Alger Wilson (The Hanged Man)

A blue-haired mixed-blood with trace elven ancestry. Initially introduced as captain of the ghost ship 'Revenge of the Azure', affiliated with the Church of Storms. A composed and experienced tactician with terrible singing. Accidentally drawn into the gray fog space by Klein while hunting members of the Psychological Alchemy Society. His traumatic childhood created an excessive thirst for power, leading him to secretly advance beyond Church oversight by consuming double potions, severely slowing his progression. After becoming archbishop of the Rosedale Archdiocese, he privately trained Beyonders outside the 'Judges' system. During the return ritual of 'Mr. Door' Bethel Abraham, he revealed his status as a 'Fool' blessed to save Rosedale's people, subsequently defecting from the Church of Storms to become Pope of the Sea God Church. Resigned this position by the end of Book 1 to explore the Western Continent per the Fool's oracle, returning in Book 2. In 'Circle of Destiny', he investigates Western Continent intelligence and the Revenge of the Azure's secrets, later assisting in battles against the Moss Ascetic Order after the Fool's awakening. During volume 8's battle against the Witch Sect, he seized Grade 0 sealed artifact 'Sunset Rooster', using it to switch pathways and advance to Sequence 2: Defiled Speaker of the Hanged Man pathway.
