Gesegnet mit einem ungewöhnlich schönen Schnurrbart, einem Sinn für kunstvoll gemixte Cocktails – vor allem aber mit einem einzigartigen magischen Talent. Er schreibt mit Geheimtinte kraftvolle Zaubersprüche. Und als ehrbarer Schotte setzt er alles daran, unsere Welt vor den schurkischen Knechten verschiedener Pantheons zu beschützen, im Besonderen vor Feenwesen, die alles andere als nett sind. Traurig, aber wahr: Al ist auch verflucht. Jeder, der seine Stimme hört, geht sofort mit unvorstellbarem Hass auf ihn los. So kann er nur schriftlich oder mit Sprach-Apps kommunizieren.
