According to history, Alec Hoshin lived roughly 400 years before Subaru's arrival and was responsible for uniting the cities and small countries scattered around the Western regions of the continent. With the help of the Witch of Greed, he was able to successfully bring them under his dominion, thus creating the nation that would soon become known as Kararagi. During that time, he involved himself in a regional conflict between Kararagi's Humans and Demi-Humans. He made several allies along his journey, fought in the battle of Banan, and won, which originated the phrase "Hoshin was Banan's setting sun". However, what was not known to history was that he travelled in a group with his friends, including Flugel, Reid Astrea, Farsale Lugunica, Echidna, and Satella. He went through many brutal experiences, including being chased by a true dragon, being swallowed by a great flood, and the bloodless capture of a barbarian fort.
