Alador Blight

**Alador Blight** is a supporting character of *The Owl House*. He is the former chief engineer of Blight Industries, the ex-husband of Odalia Blight, and the father of Edric, Emira, and Amity Blight.

After realizing he was neglecting his children to the point of not realizing that Amity was in a relationship with Luz, Alador resolved to become a better father. Upon learning that the Day of Unity entailed the genocide of magickind, he discovered that Odalia was already entirely aware of this and colluded with Emperor Belos under the delusional belief that the Blights would be spared, leading him and Amity to disown her. He joined Amity's friend group, aiming to back Luz up in the head of the Titan, but was forced to stay behind due to the effects of the draining spell, leaving his current condition unknown.

## Appearance

### Body

Alador is a pale-skinned witch who has a disheveled look, unkempt hair with sideburns, hairy arms, and stubble. He has golden eyes and brown hair, like his younger daughter, Amity; he almost never smiles. Furthermore, he has the abomination symbol on his right arm, symbolizing his allegiance to the Abomination Coven.

### Clothing

Alador is dressed in a dark gray lab coat covered in stains from abomination projects, gray pants with black boots which are also stained, and he also wears golden goggles with purple lenses on his head.

As a teenager, he wore the Hexside student uniform with magenta sleeves and leggings as a member of the abomination track.

## Personality

Alador is a clumsy, easily distracted scientist. If something catches his attention, it can be quite hard for others to get him to focus on anything else. He doesn't seem to be very talkative, as he only speaks when necessary. When asked questions by others, such as Luz, he is as direct and concise as possible. Alador mostly lets his wife take the lead in situations, helping her with whatever she tells him to do, but he does have a limit. This is shown when Odalia tried to go back on her deal with Amity, and Alador reminded her that their family always honors their deals, indicating he has a sense of integrity and honor.

Alador also seems to object to his wife's willingness to put others in danger for profit. This is shown when an injured Luz claims the abomination-powered robot has more than proven its strength to the spectators, and Alador tells his wife that Luz "has a point". Alador cares about Amity, as well as her progress, indicated by his smiling when Amity stood up to Odalia and almost destroyed the abomination he created. This is also shown when Amity helps him take down Warden Wrath together, making a proud expression.

Although he does love them, Alador does not pay his children much heed, much to their frustration. This deeply strained his relationship with Amity, who seeks to prove her worth to him and to understand him better, especially when she finally reaches the age to compete in the Bonesborough Brawl. Alador, believing that his daughter has a bright future and shouldn't "goof off" like he did at her age, refuses to let her go to the brawl and willingly goes along with the notion that she needs to compete in the tryouts for the Emperor's Coven instead, under the belief that joining it is her dream. When he finds out that she disobeyed him, Alador is disappointed and furious with her, even remarking that she should go beg the Emperor's Coven for the next opportunity to participate in the tryouts. However, Amity soon teaches him that she needs to make decisions without him and Odalia butting in, which he accepts.

Alador expresses shock when he learns that Amity no longer wants to join the Emperor's Coven, in addition to the fact that she is dating Luz, realizing that he hardly pays his children any attention because he is too focused on making Abomatons. Feeling regret for how he treated Amity, Alador begins to see her for who she wants to be, admitting that he likes her new hair color and resolving to speak with Odalia about attempting to dye her hair green again. Although Amity doesn't fully forgive him, she appreciates that he's trying to be better, saying that "it's a start".

After getting on a new start with Amity, Alador slowly resolves to pay more attention to his children and defy his wife's control. Tired and overworked by Odalia, he reflects on his marriage, feeling miserable and unaccomplished. Eventually, Odalia's intentions on keeping Amity, Luz, and their friends prisoner while helping Belos exterminate their species for her own personal gain causes Alador to snap, and he finally stands up to Odalia, destroying the Blight Industries warehouse and disabling the rest of the Abomatons. He also quits his post at Blight Industries, showing that he is slowly developing and turning over a new leaf for the greater good. Alador also seems to have grown fond of Luz, inviting her to stay at Blight Manor anytime (although an illusion then reveals that Luz is actually Hunter, shocking him).

## Role in Jayson & Friends

Alador's role in Jayson & Friends is unknown. He spends most of his time in a old manor house, in one of the more quiet neighborhoods of Toonville, and invents things, and helps create ailments if paid to do so. He seems to have divorced or simply left behind Odalia (it is very unknown as Alador simply says that he wants nothing to do with her after what happened with the Day Of Unity). It is assumed he fled the Boiling Isles and somehow was able to buy out the house and now just stays there, watching in the shadows. He also seems to fear that Amaya's flirtiness might "grow stronger" and become something nobody can handle not even him and tells Jayson to "keep a close watch on her". Alador also tells Jayson that if anything goes wrong, that Jayson is welcome to ask him for help at any time, implying that he will return in future episodes. It is also implied, that his children (including Amity Blight) moved with Alador, and are currently living with him. Officially confirmed by a writer, that the Blights will get an episode dedicated to themselves, titled "Here Come The Blights, Again".
