## Role in the series

### Season One

Alador first appeared alongside his wife as a silhouette in "Understanding Willow". After Amity accidentally setting Willow's memories on fire, she and Luz were forced to go into her mind to repair them. They encountered Willow's "inner" self, who wanted to attack Amity. Before she could finish her off, Amity revealed the truth as to why she ended her friendship with her. Her parents did not want her to continue being friends with Willow due to their desire of keeping up their reputation. They arranged for Boscha and Skara, children of their coworkers, to be her new friends, and threatened to ensure that Willow would never be able to attend Hexside if she did not end her friendship with her.

Alador is seen again in a flashback among the crowd watching Eda and Lilith's witches duel in "Young Blood, Old Souls".

### Season Two

In "Escaping Expulsion", he and his wife are holding an expo for Blight Industries, his wife learns Amity has friends and he stands by as Odalia has Luz, Willow, and Gus expelled. In exchange for Luz helping out with the expo, Odalia agrees to let the three back into Hexside. Luz aides and he watches with his wife as Luz fights for her life. He eagerly watches as Amity holds her own against his creation. After Odalia tries to go back on her word, he berates his wife and says their daughter's friends give her strength. After the expo he and his wife are tasked by the Emperor to build an army exclusively for him.

in "Reaching Out", Alador has Amity go to tryouts for the Emperor’s Coven after she insists on participating in the Bonesburgh Brawl and becomes angry when he learns she disobeyed him. He and Amity fight off a mutated Warden Wrath and he starts to finally listen to her. He tries to hug her, but she shakes his hand instead.

In "Clouds on the Horizon" he becomes suspicious of the Day of Unity, but Odalia silences him. After vowing to become a better father, he learns the truth of the Day of Unity and becomes enraged after learning his wife knows and is willingly helping out. They fight and he destroys their factory. He goes with Amity and her friends to the head to save Hunter, really Luz in disguise.
