Alwin is a bishop of the Church of Avacyn on the plane of Innistrad.

Description

Bishop Alwin is a diligent and composed cleric with an authoritative position within the church. He is cautious and uses a measured approach to crises. Despite receiving alarming reports of escalating dangers, he is hesitant to act impulsively, emphasizing the need for more information before disturbing higher authorities like the Lunarch. This cautious demeanor can come across as overly bureaucratic or detached from the urgency of the situation.

History

Bishop Alwin faced immense pressure during a period of widespread chaos and undead attacks in Thraben. He received numerous warnings from Lieutenant Traken about the severity of the zombie infestations and the specific threat posed by Grimgrin. Despite these warnings, Alwin remained skeptical and reluctant to escalate the matter to the Lunarch without further proof. His hesitance and demands for additional confirmation led to critical delays in the church's response to the crisis. Eventually, the city was overrun, the Lunarch Mikaeus Cecani was murdered, and the Guardian of Thraben, Lothar threw himself off the city walls to his death. Alwin's handling of the crisis contributed to the catastrophic events that unfolded as Geralf and Gisa Cecani almost conquered the city, only foiled by the quick thinking of the new Guardian of Thraben, Thalia.

It is unknown if Alwin survived the siege.
