman Ship was boarded by Hiccup and Fishlegs,who were trying to target a Peaceable Fishing Boat ,resulting in the release of all the captive dragons they were carrying. Alvin managed to capture their dragon Toothless and half of Hiccup's notebook, which he realized was a Dragonese translator: just what he needed for his Dragon Army.

Hiccup and Fishlegs were soon captured, to ensure a Blood Feud between the Hooligans and Bog-Burglars. Alvin revealed himself and his plans to the two Hooligans, stealing the other half of Hiccup's Dragonese book and booby-trapping it with a captured Venomous Vorpent. The Consul planned to execute them in a Gladiatorial show, which was quickly changed to a Sea-Battle against Sharkworms due to sudden rainstorms.

Midway through the show, however, Hiccup flew into the air and revealed himself as the god Thor, demanding that the Romans leave the Barbaric Archipelago, the Consul's shield, and his book. When giving Hiccup his book, though, Alvin realized it was an illusion; Hiccup was flying due to the assistance of millions of microscopic dragons. Hiccup then set the Sharkworms on the crowd, and they fled from the fortress and the Archipelago. Alvin chased down Hiccup and his friends, who were escaping on a hot-air balloon, but fell from the balloon into a sea of Sharkworms. He lost his eye and his leg to the beasts but managed to hide inside a Sharkworm corpse to escape the frenzy.

Training Exterminators:He spent the longest,coldest winter of the archipelago in a century nursing himself back to health,practicing his sword fighting in the abandoned ruins of Sinister and dreaming of revenge,before hearing that the Volcano on Lava-Lout Island would soon erupt due to the absence of the Fire-Stone,that had been stone by Stoick several years before in order to win the had of Valhallarama and had began to hatch thousands of Exterminator Eggs.He quickly returned to his old job as a Lava-Lout jail guard,informing his"old friend" Humungous that his Lover had abandoned him.Soon,the Lava-Louts began evacuating the island as the volcano prepared to erupt,abandoning the slaves and prison guards to a horrible fate at the claws of Exterminators.As payment for delivering the message,Humungous promised to bring Alvin the mysterious Fire-Stone and to kill Hiccup,whom he believed to be an prince of darkness;a child,who would grow up to bring untold evil on the Archipelago. Alvin knew that the Fire-Stone would control the Exterminators, so possessing the Stone would give him control of the Exterminators--and therefore,the Archipelago.

On the day of the Volcano's eruption, Hiccup, Fishlegs, Toothless, and the Bog-Burglar Heir Camicazi tried to return the Fire-Stone to the volcano to prevent its eruption, only to be ambushed by Alvin and an Exterminator he'd trained. Alvin managed to defeat them all, but before he could force Hiccup to reveal the location of the Stone he was shot by Humungous, who had learned of Alvin's lies and treachery. Alvin engaged Humungous in combat with his Exterminator but was losing badly. He suddenly saw Hiccup attempting to return the Stone and retreated from the fight on his Exterminator, snatching the Stone away from Hiccup and allowing the Volcano to erupt.

As the lava was released, thousands of Exterminators were hatched. Alvin ordered them to attack Hiccup, and they gladly obliged. Before Hiccup could be devoured, though, Toothless stole the Stone from Alvin and dropped it into the lava, unleashing the newborn, massive Fire-Dragon trapped inside. The Fire-Dragon swallowed all of the Exterminators and Alvin with them. Alvin's nose was melted, but before he could melt himself he slashed open the Exterminator he was riding, releasing the laughing gas inside. He floated out of the volcano in a bubble of gas and was shot down by a Berserk arrow, landing on and crushing the Chief Chef.

