Alec Lamere held the title of Lord within the esteemed House Barnaba.
During the time of the Imperial era, Lamere was recognized as one of the most well-known saber rakes in the Tapani sector. Despite not being considered handsome, he possessed a strong appeal to young noblewomen who found danger alluring. Alec was a lethal combatant; his perceived awkwardness would vanish the moment he activated his lightfoil. Even before turning eighteen, almost all who dared to fight him suffered injuries. However, he possessed a cybernetic left arm gained from a duel.
Due to the constant duels and resulting problems, his family planned to send him to the Imperial Academy located on Raithal when he reached the age of eighteen, hoping to remove him from the sector.
