Alou is the deity of beginnings, discoveries, and curiosity. He is widely seen as a playful benefactor who enjoys pulling pranks on his divine siblings. The manner in which he behaves can be rather child-like and innocent, and he often finds himself in difficult situations where he requires help. It's debatable how much of this is an act, though, as many deities have testified to seeing Alou's razor sharp wits in action when he is under pressure. Alou wears a coat with supposedly infinite pockets, and it's said that staring into his gaze for too long is incredibly dangerous. He excels at creating mosaics. His closest friends are Lece and Mesalc.
Alou's symbols are quartz, the butterfly, and the kaleidoscope. His armament of choice are throwing knives and various other thrown weapons.
