Bio: Alexander Ortega was taken to the nightsea from a mid-route flight on Earth from the United States to Buenos Aires. He was captured in a lab on the island of August and experimented on. His escape led to the events termed ‘Burning August’ and served as his rise to fame as an outlaw.
On Tombstone, he defeated two outlaws who were present in the town of Dry Gulch and obtained the island core.
Having arrived in Glory Plateau, Alexander Ortega has survived his fight with ex-Apostle Lucien ‘the Butcher’ Griffin and escaped from the island before it was turned into a black spot. He has acquired an ally in ‘Sword Saint’ Sayed.

Bio: Lucien served as an Apostle on the island of August, overseeing Dr. Ozymandias’s lab there. He had an unknown mission there that he completed as ‘Tin Man’ Ortega escaped the island. After defeating a nightshade on the island, he was thrown out of the Apostles and left to his own devices with a bounty on his head. At some point during this time, he obtained the moniker ‘the Butcher.’ After coming to Glory Plateau with promises from Gulantry for a grand fight, he was staved off by the three outlaws on the island and escaped the island before it became a black spot.

Bio: Gulantry was the ruler of Glory Plateau for over two decades after obtaining the island core. He used the core to set up fights on the island and, over time, created a stratified society that existed solely to watch people fight in the arena. During the fight between the ex-Apostle Lucien and a group of outlaws, the overuse of the island core caused a backlash that took Gulantry and Glory Plateau with it.
