King of the Strange Land (including the city of Malta) in the time of Joseph of Arimathea.

He suffered from leprosy, but was cured by the Holy Grail, brought to his kingdom by Alan the Large and his brother Joshua. He converted to Christianity and took the name Alphasan.

He gave his daughter and lands to Joshua, and he helped Alan and Joshua build the Grail Castle of Corbenic (Carbonek). He was wounded by a holy lance after impiously sleeping in the palace which contained the Grail. He died the next day.
