Alain served as the sergeant of Company B, the unit assigned to Lady Oscar's service within the National Guard. Initially, he accepted Oscar and even befriended André, smuggling him into the troops; however, upon learning the truth about her, he violently rejected her leadership. Oscar was forced to fight him to regain the respect of Alain and the group, as they refused to take orders from a noble. After losing to Oscar and begging her to spare the life of a companion facing execution—which she did—Alain forgave her and became fiercely devoted, even falling in love with her in the manga; nevertheless, he knew he could not fight against her feelings for André.
