Prince Alexander, Duke of Marna, of the House of Horen, born under the name Alexander Louis (High Imperial: Alexandros Aloysius) (23rd of the Amber Cold, 1522 – 6th of the Deep Cold, 1572) was an Imperial prince and statesman. He was the second son of Emperor John I with his wife Adelheid of Istria and a favorite of the Emperor himself, dolling onto him multiple fiefs in both mainland Oren and the conquered provinces during the Eighteen Years' War. He reigned at the age of 7 the County of Westmark, and in 1539 was granted the Governorship of Erochland, which he held for the rest of his life.

Charming yet indulgent, Alexander Louis was mostly known for his scandals and different string of lovers during his life. His marriage to the Ashford-scion Aurelia de Bar, orchestrated by his father, was known to be a mixed one, with constant whispers of both Alexander and his wife taking lovers into bed and the couple living in separate bedchambers. Alexander Louis became the point of multiple plots during the reign of his brother, John Sigismund, his insanity becoming too much for the realm of handle.

He had four sons with Aurelia, from oldest to youngest: John, Robert, Leopold, and Philip.
