Alden Lowell is a craven opportunist, with none of the qualities of a true leader. After contriving to be named speaker of Caer-Konig, he quickly alienated many of his constituents by supporting Crannoc Siever’s proposal to enforce the terms of the lake’s old fishing charter. Since then, Alden’s career has been wedded to Crannoc’s. He spends most of his time in council parroting the speaker of Caer-Dineval, and he throws his weight around town by pretending that Crannoc is his staunch ally. In fact, Crannoc regards Alden as a simpering fool, whom he tolerates only because Alden so readily follows his lead. Alden, meanwhile, considers himself the clever one and is convinced that it’s he who is using Crannoc. Alden is a coward at heart—a fact that he has not yet had to confront since he is protected, for the time being, by his association with the speaker of Caer-Dineval.

Alden is a young man, slight of build with blond hair. He often puffs out his chest when he talks, trying to imitate Crannoc’s bearing. When his bravado inevitably crumbles, he visibly deflates, and his speech becomes puerile.
