Alec Hoshin

Alec Hoshin (アレク・ホーシン, Areku Hōshin) is one of the main characters of Isekai Quartet The Movie ~Another World~.

Appearance
A mysterious middle-aged man wearing gray robes.

Background
Alec had fun back in his original world, and also had people he cared about. When he was thrown into another world, he fell into despair, but it was Pantagruel's cheerfulness that saved him. Eventually, they would be joined by Vera Mitrohina, and the three became close. However, Vera felt betrayed after discovering that the two hid the fact that there was a way home. Alec knew that Pantagruel lied, but he kept it secret because he understood why she did it.

Plot
Alec meets Naofumi and his group after they catapult over the village. He also meets Subaru's group when Pantagruel brings them over. While they eat, Alec answers their questions and explains that the golems are under Vera's command, who is testing their combat capabilities so she can bring them back to her war-stricken world and end the war.

After Pantagruel leaves with Subaru's group to bring back some of their classmates, Vera confronts Alec at the cathedral. When Pantagruel returns, Vera kidnaps her because she is the key to returning home. She succeeds in breaking the seal, but it unleashes a destructive golem that she can't control.

Alec eventually arrives and reveals that Pantagruel can control the golem at the expense of herself. Pantagruel makes up her mind and says farewell to both of them. With the help of everyone, Pantagruel manages to fuse with the golem and break the gem on its chest, revealing a wormhole. While everyone leaves, Alec decides to stay to watch over Pantagruel, who now resides in the inactive golem, and is joined by Vera. Dissatisfied with how things ended, Kazuma uses one last "Steal" as he leaves. His skill succeeds, and Pantagruel is separated from the golem, happily reuniting the three.

Trivia

 * Unlike Pantagruel and Vera, who are exclusive to the Isekai Quartet film, Alec was already a character in the Re:Zero light novels.
