What has Alistar been up to recently?

So, the new biographies are cool, I guess. I read them and went: "Hm, cool.". They didn't add too many new things, only really expanded on Jax's backstory in Icathia while keeping both Draven and Alistar true to their old self (which was from the ancient Institute of War times). Good update, but not much to find here.  

  But when watching TB Skyen's video on the topic, I noticed something. It was something about the way he put Alistar after Draven and therefore Basilich. His bio ends with the following, stating what he has been doing in the "present" (in the 7 years after the latest events mentioned, Swain's coup).

Alistar now travels alone, as quietly and anonymously as he can, encouraging resistance in Noxian-held territories and fighting on behalf of the downtrodden and the abused. Only when he has cleared the shame from his heart, repaying every cruelty and every kindness, will Alistar return to the mountains and leave his rage behind.

##What if Alistar is responsible for the uprising in Basilich later?

The uprising itself can be seen in Darius' Comic, Blood of Noxus. This appears to be recent in the timeline for Darius, Draven and Tamara, since they are going back to the capital in The Whispering Doodad later. Furthermore, Tamara only recently returned from Piltover in the comic.

Now how does Alistar fit into this? Well, with the new bio he already has a connection to Basilich: It's the event that basically started his story. Noxus wanted to conquer Basilich with the minotaurs, they said yes, Alistar said no, he got captured. He spends 15-ish years in captivity, until he escapes shortly before Swain takes over.

By the time Alistar had slain their attackers, the boat was gone—and Ayelia with it—so he fled south on foot instead. He searched everywhere for the servant girl, but found nothing. Had she been captured? Killed? It seemed there were no clues left to find.

Basilich is to the south-east of the Noxian Capital. He has a reason to go there and help them fight Noxus. A few years later, there is a rebellion in Baslich. A coincidence? Maybe, but it's still a cool theory.

This is likely. We also know Darius had a minotaur companion. What if Alistar found out about his death and went on the rampage against Noxus? If this was before Basilich, then the stories could connect. I love Alistar so I hope we see more of him and his personality in stories. Also he needs vfx/sfx and VO updates.
