A reason which could give Alvarr determination to strike again on Camelot would be because Alvarr was defeated by Arthur in the battle over the Crystal of Neahtid, and like every villain, they always want payback! Alvarr could further the plot considering that he is alive and that he could play as a love interest to Morgana to show Morgana's developement on-screen (her developement has only been shown in time-jumps. how sad :. He could also provide Mordred training with a sword as well as encouragement to despise his ultimate opponent, Arthur. There are many ways Alvarr can further the plot (unlike Nimueh, who is as dead as dust).
