Alistair Huntington

Alistair Huntington, also known as: The Sapphire Fox, Master Alistair, Archmagester, or simply The Fox, is the main protagonist of the SapphireFoxx (SF) universe, serving as the overarching protagonist of a great many comics, animations, and one-shots, and the main protagonist of Awakening. He is a centuries old sorcerer who has been cursed to live an immortal life as a statue made of Sapphire Crystal in the shape of a Fox. While his power is greatly weakened by his cursed body, he is one of if not the most powerful sorcerer known in the SF universe and his powers have only ever truly been rivaled by his wife turned archenemy Sylvana Huntington. After he defeated his wife following her descent to madness, he ended up cursed just like he had done to her. Instead of curing himself however, he elected to remain as a statue, cursed to live an immortal life stripped of all sensations and freedoms of physical form as he felt an obligation to clean up the mess cause by his wife. thus, he chose to remain in his immortal statue form and begin his centuries long mission to purge the world of the gender curse and seek out and help those born with it.
== Appearance ==
In his cursed statue form Alistair appears as a solid statue in the shape of a sitting fox made of solid blue sapphire crystal. He is able to hover freely through the use of his own magic and can live vicariously through a construct body, however he's stated no matter how convincing the construct he makes may be to the outside observer it doesn't feel real on his end.
In his young human form Alistair is a tall fit man with light blue eyes and short black hair. He is usually shown wearing elaborate Mana Armor of blue and black designs with the insignia of a Sapphire Fox on the belt. If he wishes to appear less conspicuous in public around Non-Bloods he tends to wear darker clothing such as a black shirt and dark jeans or even a black jacket and grey undershirt. In his construct form he has longer white hair but its unclear if this is a personal choice or if his advanced age lead to his hair fading to white. Though its appearance in the Kings Heirs with a few white highlights on longer black hair seems to imply his age may be at play to some degree.
When Alistair is at last able to restore his true human form and shed his statue body for one of reconstructed Flesh and Blood, he seems to form a much younger body. This is mentioned to likely be the result of using Isabelle's blood for the ritual which in turn caused his new body to take on a form closer to her age at the time (mid 20s) thus he has the shorter cut black hair her had in his youth.
When he poses as a female DSC agent known as Alice Frostburn in a construct form she has a very skinny and busty figure but maintains the same color scheme of her male construct form. She has long white hair and pale blue eyes but still wears dark colors of black, blue and a bit of grey or silver mixed in. A later version of Alice featured in “Only Fox Fridays” bonus art displays her with black hair instead of white likely due to Alastair's most current form at the time having his younger black design.
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Alistair's exact origins and back story have not been explored but he is known as one of if not the most powerful Sorcerer in the world even in his younger years.
In the 1400's he met and fell in love with another powerful sorcerer woman by the name of Sylvana who he would eventually marry and start a family with. The two of them came to have five children together: Amber, Piper, Desmond, Noah, and Ivy. They all live within the hidden sorcerer state known as the Kelterra Dominion in Europe in a supposed secret village hidden from the Non-Blood world.
Around the time Noah was only a baby and Ivy had not been born yet Alistair had rose to the rank of Archmage in the Dominion and Sylvana served as one of its high ranking Generals. At this point the Dominion opened negotiations with the Non-Blood Matilda Wellington who served as the queen of England. Matilda hoped to ally the Sorcerer Dominion and her Non-Blood kingdom to bring great benefit and prosperity to both peoples. Alistair was selected as a representative to discuss a treaty between them and arrived with his family one day to begin negotiations. Despite the hopes of all of them the alliance did not pan out as planned.
The exact details are not known but its implied that the Non-Blood commoners of England reacted in fear of sorcerer kind and what they could do so instead of embrace the bounty and advancement they could bring them they sought to attack them before any alliance could begin. A group of Non-Bloods then attacked Alistair's village and in the fight Amber was killed and an infant Noah lost his arm and legs. While Alistair, Sylvana, and the rest of their children survived (including Ivy who was either an infant or yet to be born) both he and Sylvana had been driven mad with grief and rage over what had happened to their children and began to delve into forbidden blood magics in an effort to increase their own power. They attempted to revive Amber and find a way to wipe out the Non-Blood population of the world in vengeance. Together they discovered how to duplicate their own Mana Marks and graft a copy onto the other. Sylvana received a copy of Alistair's Sapphire mark and he received a copy of her Ruby mark. With their power increased off the scale Alistair and Sylvana created a terrible Curse that would mind control the Non-Blood population and turn them all into women so they would no longer be able to breed on their own and die off after a few decades.
