+===== Background =====
 Alexis Korvin is a seasoned cart driver for the Federal Courier Service, spending long stretches of time on the [[trade_route|Trade Route]] through the [[dark_side|Dark Side]] of [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. The harsh solitude and monotony of his work have driven Alexis to seek solace in alcohol, which he secretly obtains on the black market. Though he hides it well, his dependence on alcohol has gradually eroded his principles, leading him to accept bribes in exchange for looking the other way or doing favors. To Alexis, survival and his next drink often outweigh his commitment to duty.

+===== Motivations and Goals =====
+Alexis’s main priority is funding his drinking habit and making it through each grueling journey. He dreams of eventually saving enough money to retire comfortably, far from the punishing isolation of the Trade Route. His loyalty is fluid, often swayed by the opportunity for an additional drink, and his actions typically reflect his drive for self-preservation more than allegiance to his job.
+===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+Alexis Korvin is an unpredictable NPC who can play both ally and liability. His knowledge of the Trade Route can provide valuable guidance to players traveling across the Dark Side. However, his susceptibility to bribes and his need for alcohol create opportunities for tension, adding complexity to interactions. Dungeon Masters can use Alexis’s wavering loyalty as a source of moral dilemmas, especially when he’s faced with choices that could benefit him at others’ expense. In combat, he’s not a primary fighter but can provide useful defensive guidance due to his experience on the route.
