Well, he might have been born in that region, but it is unlikely that he was full blooded "Reachman". Maybe he grew up hating them for being so inhospitable to him because he was a half breed living in their region. Even if they were not Reachmen, per say as that area was not Western Reach, but I think close enough. I believe Alcaire located near by the part of Reach that always was a part of High Rock. He was definetly named by a Nordic name and we know that he didn't get that name in Skyrim as they say he was born Hjalti Early-Beard, not Anetauch or some other Gaelic name. More then likely he was influenced by his Nordic father, who might not have been welcomed in Alcaire too, especially since he dared to marry one of their own wemen. Maybe native people over there, didn't take well to outsiders living amoungst their mist.