Their plans went far and thousands became infected with this curse but in time Alistair saw the world they were making was not what Amber would have wanted. He then betrayed Sylvana and formed a group known as the Sapphire Legion to move against her and stop her plans as she had become too corrupted from the blood magic and her attempts to revive Amber to see the same reason Alistair had. In a final battel between them and their individual followers Alistair managed to triumph over her but rather than kill his now corrupted wife he hoped one day she could find redemption as he had and cursed her into a Statue form. However Sylvana had foreseen his betrayal and had jinxed Alistair in his sleep so the curse he cast on her was duplicated onto him. This lead to him becoming the Sapphire Fox. After Sylvana's defeat Alistair's Sapphire Legion sealed her away and took him into hiding so he could recover his power slowly. They did their best to clean up the mess made by their curse but were unable to fully transform the victims back to normal. After Alistair recovered some of his power and adjusted to live in his statue form he took it upon himself to clean up the rest of the mess he and Sylvana had made knowing the Gender Curse they created would now pass down through lineage. He elected to remain a statue to reap the benefit of immortality and give himself the time needed to seek out those afflicted and cure them. Taking on this burden onto only himself as a form of self punishment for his mistake in causing this mess.
=== The King's Heirs ===
A few years after the defeat of Sylvana Alistair regains enough strength to begin his mission and starts by targeting the royal family of England, the Wellingtons. Unlike her other victims, Sylvana gender swapped the entire family out of vengeance for their people's hostility towards sorcerers so Alistair discreetly goes after them one by one. He begins with prince Duncan who is in reality Princess Dawn and while are first she is hesitant to trust him she slowly becomes a bit more trusting of him after she meets his children as well. While Alistair had hoped to cure the family himself his surviving children, Piper, Desmond, Noah, and Ivy. With a bit of convincing the kids join their father in helping cure the wellington family.
Despite succeeding in curing Dawn and later her sister Grace turned brother Gabriel they then get mixed up in an attempt by the youngest Wellington sibling Prince Tristen/ Princess Talia who hoped to hire sorcerer assassins to kill of her siblings and inherit the throne. Alistair and the others manage to fend them off but not without a lot of struggle. The assassins go as far as to mind control Piper against them and kill the King turned Queen soon after Ivy and Noah cure her. Alistair regains a fair amount of strength to defeat the leaders of the Assassin group and force the rest to retreat he is however wounded in the final fight and is rendered unconscious while the final blow is dealt by Noah to stop Talia and save Dawn.
A couple days later Alistair and Piper are both recovered and are able to combine their powers to Mass Memory Alter the country if not the world to remember the Wellingtons in their proper forms and despite a bit of bad history between the family he accepts that his son Desmond has developed feelings for the recovered Dawn. Alistair then sees Dawn crowed the new queen in the wake of her mothers death and proceeds with his mission while still trying to have some form of life with his children.
Years later he then creates a magic made Island (Fox Island) in an isolated part of the Atlantic about 200 miles south of Nova Scotia. Here he creates a lair that includes a vault where he can store the curse orbs away until they decay and fade into nothing. But as time goes on and his children all go their own ways and he is left on his mission alone.
=== Cinder Isle ===
After over 500 years of traveling the world and curing those born with the gender curse Alistair's self imposed isolation finally starts to get to him and with all his children now long passed on and having fallen out of contact with any descendants he grows very depressed. Eventually in 1996 he uses a powerful ritual in an attempt to comitt suicide by shattering his crystal body. However the ritual is either interrupted by or causes an Earthquake that breaches the seal of his curse vault and creates a fault line cave leading to the nearby Cinder Isle. Alistair is successful in shattering his body but his soul take a long time to fade away and actually die beyond repair.
Over a year later three girls arrive through the cave and discover the decaying ruins of Alistair's lair and his shattered body but have no real idea of what it all is. These three girls are Zoey, Natalie, and Sandra who were all once men but were infected by a Virus that transforms men into women that seemed to have originated from the island. In an effort to find answers they gather the scattered crystals and return to the island and their friend Gavin is able to eventually reassemble Alistair enough to revive him.