Cooking for the Berserks:He quickly got a job as a French chef named Alphonse, and one year later Hiccup and Fishlegs were captured by the Berserks as living offerings to the great Beast that lived in the Woods.Alvin revealed himself to Hiccup in the middle of the night and told hiccup of how he had escaped the stomach of the Fire Dragon.Alvin then prepared to strangle him to death.Hiccup, however,asked Alvin to let him live long enough to help them both escape,along with his friend Camicazi who had been captured earlier by UG the Uglithug and sent to his Berserk allies.Alvin pretended to go along with the plan,only to abandon Hiccup in an old prison built into a tree trunk to die.He had no idea that the prison also contained his own mother,Excellinor the Witch,still locked away.During the Dead-of-Night Ceremony,in which the Beast was to be fed human sacrifices,Alvin was stunned to find Hiccup back in his old cell as a sacrifice.He dismissed it, however,and lowered him down in the middle of the ceremony for the Beast to devour.Afterward, he prepared to feed Fishlegs to the Beast next,but Hiccup flew out of the forest into the sky,on the back of the Beast,who was revealed to be Furious,the adoptive brother and riding dragon to alvin's granduncle,Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Second,who he had forged a agreement with and claimed to have"tamed".After demanding the release of all the Berserks' prisoners, Furious betrayed Hiccup and set fire to the forest,dropping him onto one of the Berserks' rope bridges to burn and flying of towards the icy north-west Open Ocean.Before Hiccup could get off the bridge,however,Alvin confronted him, preferring his own death to allow Hiccup to live.Before he could kill Hiccup,though, he was interrupted by his own mother,who had accidently been released by Hiccup after he escaped from the trunk Alvin had trapped him in,riding Fishleg's bucking Chickenpoxer riding dragon.She yelled that if Hiccup fell into the fire,Alvin would lose one of the Lost Things,the second-best sword,which was in Hiccup's possession.Alvin mistook the sword his mother was talking about for the Stormblade,holding it up in"the pathetic impression that it might impress her" before whispering to hiccup that this had to be the worst thing he had done to him to date.In the confusion,Hiccup managed to escape on his Windwalker,and Alvin fell into the inferno of the burning forest,and his mother Excellinor jumped after him,and by some horrible miracle,they landing in the only lake on Berserk and, although they are evil(as described in How to Steal a Dragon's Sword,in the prologue,How The Hook Survived The Flame)"you have to admire their resilience". They swam around the lake in circles(a remarkable feat for a elderly women and a one-legged,one-armed,noseless man)before the fire burnt itself out.However, though they were not burnt alive,Alvin would gain a unpleasant skin condition.They then picked their way across the smoking,abandoned remains of the island,and though the witch's powers of persuasion managed to hitch a lift with a passing Visithug ship to the Outcast Lands in the north-west.I cannot tell you,however,how the witch managed to kidnap UG the Uglithug,along the way.I know some of the witch's dark and dreadful secrets,but not all. ..

On a Path to become King:Over the next year,Alvin filled in his mother on all she had missed,including his search of the Ten Lost Things and he re-established his role of Chief of the Outcast Tribe.His mother also demanded Flashburn the Flashmaster to give Alvin sword fighting lessons,and Alvin vastly improved.Around the time of the New Year's Celebrations at Flashburn's school,massive multi-dragon species attacks became more and more common.Before the Viking Tribes could arrive,Excellinor sent Flashburn's army of Warriors and their Red Tiger Dragons away and forced him to look inside the ice tunnels under the school for the Lost Crown of the Wilderwest,another Lost Thing.When the Vikings arrived, Excellinor pretended that their had been a dragon attack and every warrior had been killed and told them that the recently freed Dragon Furious was leading a massive dragon rebellion to wipe out the human race and that the Vikings needed a King to save them.The Vikings agreed to elect whoever won the annual sword-fighting competition their new leader.Alvin spent the next three weeks practicing his sword fighting hard. Despite his mother's help in getting rid of anyone that could give him real competition in the event, Hiccup was still in the competition when it came time. Alvin came in third place, much to his dismay, and Hiccup won the tournament. Hiccup then revealed that he actually had nine of the Lost Things already, apart from the Dragon Jewel, gaining the support of the Vikings.

However, Excellinor wasn't done yet. She tricked Hiccup's cousin Snotlout into revealing Hiccup's secret Slavemark, a Mark that meant banishment and life as a slave. She also revealed to the crowd that Stoick the Vast had broken sacred law by not leaving Hiccup to die as a baby. Both Hiccup and Stoick were disqualified, and Alvin took the role of King, as well as all nine of Hiccup's Things.

As Alvin was announcing his new plans to crush the dragon rebellion, Furious himself attacked the school,convinced almost every dragon present to join him (which wasn't hard, considering Alvin had announced he planned to keep all dragons in cages when not serving human purposes) and hundreds of Vikings were killed. Hiccup managed to draw away the rebellion by getting them to pursue him, and he disappeared. Alvin took charge, motivating the Vikings to build huge new weapons to crush the dragons and naming Snotlout the new Hooligan Chief. However, he soon realized that the map to the last Thing, the Dragon Jewel, had actually been stolen by Hiccup, and he declared Hiccup a criminal to be killed on sight.

