Legends of Lone Wolf[]
In the Legends of Lone Wolf novelizations, Lone Wolf encounters Altan in The Lorestone of Varetta. Altan claimed to be from Magadorian town of Karkaste, and have two children. He also claimed to have recently been robbed, and so needful of winning. Lone Wolf, who had been competing without using his Magnakai abilities for advantage, took pity on Altan and tried to miss the bull's eye with his last arrow. However, as he was aiming, someone coughed behind him and distracted him. This caused him to accidentally hit the target instead and win the tournament.
Lone Wolf's travelling companion Cyrilus later reveals that Altan is a regular at archery contests. Altan usually wins by superior skill, but when he encounters a difficult opponent he is not above attempting to distract them. Cyrilus also said that Altan had lied about his children: he undoubtedly has children, but they are all born out of wedlock, as his real wife had deserted him when she found out about his extramarital affairs.