Alistair then realizes what has happened. The earthquake breached his vault and mixed the decaying curses fluid like state with spring water that then flowed to Cinder Isle through the cave and into a swampy lake. This fluid then became the Virus that now transforms it victims into women and has lead to the quarantine of Cinder Isle. With a bit of planning he comes up with a plan to have the kids figure out who on the island wishes to stay transformed and then cure them all of the virus. Erasing all memory of it from the world to clean up his mistake. After a few months he is fully reassembled and repairs the damage leaving the memory's of Gaela, Shane, Natalie, and Zach untouched. After having made friends with the group of them and learning to see a new light in life he resumes his mission and occasionally returns to visit the group to lessen his loneliness.
=== Shifting Roommates ===
Years later Alistair has resumed his mission to seek out and cure those effected by the Gender Curse. One of his missions takes him to the shared apartment of two men. Jamie Cummings and Scott McCarthy. He at first poses as a statue left behind by the previous owners that the two guys like and keep and decoration but he then slowly transforms them both over the course of several months. He cures Jamie of his/her Gender Curse and turns Scott from a skroney geeky guy into a buff hunk. Despite transforming her, Jamie's curse remains stubborn and takes much longer to remove. Even after the two friends catch on and figure out the Fox statue in their apartment is behind their transformations he vanishes and continues his mission on other targets as he waits for Jamie's curse to fully dislodge.
Nearly a year and a half later when Jamie and Scott have become an official couple and embraced their new lives the Fox returns and removes her curse. He also gives her a glimpse of her future son Benjamin and explains a bit more about his mission and why he does what he does. He then leaves Jamie and her friends behind to live as their truth selves now.
=== Stealing From Sis ===
Alistair finds two more targets in the form of Twin siblings Mariah and Tyler Wright. He poses as an Antique statue bought by Mariah and waits in her closet for a chance to transform the two siblings into each other. While at first they are both somewhat stubborn to try and live as their true selves after about a day the two come embrace their new lives and Alistair is able to remove their curses and seal them away in the vault.
=== Becoming A Bridesmaid ===
On another of his missions to cure an unspecified target Alistair crosses paths with a woman named Amanda who is in reality a man in a skin suite named James who is posing as a bride maid in his sister's wedding due to being estranged from their father. While she herself is not cursed he senses how she's come to enjoy living as a woman and wants to be with a lesbian girl Lucy. In an effort to help her Alistair slowly fuses her body piece by piece into the suite. When she finally realizes what's happening Alistair confronts her and points out her conflicted desires. He then conjures two necklaces that will turn her fully from James to Amanda and vise versa saying by midnight the next night what ever she is transformed as will become permanent. This leads Amanda to choosing to fully become a woman and live a life with Lucy but Alistair does not return to her after her final choice leaving her to make her own way.
=== To Good to Put Down ===
On another of his missions in the area of Seattle Alistair cures a young women named Francine of her curse but after leaving with her curse orb he senses a magical disturbance in a nearby area. There he finds a transformed house and construct that were conjured by a young witch trying to teach her boyfriend a lesson. He eventually tracks the magic to a young girl Isabelle Arrington. He confront her on her prank that has gone way too far and discovers she is not only a powerful yet irresponsible witch but also a distant descendant of his. He berates her for her immaturity and threatens her to force her to end the prank. After learning the legendary Fox is in fact her distant great grandfather Isabelle asks to be taught by him in magic but Alistair leaves telling her she a selfish and immature brat who doesn't deserve to learn from him. However Isabelle sees he's right and begins planning a way to track him down and prove herself.
=== My Apprentice ===
Less than a week later Alistair returns from another mission to find Isabelle has tracked him and found Fox Island. Despite his initial hostility to her return she present him with a Curse orb she collected to prove herself and appeals to him saying she wants to change and better herself. Alistair warns her of the dangers of seeking power without caution but agrees to give her a test. He sends her to collect three more curse orbs in thirty minutes. While she succeeds Alistair still rejects her as an apprentice and says while she does show skill he feels she is still to immature. His rejection however was only a part of the test for her and a few months later after spending time observing her studying and trying to better herself he returns and offers her a proper apprenticeship. Here he uses a construct body to live vicariously outside of his statue form and with Isabelle's insistence he reveals his human form to her. He then works to teach Isabelle in advanced magics and they join together in the mission to cure those afflicted with the Gender Curse greatly upping his progress.