Takeover of Prison Darkheart and the Uglithug Slavelands:Over the next year,the dragon rebels made steady progress,winning island after island in long battles and taking over all of the Northern Archipelago,including the Isle of Berk,Outcast Lands and the Meathead Islands.Alvin would have the Vikings kill any dragon on sight, leading to hundreds more dragons joining the Red-Rage.Alvin's work was made difficult by Hiccup,who as a fugitive was releasing dragons from Alvin's traps,and was being helped by Toothless,his Windwalker,and the newest member of his group,the Wodensfang,a extremally old Sea Dragon,who had been alive since the Age of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock to First and who had joined hiccup after giving hiccup the Crown of the Wilderwest in How to Steal a Dragon's Sword.In the winter,Alvin's Mother,Excellinor asked Hiccup's Mother,the Hero Valhallarama to hunt down the Outcast who was destroying any hope of success against the rebellion.Sure enough,Valhallarama and her loyal Silver Phantom,returned with Hiccup's map to the Jewel,but not before Alvin shot down her dragon anonymously with a black arrow that was flighted with the feathers of one of his mother's ravens and dipped in the venoms of his mother's trademark poison,the poison of the Venomous Vorpent.The map leads to Prison Darkheart,the massive amber mining colony of the Amber Slavelands(formally known Uglithug Slavelands before the witch moved everyone there).Over the next few weeks,Alvin and his mother led the Viking Tribes of Meathead,Murderous,Visithug,Uglithug,Danger-Brute,Berserk,Peaceable and Hooligan the hunt through the Amber Sands,falsely promising the slaves freedom in return for the Jewel,but they were unsuccessful. One day,a trusty slave named the Hairy Scary Librarian of the Meathead Public Library(currently NOT open to the public)under the false promise of freedom, found Hiccup's helmet,and Alvin realized that Hiccup must have snuck into the prison.He called a Grand Meeting of slaves and threatened to execute Snotlout unless Hiccup revealed himself.Sure enough,an insignificant slave gave himself up as an undercover Hiccup under the alias of Warty McSmelly of the Lost Tribe.The witch planned to use Hiccup to find the Jewel,but Hiccup miraculously disappeared midway through his search,taking the map with him,thanks to the Deadly Shadow, Arrogance,Innocence and Patience(who was,ironically,the former riding dragon of Alvin's ex-wife,Termagent).That night,Alvin planned to execute several slaves to release some anger,but before the ceremony could begin Valhallarama returned, with Hiccup and the Jewel.The Vikings were overjoyed,but Valhallarama explained to them that Alvin would use the Jewel to destroy the dragons,whereas Hiccup had plans for a much more peaceful future.She then shot the arrow that she had found in her Silver Phantom's leg(an arrow which Alvin had originally shot)right at Alvin. However,Alvin survived thanks to the fact he was wearing three chunky breastplates(Alvin was smart enough to realize he had made a few enemies in his time).By giving herself the Slavemark and declaring it now the Dragonmark,thousands of slaves and prison guards from many different tribes joined Hiccup's side.The Guards of the Wilderwest still loyal to Alvin and the Witch were enraged and a massive battle ensued against Hiccup's Followers.In all the chaos,the dragon rebellion finally managed to enter and destroy the prison after they were forgotten in the chaos of the revolt.As Alvin,Excellinor were evacuating with their remaining few followers to the Uglithug Lands in the east,Hiccup tried to rescue his dragon Toothless,another Lost Thing,who had been captured by the Hairy Scary Librarian along with hiccup that very morning.Hiccup succeeded,but Alvin stole the Jewel in the process.Alvin,his mother and their remaining followers flee to the Uglithug Lands,blasting their way through the teeth and talons and fire of the victorious Dragon Rebellion.

