🎀 Wisteria 🎀

Becoming famous and standing shoulder to shoulder with those very heroes is a very specific and tangible goal.
An additional advantage here is that in this version, it is not necessary to lock in a specific alignment.

It seems to me that here, the alignment is more fixed than in a similar dynasty-based option, where characters with unconventional beliefs can still be implemented as wandering mercenaries, friends, and servants. And some elite character of Alex's would look strange in your organization.