=== Fractured ===
Alistair and Isabelle make summer pans to travel Australia curing the populace of the curses. However in his endeavors on his own he crosses paths with four asshole men who are harassing one of his targets. He saves her from them but in his attempt he gets smashed up when they mistake him for a discarded lawn ornament. While he survives the damage, it seems to bring out his past dark side and drives him to curse the four men to slowly turn into women. He then tries to teleport home to get Isabelle to repair him but is too damaged and has to fly home the long way instead. In route he is mistaken by the DSC as a rouge construct and shot down. This severally damages him and leaves him shattered in the desert leaving a few small remnant of his dark side, known as the Mad Fox to break free and cause havoc for the four in Australia.
Eventually he is found and revived by Isabelle but when she questions him on the dark side of him she briefly witnessed he dodges the question and sends her to rest. He they plans to find and take back the last few of his shards that were taken by the DSC and gives Isabelle a bit of training to help him do it. He also agrees the group in Australia have suffered enough and returns to turn them back to normal but with their protest and Isabelle's help most of them choose to remain as women. In his thanks for Isabelle dedication to helping him he gifts her with a rune weapon called Song Killer that once belong to his daughter Ivy whom Isabelle is descended from.
=== Matchmaker ===
A bit after this Alistair teleports to Isabelle's room one day when she is late for training only to find she is bed with her new boyfriend Chris Young. While initial introductions are awkward Alistair seems to like Chris and even jokingly warns him about how Isabelle treats her exes as he saw the day they met. Alistair then gives Isabelle the day off and leaves the two of them to continue a bit.
=== The Heist ===
After a fair amount of prep and training Alistair recruits Isabelle and an unseen ally code named Vanguard to help him infiltrate the DSC Headquarters and recover his last few missing shards. He crafts Isabelle Mana Armor and trains her for the mission. In an effort to sway a few guards Alistair uses Blood Magic to make his construct body into a convincing imitation of flesh and blood. He then transforms his normal male form into a female form he names Agent Alice.
Both Alice (Codename: Overlord) and Isabelle (Codename: Tempest) Infiltrate the DSC Headquarters and cause enough of a distraction by freeing a captured dragon to allow Alice to slip past Director Zephys and retrieve her shards. However on the way out Tempest is attacked by Zephys and Alice is forced to intervene in a grudge match with Zephys. Alice has the clear advantage until more agents show up to fight but when she sheds her construct form and Zephys realizes who she/he is she orders her agents to stand down knowing how powerful Alistair is and that too many will get hurt. She reluctantly lets them leave admitting their taking the shards is excusable but Alistair and Isabelle are left unaware she has drones tracking them as they leave.
Upon return to the island Alistair thanks Isabelle for her help and reveals his other ally Vanguard is in fact Isabelle's Best friend Claire Dupont whom he had observed while watching Isabelle some months ago and recruited for her technical skills. He thanks Claire with a book on advance Gold Magics and gifts her with a resurrected form of her late dog Raven whom he revived with Necromancy. He also offers her the occasional lesson in advanced magics. Claire accepts the offer but says she's too busy with other work for a full apprenticeship like Isabelle.
=== Ashes to Ashes ===
One day while gazing into his crystal ball looking for his next target Alistair finds an interesting one in the form of Ash/Ashley. A rare occurrence where a sorcerer is born with the gender curse. Seeing Ash's above average skill in magic for his/her age Alistair decides to send Isabelle to cure her but refrains from telling her she is also a sorcerer. He had hoped it would be a test for Isabelle's combat skills as well as diplomatic skills and watches as the two have a grudge match when she fails to properly explain things to Ashley. Alistair watches and promises to interfere if things go too far but in the end Isabelle triumphs and successfully removes the curse. Unknown to her however, Ashley Manages to follow her back to the island and come face to face with Alistair. Despite Isabelle's hostility he welcomes Ashley and sits her down to explain the facts to her.
After explaining his story and mission to Ashley he offers her help in explaining her true self and new life as a woman to her family because as sorcerers they are unaffected by Mass Memory Alter. Ashley however wishes to address that issue on her own and leaves promising to keep the island a secret.
