Upsetting and Twisted reaction asks for Sad Muses
Tachyon telling Alister that he killed Kaden, this was something the general did not want to believe. This was his best friend he had known since childhood after all. Considering that Tachyon deceived him, it was likely that he did not believe the cragmite’s words. {This is how I would think Alister learned about Kaden’s death since I could see Tachyon telling the general himself before thanking him in a taunting manner.}
Alister’s anger is focused on Tachyon for his deceit and killing Kaden. He would often lash out. Sometimes that anger would focus on the elders who exiled him due to his part in Fastoon’s fall and the loss of many lives.
It’s likely that Alister prayed to Orvus and the Zoni to bring Kaden back. There is genuine grief of losing his best friend and how foolish he was to believe Tachyon over him. {It’s also likely that he and Kaden had an argument about trusting Tachyon before heated words were thrown at each other resulting in a small falling out between the two.}
Drinking would be the general’s escape from his reality. Sometimes he would go to Krell Canyon to go hoverbooting like he used to do with Kaden when they were both young. And some nights he is plagued by the memories of Fastoon and Kaden’s lifeless eyes staring at him before Tachyon delivers the killing blow.
Remembering Kaden telling him about the Great Clock was Alister’s only salvation. Kaden would be dead in this time period but it would be easily fixed once he finds and used the Clock to turn back time. This is how he accepts his friend’s death up until Ratchet seeks him out.