Assembling Lost Things:Over the next year, the dragon rebels conquered almost every island except the Murderous Islands and the Isle of Tomorrow,the latter of which the Rebellion feared to much to conquer due to their terror of the Dragon and Human Guardians of Tomorrow in the west.Alvin and his followers,The Alvinsmen,who were made up of the more unpleasant members of the Outcast, Danger-Brute,Hysteric,Murderous,Berserk,Villian,Terrormonger,Visithug,Rudeboy, Lava-Lout,Head-Lopper,Uglithug,Perilous Pirate,Thunderhead,Unfriendly,Vileking,  Northlander and Blackheart Tribes would take-up headquarters in a war bunker hidden completely behind a waterfall in the eastern edge of Wreckers Bay. However,they would apposed by not only the Dragon Rebels but also Hiccup's Followers,now called the Dragonmarkers,and made up of the more peaceful tribes including the Hooligan,Meathead,Bog-Burgler,Silent,Peaceable,Quiet-Life,Reef Warrior,Wanderer,Nothing,Swallow,Nowhere,Barbarian,Bashem-Oiks,Grim-bod, Glum,Forgotten,Puffiner,Sullen,Winter Winder,Vinlanders,Uruz,Refugee,Mongrel, Hymir,Huldrefolk,Ingritum,Ebardac,Feldûnost,Ledwonnû,Quan,Ragni Hefthyn,Nagra,

Knurlcarathn,Gedthrall,Fanghur,Urzhad,Vrenshrrgn,Shrrgn,Landfelds,Grey Folk, Wandering Tribes,Weirds,Norns,Surdans and Forest-Fighter Tribes,who's army was significantly more large due to it being not just made up of the completely peaceful

tribes but also the more sympathetic and kinder members of the Alvinsmen-joined Tribes,such as the Murderous and Hysteric Tribes,hundreds of freed slaves and their allies,the Second Dragon Petition,a army of peaceful dragons and dragons who hiccup had drawn sympathy from with his actions of saving dragons from the Vikings during his years as a outcast,and who had fled the rebellion because of this.

Alvin was obsessed with finding the Dragonmarkers' hideout so he could crush them and Hiccup.The witch made a plan with Snotface Snotlout,who wanted to join the Alvinsmen,to find Hiccup and trick him into sneaking into the hideout,only to be ambushed by the Alvinsmen.The plan worked and the Ten Companions of the Dragonmark save Snotlout and in the insuring chaos of the Dragon Rebellion dragons(who had been woken from their slumber by a Hogfly Snotlout had used to try to find the Companions)one of the Witch's Vampire Spydragons captured Camicazi.The plan worked and Alvin stole Toothless,the last Lost Thing,from Hiccup and had Very Vicious the Visithug.All they needed now was to destroy the Dragonmarkers.During a torture sequence,however,Hiccup managed to escape the Alvinsmen,and the Dragonmarkers appeared to launch a massive Stealth Dragon assault--though in reality,it was just one Deadly Shadow. After the Alvinsmen won the battle,he realized that Hiccup had stolen the ship containing the Lost Things and was sailing across Wrecker's Bay with them. Excellinor then sends out a flock of her Ravenhunters to destroy hiccup.Alvin then sends out an army of Bullguards to destroy him, Hiccup appeared to fly out to them on the back of his Windwalker and was shot down by an Alvinsman. The Lost Things were retrieved, and Alvin and the witch prepared for Alvin's coronation.

Coronation,Interrupted

On the island of Tomorrow,the Druid Guardians declared all the Lost Things to be real and that Alvin was ready to be made king and learn the secret of the Jewel,much to the dismay of the Dragonmarkers and somewhat sadness of the Alvinsmen,who really hated Alvin and followed him only out of a desperation to survive.However,the ceremony was interrupted by Hiccup,who was in fact,much to the delight of the Dragonmarkers,alive,and after his memory was jogged by a overjoyed toothless,claimed rights to the Throne.Alvin is at first terrified,thinking this was the Ghost of his murdered nemesis,hear for revenge, blubbering his prays of protection to the gods and pleading to what he thought was a ghost for mercy,claiming it was all his mother's fault,before realizing that hiccup was,in fact,alive.Despite his supposed"possession"of the Lost Things,the newly-re-hopeful Dragonmarkers and even several of the Alvinsmen support, the things hiccup had experienced during the quests where he gained the Lost Things and the last will and testament of Grimbeard the Ghastly,presented to the druid guardian by Fishlegs,unable to decide,the Druid asked the Great God Thor, the Dragon Guardians and the Ghost of Grimbeard the Ghastly which man/boy was the rightful King,and they chose/said it was Hiccup.Hiccup was crowned King,much to Alvin and his mothers dismay and both the Dragonmarkers and Alvinsmens delight,and swore the oath of the King of the Wilderwest,and the secret of the Jewel was revealed.