A few months later Ashley returns with Isabelle wanting to thank Alistair again and speak to him about something else. Alistair is meditating on the island's beach and is at first annoyed Isabelle has brought a guest without permission. But upon seeing its Ashley he is more accepting and assumes she is there to thank them again. Ashley however also asks to join their mission in curing the cursed and helping others like her. Alistair admires her drive and offers her a minor apprenticeship at his side. While Isabelle is a bit offset by this he assures her that she will always remain his primary apprentice. However with Ashley joining the fight the three of them begin to further their progress on curing the cursed.
=== Maker's Game ===
Alistair has continued to teach Isabelle but one day when she questions him on the idea artificial souls inside of real bodies he says how that is too advanced to teach quickly but he himself could tell easily if that was the case with someone. Isabelle however drops the issue still unsure of the situation with Chris that brought the subject up. However a few days later when Isabelle returns as scheduled and now has an artificial soul within her Alistair immediately detects it and attacks the imposter possessing her body. Seeing she/it's been found out and can't beat Alistair it attempts suicide but Alistair stops it and removes the artificial soul. He then brings her home to her parents and explains the situation. He tries to investigate things by going to Chris but find he too is possessed by a duplicate soul and subdues him. He then meets Jessica and she offers what she knows about what Cynthel/Chris had said and the VR head set.
Alistair and the others take Chris and Isabelle to a sorcerer hospital and involve the SPS (Sorcerer Protection Forces) in investigating the artificial souls and the Age of Adventure involvement. While Alistair does little to actually stop Barnes he is present when Isabelle and Chris at last wake up and are in possession of his soul. He is forced to pose as Isabelle's older brother due to Chris' family and other sorcerers being present but no one seems to notice this. He then praises them for their courage and helps ensure Barnes is dealt with.
=== Godmother ===
Alistair makes a brief appearance in Godmother when he teleports to the Bahamas to find Isabelle and Chris having a weekend there. While he is a bit upset about Isabelle spending all her time with Chris rather than cure a few targets in the area as he told her he leaves them to have their fun and do it himself intending for Izzy to make it up later. He then cloaks himself and briefly crosses paths with Caroline aka Oliver Thompson when she is speaking to one of his targets a bartender named Charlie. After Caroline leaves Alistair appears before Charlie and grants his wish as he was thinking how he wished he looked like Caroline. Alistair transforms him into her spitting image so long as he promises not to try and steal her identity and memory alters everyone so he (now she) can live as her true self. A gorgeous women named Charlotte. Charlotte thanks him in tears and he flies off to find more targets in the area.
A bit after this time Alistair came to offer Chris an Apprenticeship upon Isabelle's suggestions and insistence. Though he pretty much botched his first test to cure one cursed person it's later revealed Alistair did take Chris in as his third apprentice along side Isabelle and Ashley after a lot of hard work to prove himself.
=== The Night Is Young ===
When Jessica Young begins her vigilante career as the Pink Knight she sneaks into Isabelle's stores of spell books as she needs a book on Mass Memory Alter to put her full plan into motion. When she attempts to get it however Alistair and Izzy teleport into the apartment and she tries to hide. Alistair is quick to sense her and when she reveals herself once again disguises himself as Isabelle's brother. He then asks to talk to Jessica in private after noticing the spell book in her bag. Alistair at first reminds her that its unwise to skip ahead in magic training but when she explains her need for it he agrees to let her keep it for one week and return for it himself. 
A week later he meets Jessica to retrieve the book and impressed she managed to get through nearly half of it. After seeing her success he agrees to go out for a while with her to test her and see her skills. Jessica gets a bit flirty with him and her demonstration of the magic much to his confusion. He reluctantly plays the part of her valentines date to her friend Ling and joins her for a game of mini golf. Alistair is poorly skilled as he's never played golf in any form before but Jessica gives him some pointers. She eventually points out how she can sense the statue within him and how he's actually a construct. Alistair says its a sensitive matter but after assessing Jessica and seeing her noble drive and skills begins to consider her for a new protégé.
Though Alistair leaves soon after he tells Chris and Isabelle about Jessica and her Pink Knight career and asks Izzy to spy on her a bit to be certain she isn't going to far. After Izzy tells him she's doing good and she even came close to catching her spying on her Alistair arranges to watch the next sparing match between Jessica and Chris to make another assessment himself. When Jessica finally wins and learns the truth of Alistair and Izzy watching her Alistair reveals himself and praises her growing skills. Though he says she hasn't quite proven worthy of an apprenticeship yet he does agree to tell her the truth of who he is and what he and his other apprentices actually do. He then teleports them both the island to explain.
