Alvi Brorson

Origin

Alvi Brorson is the second born of an Asgardin palace guard and the villainous, Enchantress. He and his twin brother, Iric, were kidnapped as infants due to their mother making multiple Faustian deals for her first born child, which she had intended never to have. Enchantress requested hep from Doctor Strange, who vowed to protect Iric as long as he lived. As teens, they decided to enroll at Doctor Strange's new school, The Strange Academy.

Creation

Alvi debuted in the first issue of Strange Academy by Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos

Major Story Arc

The Death of Doctor Strange

After Doctor Strange was murdered, the sorcerer Pulsari was freed from his petrified stone form and came after Iric. Alvi went to his mother for answers. She told Alvi everything, and he reluctantly mounted a rescue mission with her.

They head into Weirdworld thanks to directions from The Mapmakers, who pointed them toward Toth’s home. He had apparently been evicted by Pulsari, who was now feeding off Iric’s energy to keep him fit. They also recruited a wizard-slayer by the name of Goleta. She retrieved Pulsari’s magical amulet and gave it to Alvi to destroy it, freeing Iric’s magical energy from Pulsari.

Weakened, Pulsar’s curses failed. Iric returned to full strength and Queen Blythir and her Man-Thing husband were able to move back in.

Finals

To lift Calvin Morse’s spirits after his magic jacket turned out to be Mister Misery, the gang decide to take him on a haunted walking tour of a graveyard in New Orleans. There, Zoe Laveau explains her origins, including a pusher of dark magic, named Gaslamp, that she once used to try and enhance her own magic. Calvin, who is now without magic, reaches out to Gaslamp so that he could be magical once again. Unfortunately, Calvin had no way of paying for Gaslamp's magic so Gaslamp turned Calvin into a dealer at the Strange Academy instead. Doctor Voodoo found him out almost immediately and expelled him.

Once Emily Bright heard this, it was the last straw. She led a student walkout, which Alvi did not join. Emily's increasingly erratic behavior eventually scared off some of the protesting students, who returned to the academy with open arms. Reunited, they learned that Calvin never went home and instead stayed in New Orleans to work with Gaslamp. Alvi joined a group of students to save him. He was able to use his magic to find the secret door to Gaslmap's hideout, while Zoe distracted him. This gave the others the chance to find Calvin, who had fallen more in to debt and was being tortured to produce more drug magic.

Their attempt to save Calvin from Gaslamp's clutches caused a massive explosion of magical energy. While the local magic-users scolded Doctor Voodoo for letting the students run wild, Zoe and her fellow students threw a carnival fundraiser to pay for the damages.

Some time after, as the school got back to normal, Iric returned, having rejected Emily's ways when she made a deal with Dormammu. He tried to convince the students to leave, but Alvi and the others decided to protect the school. When Emily and her forces show up, Doyle receives most of her attention. A fatal blow was shielded by Iric. Upon losing his friend, Doyle embraced his true nature and absorbed the Dormammu power from Emily, causing her to retreat. He began feeling the power corrupting him and demanded his fellow students and faculty run away. Instead, Hoggoth appears and saps him of his power, returning him to normal.

While the academy celebrates a new school year, Alvi unveils a memorial statue for his brother while Doyle speaks on his behalf.