Hiccup then prepared to meet Furious with the Jewel to force him to call off the Rebellion. However, his dragon Wodensfang suddenly realized the Jewel he had was a fake copy. Hiccup tried to reason with Furious anyways but was easily defeated, much to Alvin's excitement. Before Hiccup could be killed, he revealed that the real Dragon Jewel was inside a lobster necklace that he possessed. To his horror, Alvin realized it was the same necklace he had found in Grimbeard's coffin, and he had accidentally given away the Jewel fifteen years ago.

Hiccup refused to use the Jewel and tried to bargain with Furious. However, Alvin and the witch stole a Stealth Dragon, which they used to steal the Jewel from Furious. Alvin prepared to unleash the plague trapped inside the Jewel, but was stopped by a Deadly Shadow ridden by Fishlegs, whom Alvin realized was actually his and Termagent's own son.

Alvin rejected Fishlegs and went to find the Jewel, which had disappeared in the chaos. But the time had come for Alvin to finally pay for his life of treachery. For disobeying the iron laws of single combat, the Guardian Protectors of Tomorrow seized him and carried him up into Airy Oblivion, to disintegrate his flesh,so he will return only as dust and purple rain. Alvin blamed Hiccup for all of his misfortunes, so the very last words you could hear him say, as he was taken up, up, ever upwards into the ice and fire of the upper atmosphere of Death By Airy Oblivion, were: 'This is all your fault, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Thi-i-i-i-ird!' returning only as dust and purple rain

Physical Appearance

As of his first appearance, in "How to Be a Pirate", Alvin has lost his hand (taken by the coffin of Grimbeard the Ghastly), and over the course of the books also loses a leg (taken by Sharkworms), his nose (lost in a volcano), one eye, and his hair (digested by the Monstrous Strangulator's stomach juices). He also develops a rash of bumps or warts all over his body. In some books he wears a metal mask to cover his face. Alvin has serpent tattoos all over his head, arms, and shoulders."“Alvin had quick, clever, laughing eyes. He had a long, elegant mustache, a little limp from the seawater. He smiled a charming, easygoing smile (although a fussy person might think that perhaps it had too many teeth in it).	”""— Alvin's first appearance in Book 2"By Book 3 Alvin had lost all his hair and was bald from the aftereffects of the Monstrous Strangulator's digestive fluids. When he is first seen in this Book, he was "wearing a fancy helmet with a gigantic plume and a face guard that covered his eyes."

Alvin falls far outside of the typical Viking mold. He is thin and weak (at least in the early books), using treachery instead of fighting honorably to achieve his ends, preferring to poison and plot. He was considered handsome when he had all his hair. Unlike virtually every other Viking in the Archipelago, he has never had a dragon of his own, as they simply don't like him (with good reason)-Toothless especially.

From How to Betray a Dragon's Hero onward, Alvin gains a lot of muscle and a broader rounder chin.

Personality

In the beginning, Alvin's first instinct is self preservation. In How to Be a Pirate his hatred of Hiccup isn't personal, it is just because he is the Heir of Grimbeard the Ghastly, whose coffin he blames for cutting off his hand. Eventually his hatred of Hiccup for ruining everything becomes stronger than his own and he becomes more evil and less cunning. He has an ability to get out of really nasty scrapes, similar to Hiccup's, actually.

He is also extremely selfish, more so than even Toothless. In the last book his mother tries to get him to think of a kind deed he has done, ANYTHING, but he can only think of the time he let off whipping the slaves for a bit because he was developing blisters on his hand.

He only keeps his word to himself. He is named Treacherous, after all.

He does tend to act a little whiny around his mother, and is a bit lazy.

Talents and Skills


 * Charisma:Alvin is a very charming and charismatic person,at least in the beginning of his involvement in the series.He is able to charm and connive most people,even Hiccup into not suspecting him,even after Toothless tells him of his suspicions of Alvin being a Outcast.
 * Sword-fighting:Alvin is an excellent swordsman,whose skill improves through the Book series.At his first appearance in How to Be a Pirate,he is only mediocre at sword fighting.
 * Multi-lingual:Alvin knows Latin, possibly from a small family connection to the Roman Empire. He also learns some Dragonese.
 * Stamina: Alvin seems to have copious amounts of stamina due to his determination to stay alive at all costs such as when he swam for days straight to avoid dying from a fire on Berserk.