After explaining his full back story to Jessica and who and what he really is he offers her a few tasks to do on the island she can do to try and show him her skills and possibly earn an apprenticeship. He puts her to work organizing his libraries and some of his collected magical artifacts which she does rather well thanks to being so literate. After a short time Alistair sees that Jessica has great potential and even seems to be taking an interest in his more personal history. He finally offers her a final test for an apprenticeship in assigning her to cure a cursed target. He joins her on her mission originally only intending to observe her but as the target is in a yoga studio Jess convinces him to join her as a participant in construct form. Though Alistair is bit confused and slightly offset by Jessica's clear interest in him he agrees and watches Jessica perform the cure and memory alter easily. Though he himself struggles to properly do Yoga even in construct form he admires Jessica's work and after the class ends and the curse is collected he inducts her as his forth Apprentice and the two begin their lessons. 
(to be continued) 
=== Stealing From Sis: Wedding Bells ===
On another of his missions, six years after curing the Wright twins Alistair arrives targeting their twin cousins Michael and Hannah. However his arrival is very bad timing as Hannah is set to marry Michael's best friend Dylan in a week. Regardless of this and a bit of protest from Mariah when she spots him in the trees, Alistair fully transforms the twins into each other and leaves planning to return for the curse orbs later when they fully dislodge. As the Wright family's curses tend to be a bit stubborn. He also leaves the twins with a few improvements as a way of helping them adjust.
Around 5 days later Alistair returns and appears to Mariah, Tyler, Hannah and Michael all together. Having come to accept their new lives Hannah and Michael thank him as he introduces himself properly for the first time. He is then able to remove the twins orbs easily and is glad they came to accept it so quickly. Moments later however their parents Elliot and Terresa arrive in the room and spot the statue. Alistair then reveals he hasn't just returned to collect the twins orbs and by some rare occurrence both of their parents actually share their problem. He then transforms both of them and is able to quickly remove their orbs as both of them had already felt and identified as the other gender inside and knew each other felt the same way as well. Alistair apologizes for disturbing a family moment but after the new Evelyn and Terrance leave he says good by to the kids, bit Hannah graciously invites him to the wedding before he teleports away.
The next day Alistair attends Hannah’s wedding much to her surprise. He casually floats far in the back in his statue form watching the ceremony and even saw fit to wear a black bowtie even in his statue form. As the reception ends he watches the newlyweds off on their honeymoon happy to see another several happily cured of their curses. 
==== Multiple One-Shots ====
Though the exact placement In the SF timeline varies and are unspecified Alistair appears in multiple One-Shot animations usually as a supporting character. Traditionally these depict him curing a victim(s) of the Gender Curse in some setting as seen in the one shots “Dreams do Come True”, “Two for One”, and “Hard Bodies” with only the occational hint as to when these events fall compared to other animation series. Such as the one shot “Wish in the Classroom: redux” being revealed to take place during the same time as “The Night is Young” series. Or “Foxtrot” taking place between episodes of the “Too Good to put down” series. His role in these however are usually focused on curing someone of a Gender Curse as part of his long mission. 
=== Awakening ===
placeholder
== Personality ==
While there is a lot about Alistair that is mysterious and secretive, he is an extremely wise and powerful man. His greatest flaw however seems to be his own stubbornness as he has admitted his many centuries of self-imposed isolation and focus on the mission to clean up the Gender Curse himself was a form of both self-punishment and stubbornness on not accepting help from others. He was initially hesitant to take Isabelle as an apprentice not only because of her own immaturity at the time but also his own obsession with fixing the problem of the Cursed himself. Even when he had estimated his mission would not be completed until the year 2540 if he continued his current progress on his own Alistair was fully prepared to live as a statue for that much longer in order to complete his mission himself. This shows that despite his great wisdom and compassion his stubbornness and self-disgust for his past mistakes often left him blinded to having any form of companionship or better interacting with others.
Despite his stubbornness Alistair has shown to be very caring and protective of his friends and allies since once again learning to trust others with his secret and share his own burdens.
=== The Mad Fox ===
Alistair may have long seen the error of his past mistakes but there seems to be at least a small part of his mind that remains corrupted and malevolent that we see in the comic "Fractured". This so-called "Mad Fox" is much more focused on making those who have wronged him suffer in the form of the four men who smashed his statue form.
