After his severe breakdown and psychotic lapse into his work, the flesh is nearly torn assunder and all that remains are metal, hatred, and obsession to resurrect the Luddite way. This new ideal is reflected in his new robes of black, complex wiring around his body and a mask of Luddite and Orlina fusion of symbols that grounds him to the past and the future.

Personality:
"Your flesh is no longer required. A New future awaits you, hand over your flesh and you will see reason," - Alfred before every operation.
Prior to madness, he was kindly and knowledgable of his fields in mathematics, physics, Magitek and biology with aspirations to follow his father in Research and Development. After the incident, he has lost mind but the obsession of perfecting the world through machines and magic kept him going to the point he was not the same individual in his scholar days.
He is a brilliant scholar and a flaw of his that makes him wants to study the topic at hand from inside and out until it can be upgraded or if he can fuse his family's methods unto it. He is obsessive, influencial and charismatic in the fields of his work. Even after his breakdown, he yet retains these traits but is quite far more over the edge.
Alfred's life changing event that turned him into a cyborg augment has made him far more removed from human emotions, often not considering the losses and misery his inventions and abilities can bring unto the world. Yet for the future that will stand the test of time, he will study the key to magitek and the world's modern sciences to ensure that Orlina will triumph over the five nations.
His only tether to his past is the cane that his father left him, implied to hold arcane secrets of magitek that even Alfred cannot unlock without a proper practitioner. To this end, he burries himself obsessively with work to find the one who can open the key to unlocking his father's heirloom while influencing Orlina to spread his inventions and capture more rebels for him to meticulously turn into Golems or Armed soldiers for the fleet.
He often controls his urges to disect his test subjects and turn them into automatons and machineries without breaking the law. The government often contracts death row inmates and war criminals for him to study and convert in the most gruesome ways, controlling his urges and fuels his desires for even peering into the future's path to building the perfect Technocratic city.
Weapons:
Arcane Staff of Luddite- Orlina Desgination "Ultronium" - Alfred's father, Raynald Hobbs once carried this metallic cane and weilded it as head of the Ministry of Science. It was said that it holds one of the branches of Magic in this world and often was a historic artifct for Orlina. Many attempts were made by the Government to gain possession of it but Raynald has held them at bay by working at the Ministry of Science and Magitek Research Association to pry out the full brunt of the Staff. Raynald taught Alfred to use the stick as a means of drawing Magic from nature and converting it into offensive based magic while upgrading it constantly with Orlinian Technology as both father and son developed it. Due to the event that changed Alfred, Raynald has failed to impart the family secret of unleashing Ultronium to its maximum power. As such, Alfred studies or hunts for a Historian or a real Luddite who can unlock Ultronium's power. It has since been dimmed down due to Alfred's lack of mastery of its power, bringing to a shell of its former powerful self. Alfred uses his intellect, knowledge and mastery of his family's legacy with Orlina's government to hunt down a Historian or a Luddite capable of unlocking Ultronium's raw power just as Raynald once could. Alfred can conjure basic magic and add potency with its various technological upgrades. Its drawback is that it doesnt weild enough power at times although this is but a showcase of Alfred's deadly creativity.
Laser Cannon Magicita - Orlina Designation "Stark" - Alfred's original invention, based on Ultronium's design and has since fused to his body (specifically his left shoulder) after his madness overcame him. This rechargable beauty would go on to be Orlina's primary development into Laser technology, at a burst, she can unleash the fury of the sun's heat in a straight light and incinerate targets for up to 12 meters if targeting is primed correctly. The flaw is, that the recharge time is consistently after 2 minutes while the burst shot has been recently customized by Alfred to fire consistent shots up to 6 and 7 times before a recharge time is in effect. Stark depends highly on Ultronium's mystical power to recharge it or else Alfred resorts to his various inventions such as the Electrical Breakers of Orlina to recharge this miniaturized super weapon.
EMP automaton - Orlina Desgination "Milena Storm" - Alfred's latest invention, a robot that is fitted with a brain of a dedicated student named Milena Faye that follows him loyally. Due to her frail body and dying of an unknown ailment, she volunteered to be immortalized by her teacher and follow him all throughout his progression for the Industrial evolution. She is a round shaped automaton that secretes high voltage of red matter electricity that is harmful and deadly to all but machinery. She is also outfitted with Magitek hover capabilties and a newly created EMP blaster that allow her to remain afloat and cause destructive results to machines of rival nations. She often acts as she was when a human ; by her teacher's side and all the more fiesty and intelligent. She has accomplished her dream to be her mentor's weapon and loyally follows it to the letter.
Skills & Abilities:
Alfred is a futurist, and thus like his father before him, thinks about a century's worth of inventions after further analysis of current era technology. With the dawn of Magic returning, his madness often directs him to turn what was once magical into a scientific advancement and has no qualms or morals with the idea of upgrading humanity into his image: Totalitarian Technocracy, an age where emotions can be controlled and every living man and woman fits his image of Magitek beings.
He is a skilled inventor in building various advanced weaponry, traps and civilian type inventions on the conceptualized idea of what is needed by his country and what his soldiers need. There is also his manic obsession with upgrading humanity and thus his knowledge of the human body is quite unique in order for his work to go further.
