Alioth, after their deal with Alcor

Alioth is a demon originally created by a reincarnation of Old Man McGucket, and later employed as Alcor’s assistant.

Personality

Alioth has a love of mischief and a penchant for chaos. Their sense of humor runs more towards memes than murder, but are more than willing to carry out more demonic actions.

History

They were originally created by a reincarnation of Old Man McGucket, and programmed to make all deals they carried out as fair as possible.They were able to sustain themselves by taking other demon’s summonings, until taking one of Alcor’s, prompting Alcor to seek out and question them. During this meeting Alioth offered to be Alcor’s assistant, and Alcor accepted. From this deal they became a “real” demon, as well as gaining a new appearance.

Appearance

Alioth’s original form was a floating, shifting shadow in the vague shape of a humanoid, with a tetrahedron floating in the hollow of their chest, and eyes that glow with pale golden light.

After their deal with Alcor, their appearance shifted to become more humanoid, dressed in a black jacket with coat tails, collared shirt and bow, and a floating top hat adorned with Alcor’s winged star. They have a starburst-shaped crystal spinning in the hollow of their left breast.The only facial features they have are wide eyes accompanied by a half-moon smile. Their “skin” resembles shiny black carapace, with tapered, pointy limbs, static arms that appear as needed, and leathery wings. All in all, Aloith looks like a  misshapen version of Alcor’s symbol.

Powers

Alioth is a knowledge demon, and has been seen providing knowledge in exchange for memories.

Relationships

Alcor

Alcor is essentially Alioth’s boss, though he will usually let them do their own thing. Alioth prefers Alcor’s bad stages, and will actively encourage such behavior.

Mizar

Alioth holds a grudge against Mizar, and will actively try to negate Mizar’s influence on Alcor.

The Flock

It’s been stated that Aloith desperately wants to eat the flock, but cannot.

Trivia

• They were originally named “Algebia" by Alcor, but changed it.

• For working as Alcor’s assistant, Aloith is paid a sixteenth of a quadrillionth of a percent of his power, and .08 percent of the spoils from every deal they make.
• Alioth and Alcor’s deal is that Alioth will take any of Alcor’s summonings that aren’t answered. The deals they make must be fair, unless the proposed deal is intended to cause unwarranted harm, in which case their terms can be as unfair as they’d like.
