History[]
One night, while a ten year old boy named Alviss laid unconscious by a small waterfall, a fairy named Belle found the boy. Using a leaf as a bowl, she dripped a few droplets of water on Alviss' face to wake him up, thinking he could possibly be dead, but was relieved that he wasn't. She introduces herself to Alviss and mentions how horrible that the old man left him in the woods. Alviss takes off his shirt to stand under the waterfall, and Belle notices the Zombie Tattoo on his chest.
From then on, Alviss and Belle were almost always together. Whenever Alviss entered the Gate of Training, Belle would often fly above the doors below her impatiently waiting with Gaira for his return. Upon his return from the gate, Belle immediately flew to him and hugged his face, much to his delight. Alviss finally succeeds in defeating Gaira with his bare hands while the latter used a wooded pole. Gaira praises his improvement, but Alviss says it's due to the time limit he has to become stronger. Despite being just a boy, Alviss says he's ready to venture out on his own to become stronger. Gaira rewards Alviss with a parting gift, the Guardian ÄRM, 13 Totem Pole. Alviss and Belle then bid farewell to Gaira and left on a journey to become stronger.
By the time Alviss turned 16 years old, Gaira, who felt an ominous premonition of the return of the Chess Pieces, met with Alviss and Belle again. Saying that he didn't know if he might die in the near future, he gave Alviss his Dimension ÄRM, Gatekeeper Clown, which he had since the first war and held off from using.
Alone with Belle in a dense forest, Alviss activates the Dimension ÄRM, Gatekeeper Clown, and summons Ginta Toramizu to MÄR Heaven. Afterwards, he spends a week searching for the one whom he summoned, with Belle scouting ahead, leading him to Pazu Town. On the outskirts of town, he secretly observes a brawl between bandits and two boys, Ginta and Jack. When one of the bandits, Stanley, attempts to stop Ginta from retrieving Babbo, Alviss assists from afar by using his Darkness ÄRM, Sealing Skull. After they defeat the bandits, Alviss decides to approach them.
Alviss activates his Darkness ÄRM, Caged Bird, and turns Jack into a bird locked up in cage so he could speak with Ginta one-on-one. Belle flies over to mock Jack, and they both watch Alviss battle Ginta and Babbo, where he tells them the reason he summoned Ginta to MÄR Heaven and the threat of the enemy, the Chess Pieces. Their battle ensues all day and into nightfall, with Alviss as the winner. He and Belle decide to leave, and Jack turns back into a human by morning.
Belle questions his decision while they walk in the woods, pointing out that he could easily join the Chess Pieces. Alviss reassures her that he will make sure to keep surveillance on him just in case, acknowledging that the outcome gamble has yet to be seen. Belle throws a fit, whining that she hates how they made him look like the bad guy, but Alviss just grins.
Alviss and Belle continue to spy on Ginta from afar, following them to a frozen castle where Edward the Dog brought the latter to rescue Princess Snowfrom the Chess Pieces. Once they exit the castle with Edward having swapped places with Alan, they keeps their distance again while following them back to Pelica Port, waiting until Alan was alone in the woods outside of town to approach.
Though Belle was wary of the doggy-man, Alviss reassures her that Alan is a friend. The two reminisce on how much has changed for them both since the previous war, and Alan asks if he was going to partner up with Ginta just as he did with Danna. Alviss scoffs at the idea, referring to Ginta as "weak" and didn't want to see more comrades die. Alan agreed that Ginta was weak and foolish, but insisted that it was fate that he was summoned and retrieved Babbo.
Second Great MÄR Heaven War[]
With the sudden attacks by the Chess Pieces across the world, the Cross Guard sent out a distress call through their communication pierces requesting for Alan's help. Alviss received the message as well, and asked him to come with to aid the countries that were under assault. Alan calmly asks Alviss to go on his behalf, being unable to leave the two Gates of Training that he activated. Disgusted by his decision, Alviss runs off with Belle following behind after she sticks her tongue out at Alan in concurrence.

Belle witnesses the first clash between Alviss and Rolan.
The following morning, Alviss and Belle manage to arrive at a town that had fallen to the Chess, who still lingered in the area. He struck down many Pawns with ease using his 13 Totem Rod and caught a glimpse of two Chess Pieces atop a building and leapt up to attack. Loco, whom Alviss had already seen in the frozen castle on Pazurika Island, warped away, but her teammate Rolan chose to engage in battle with Alviss. Rolan insisted that they fighting each other would be meaningless, but Alviss argued that meaning was irrelevant in regards to the destruction of a whole city. Belle watches as the two exert their magic power around themselves as they make contact, causing a small explosion, with both coming out unharmed. Rolan observes him to have great magical power and says they shall meet again, before he too warps away.
