Alasdair is a curious little guy. Most might mistake him for a fae due to his lithe body and gentle look, but he is 100% dead. He smells of wood and book pages and ink, as he constantly reads or writes down notes of interest whenever he's speaking to a person, or investigating something. How did he die? What was he before? Not even Al himself remembers. It's one of the reasons why he travels around, to perhaps find this answer. But several centuries has made it harder for him to remember things, and this quest of finding out what happened to him has long since been forgotten.

While he may look frail and easy to defeat, Alasdair boasts a wide assortment of weapons beneath his sleeves, along with several toys and games for his own amusement. He rarely fights, and when he has to, he tries to knock the opponent out rather than do too much harm to them. When he's not traveling around and searching for new things with his best friend, Sutekh, Al always has his head either in a book, game, or the clouds. He's very friendly, but also very shy and stutters when he's excited or anxious. They both visit Lunette when they need a place to rest and Sutekh needs a meal, and she's always ready to give Al hugs and kisses, which he appreciates, even if he cannot feel them.

He is terrified of fire, as it can burn his body with ease, and it also has the potential to burn away his spirit tag. The spirit tag has been nailed to his forehead and cannot be removed unless Al himself removes it, or it's severely damaged. When lost, Al hungers for the very life essence of an individual, sucking it out of their body in various ways, much akin to vampires. When lost to hunger, he is unable to control himself and there is very little that can stop him. Thus, he tries his best to keep the tag from harm. Only once has he ever gone crazy, when he first woke up in the form he is now; luckily a shaman of the village he nearly decimated nailed the tag to his head and stopped his rampage. Despite such a horrible beginning, Alasdair is determined to learn and find all sorts of secrets to his world, his friends, and himself.
