Allen - His Dark Past

Allen has had one true love: Milerna's older sister Marlene.  But him being a knight of Asturia and her being a princess, it wasn't meant to be. Marlene was married of to the Duke of Freid.  Later (actually a little sooner than she should) she had a son named Chid who became heir to the throne.  Guessed it yet?  Chid is actually Allen's son.  Marlene died of an illess few yeas ago.  This is where Allen gets confused.  Princess Milerna, Marlene's younger sister, (who's 15!) is in love with Allen.  To Allen she reminds him of Marlene and he doesn't know how to feel about this.  He also has feelings for Hitomi but mostly because she reminds him of the sister he lost.  Through Zaibach's fate alteration machine he falls in love with Hitomi.  He later proposes to her but she is sent back to Earth.  He doesn't get any girl in the end (well isn't that a playboy's fate?) It waskind of crepy though.  Allen was 21, and Hitomi and Milerna were only 15! That's like one of my friends going out with my youngest sister!!
Allen's father left them and was searchng for the secret of Atlantis because of a girl who had magically appeared for a brief moment (this was Hitome's grandmother!). He became obsessed with her and had to know how he felt about her befor he returned to his family.  When he found her again he realized he was actually in love with his wife, but he died before he could return.  Allen has a lot of resentment towards him.
Another big spoiler is Allen's lost sister.  Soon after Hitome goes back to Earth his sister Selena just appears, turns into Dilandau and is taken away by an invisible guymelef.  Yes, Dilandau is actually Allen's sister! Selena was taken by Zaibach and had experiments don't on her which turned her into Dilandau.  Selena still has the mind of a child.  When Van gets in a fight with Dilandau, Allen defends him.  When our happy ending arrives, Diladau turnsback into Selena.
