== Update History ==
{{Update History|
[[To Raise a Banner of Flame]]
* Murdered by [[Hamud ibn Rafik]] and can no longer create greater and medium quality armor at its former AL due to [[Vitae Penalty]].
* Now found at the local town Lifestone instead of the usual location in the town proper.

[[Fever Dreams]]
* Alean has lost his vitae penalty and can once again produce shadow armor at its former pre-patch armor levels.
* Now exchange the new armor for the older post-patch (stoneable) version and vice versa.

[[Engineered Ascendance]]
* Increased in level from 53 to 100.
* No longer exchange armor for fused gems but instead sell new armor sets.
* Now wears the suit that he sells.