== Relationships ==
=== Sylvana Huntington ===
placeholder
=== Isabelle Arrington ===
Though he is technically her "Super" Great Grandfather, Alistair has developed more of an older sibling-like relationship with Isabelle in addition to their Master and Student relationship. While not inherently acting as a father figure he still cares for her deeply and is very protective of her when she faces danger. When they first meet Alistair feels that Isabelle is far too immature to even speak to beyond scolding her for her careless misuse of magic but after she proves she wants to change and wishes to better herself he is much more willing to accept her as his apprentice and after a time inducts her as such. While they both have developed a strong Teacher-Student bond at a professional level, the two of them seem to eventually develop more of a sibling bond at the personal level with Isabelle tending to joke with him on occasion and Alistair returning the sentiments with a bit more condescension.
=== Cinder Isle group ===
Alistair has developed a close knit friendship with the four Non-Bloods Zack Houlton, Gaela Scarborough, Natalie Pembroke, and Shane Gardiner. After these four revived him after his attempted suicide in 1996 he at first did not trust them with the whole truth and focused more on fixing the mess he had created by accident. But after the Quad proves themselves noble and trustworthy by working hard to help their town from the T1G1 virus and keeping Alistair's existence secret while they put him back together, he at last trusts them with the full story and after he cures the virus and alters the memories of it across the world his befriending the Quad opens him up to having friends again and he agrees to visit them on occasion instead of self-isolating himself. Their friendship also helped him find a new light in life after his suicide attempt. While to date none of his visits to the Quad between 1997 and 2018 have been seen it has been mentioned he paid them the occasional visit and even gave Gaela a book on Sorcery and Magical practices for her own study and amusement.
== Abilities/Powers ==
Alistair is one of if not the most powerful sorcerer known in the Sapphire Foxx Universe. His power even in his statue form has only ever been truly rivaled by his wife Sylvana as it is eventually revealed she and Alistair both used powerful blood magics to graft a second Mana Mark onto each other thus increasing their own power off the scale. Because of his advanced age Alistair has knowledge of very old magical practices and has studied practically all known practices of sorcery. He is shown to also have knowledge of even the most forbidden and dangerous forms of magic such as Blood Magic and Necromancy. He has even taught Isabelle (and possibly his other apprentices) certain spells in these practices but makes it clear they are only ever to be used in life and death situations.
Alistair also has a more advanced knowledge of Blood magic as he knows that the blood required for certain powerful blood spells does not need to be taken all at once at the cost of other living beings or people and can instead be taken gradually and pooled over time like making blood donations. However, in his cursed statue form he himself has not real blood thus despite his advanced knowledge of the practice he himself cannot use his own blood for any form of blood magic.
In terms of other more common practices of magic, Alistair is considered a tier 10 sorcerer, the Highest possible level known in sorcerer society. Even in his statue form that is meant to greatly impeded and weaken his natural power he is able to cast high level spells such as Mass Memory Alter almost effortlessly. Using other relics such as a Crystal Ball he also seems to have a form of Clairvoyance and can spy on practically anyone around the world with ease. He also seems to possess a degree of precognition and see at least glimpses of possible futures based on his creating images of possible future events for some of his targets like Jamie McCarthy. He is most skilled in transformation and teleportation magics. He can move around the world through magic teleports with ease and transform others at various rates based off how embedded their curse is or how gradually he judges they will need to adjust to their altered bodies. He can also read Non-blood minds and cast placating spells like Pacify almost innately but as he feels messing with people’s minds too much is immoral he tries to use this power only when needed. 
in his statue form despite his power being greatly reduced Alistair is able to manifest tremendous power over magic. While his statue form does grant him immortality it also has other draw backs other than reduced power. He’s stated that in this form he has no real sensations other than sight and hearing. He also does not require and is unable to sleep, eat, or breathe. He seems to circumvent the need/desire for sleep with regular meditation in his statue form and at least seems to display the power to effectively turn off his sight as hinted by his statue form eyes glowing and blackening at his will. He can also conjure a construct body to inhabit and live vicariously through usually in the form of a fox or a modeled recreation of his human body, but he’s stated that no matter how advanced and convincing a construct he creates the body is little more than a vessel and “doesn’t feel real on his end”. He can either inhabit the construct by remote while his statue body sits nearby or in fact fuse his statue body within it, but this is easy detectable by the properly trained sorcerer.