Alfred is a skilled mathematician and physicist, based on most of the country's studies and has graduated Magna Cumm Laude in his fields. Even as madness takes him at times, his skills are as sharp as ever.
He is a skilled Theater Actor and Orator, able to present complex inventions to simply and inspire his country.
His madness allows him to eerily calm his victims before turning them into Automatons permanently and allows them to be comfortable with their new bodies.
Inventions -
Orlinian Automatons - Metal men and Machines powered by Magitek and created by Alfred to aid the men and women of his country. Often used as heavy soldiers and guards to the Leader. In truth, they are either former humans who are branded enemy to the Empire, war criminals, death row prisoners and even spies. They loyally serve the Emperor and Alfred due to his ability to control them. They retain their memories of their former lives and often work alongside the Empire under false hope that Alfred can return them to normal. Their lifespan reaches to estimated 250 years without damage to their parts. They act often as body guards and are flawlessly programmed to shut down if signs of dissent appears within the brain of the complex machinery. Alfred notes this is one of his finest works as it reduces casualties to his people by using enemies against their own kind and causes psychological terror to their enemies.
Orlinian Prosthetics - One of his least favourite inventions as it does not do anything other than help save lives. It is the basics of his family's legacy and is often used by The Empire's hospitals.
Orlinian Medicinal Magicite - One of a few Machineries that can help heal a patient and is excessively used with hospitals. This technology can be weaponized to create biometric fields and Electromagnetic pulse if he can recustomize it. This meager looking device is put to use by Orlina's finest and often saved more lives than it took, bolstering a significant rate of healthcare in Orlina.
Orlinian Boosters - These are contributions to the Sky Fleet of Orlina that can bolster its speed to advance and flank enemy Air Ships. It is often used commercially by Civilian Air ships to navigate through skies and its thrust power runs on Coal as customized by the
Story:
Born to a very wealthy family who rose to the top of the government by studying their technology and adding forms of magic unto them, The Hobbs prominently rose to greater heights after the war that killed his father's former people.
Alfred was often disciplined by his mother and father to remember the loss of their people while living in Orlina to grow into a renowned Magicologist (at that time, was rare and controversial) by fusing Morden technology with Magitek. Alfred soared to great heights when at the age of 8, created the first cyborg dog after it was mortally wounded in a crash. His talents were finally acknowledged by his father and their bond grew stronger into his teens, wherein he finalyl shared the secret of their success: Ultronium.
The Arcane Staff looked different from when he first saw it as a child, due to the various upgrades his father had conducted constantly from time to time to appear even more far removed from its descended people yet its potent magic is unrivalled as of the era. Only his father could access such weaponry and only he can harness the power Alfred so longed to weild for the sake of Science and Magic.
At the age of 20 he graduated Magna Cumm Laude in the University and immediately drafted to his father's Research and Development Department within the Kingdom. To his dismay, his father had meticulously ripped most of his inventions off and enhanced them even further, setting a rift between him and his father.
At 24, tragedy struck the Hobbs after spies from one of the 5 nations attacked the department. Almost everyone was killed in the struggle as well as his own father, who was mortally wounded. Alfred hesitated to save the man who stole most of his ideas and took credit, yet held hand due to longing to earn the love of his father.
His father, at the time of desperation, insulted him greatly and told him to release him so he can further invent and take whatever means was needed to succeed, revealing that he hated his son's intelligence and he was good for nothing but to only take advantage for his own genius mind as well as his developing ideas in the field of magic. Realizing that Greed was all that consumed his father and showed no real love, combined with the events of that time snapped Alfred and warped his personality into a madman. Without pause, he allowed the debris to kill his father and took all the inventions that was stolen from him along with others he had in mind. Seizing Ultronium and running to his family's mansion where he remained for 4 years.
No one knew of the Hobbs incident at RnD and pinned Alfred as missing while his father declared dead. His mother had long escaped Orlina to settle elsewhere, leaving him further deranged and broken. After investigators returned to the mansion of the Hobbs estate, they find it to be filled with various unknown technology for its time. Alfred emerges, now half man and machine underneath the seal of Orlina and a mask that hides the deformed face of Orlina's shining minds.
Alfred was seized and trialed before the Ministry for dessertion, until it was revealed that all the missin criminals or spies that had been lost to the authorities of the Empire were actually imprisoned in a fate far crueler than death. The council was in doubt whether to execute Alfred for crimes against humanity or dessertion but it was revealed that he spent the years also developing advances in technology and the long lost Magitek that his father once weilded.
Realizing that Orlina's gold mine of advancement remains, they secured a position for Alfred Hobbs in his father's former position. And not wanting to replicated the events that drove him to madness, he demanded more of the criminals of Orlina for mass conversion if he was to succeed further. Under reluctance, they complied and within a month, their military ranks were bolstered by additional Automatons invented by Alfred. Years progressed grandly for Orlina as The former brilliant scholar descended into derange science to further advance his ambition for him alone. Ultronium remains in his possession as of today, seeking a Scholar or a Luddite who can unlock its power just as his pathetic father once did. With his student Milena as his aide, he will Show Orlina a new Industrialized Evolution.
