Flatterer. [ It does sound nice, though. Alistair is good at what he does, and having what he does be of vital importance to the safety of the world is obviously—not a good thing, overall, but a good thing for his ego and its several volatile fault lines. It's nice to be necessary. But he isn't really a fighter by nature, only training. If he could be necessary in a quieter way, he wouldn't miss it much.