Weaknesses

Alvin admits in How to Be a Pirate that dragons do not like him, though they can yield to his will in later books.Indeed Toothless does not like him outright, and defecates in his helmet.

Human Relationships

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

Alvin is Hiccup's archenemy in the books.He first appeared in How to Be a Pirate.Like most of the Hooligan tribe,Hiccup at first thought very well of him,although he started to doubt him when Toothless said he believed the man to be an Outcast, an accusation later proven true. At first, Alvin simply wanted to kill Hiccup because he had promised himself that he would kill Grimbeard the Ghastly's Heir. When Alvin and Hiccup met again in How to Speak Dragonese, Alvin was really angry at Hiccup and Fishlegs for "abandoning" him in the Caliban Caves, while in reality they though he was dead. After Hiccup foiled him several times, Alvin's grudge against him became far more personal and consumed him almost entirely. By the time Excellinor, his mother, forced him to higher aspirations, Alvin's hatred of Hiccup had grown so great that the boy's death meant more to him than his own freedom or survival. Alvin is one of the few people who has learned not to underestimate Hiccup, and views him as a serious threat.

Excellinor the Witch

Alvin hated his mother.She always pushed him and tried at every end to make him the King of the Wilderwest.Excellinor even scolded him every time he messed up such as:when they first met in 20 years and she saw that he wasn't close to being king and had lost many body parts,and when Alvin got in third place in the sword fighting tournament that was hosted at Flashburn's School of Swordfighting to decide who the King of the Wilderwest should be.Alvin showed this hatred after his mother scolded him on Berserk when he murmured angrily toward Hiccup that he let her out,and stated that that was by far the worse thing Hiccup had done to him.However he also displayed an apparently wish to impress her, as when he confused

Fishlegs No-Name

For the majority of the series Alvin doesn't think much about Fishlegs. Alvin just looks down on him. When Fishlegs comes to realization that Alvin is his father in How to Fight a Dragon's Fury, Fishlegs and the Deadly Shadow confront Alvin. Fishlegs says that after fifteen years of looking for his family, he would've never dreamed his father was Alvin. Fishlegs asks Alvin how he could have a father he hates, with Alvin replying that it's perfectly possible, as he has had a mother he's hated for years. Desperately, Fishlegs says that there has to be something positive about Alvin. Fishlegs then proceeds to ask his father is he likes poetry, with Alvin replying that he hates it. Alvin then said that if he had a runt like Fishlegs for a son, he would be the first to place him in a lobster pot and send him out to sea. Fishlegs became Berserk after Alvin states that he has no regrets for abandoning his mother,Termagant. Fishlegs then challenges Alvin to a duel. Alvin taunts Fishlegs and tells him that he will allow him to kill him, but Fishlegs doesn't have it in himself to kill. Alvin then continues to taunt Fishlegs, and tells him that he is not a treacherous. Fishlegs then proceeded to "put him into an imaginary lobster-pot" amd "cast him out as his father."

Camicazi

Alvin has never exclusively said he hates Camicazi, but nonetheless dislikes her for her allegiance to Hiccup and also for being hard to keep under lock and key.

Snotface Snotlout

Alvin doesn’t think of Snotlout highly, more or less a useful minion for his cause. Snotlout is also Alvin’s second cousin removed along with Hiccup.

Stoick the Vast
Alvin HATES Stoick and describes him as being "soft" in How To Be A Pirate. Despite this, Alvin and Stoick are technique relatives, both being direct descendants of Grimbeard the Ghastly.

Termagant:Alvin never had any personal feelings for Termagant although he ‘romanced’ her, only when Alvin heard news that she had found the coffin of Grimbeard the Ghastly. After Alvin got the things he wanted from the coffin, he abandoned Termagant and her new baby, leaving her a Lobster-Necklace that he found inside the coffin, because he thought it was fit for a slave.Lo and behold that Lobster-Necklace actually held the Dragon Jewel, the mistake that would lead him to his downfall.

Toothless
Alvin hates Toothles because Toothless pooed in his helmet and bit him on the nose in How To Be A Pirate and How To Speak Dragonese.
