</infobox>

Alister Behaim is a young member of the Behaim Circle who is a potential candidate to be backed by the elders in the contest for the lordship of Jacob's Bell. Seen as one of the assets like Laird Behaim who aren't bound by the same oaths as the rest of them, Ben Behaim and Gloria Behaim find him too risky to back.

Appearance

He has the Behaim look, dark haired, with very strong features, a little taller than average. His features, though, weren’t so blocky as the other Behaims. Strong cheekbones and a prominent chin and an odd face shape.

He wore a leather jacket with a heavy wool scarf tucked inside it and from the way his hair was styled, the narrow jeans, the shiny black boots, Blake assumes he was a Toronto resident, not a kid who’d lived in a small town all his life. His eyes are a bottle-glass green.

Personality

He's seen as a risk, telling small lies to the elder and making statements based on what he foresees through Tarot Cards but having talent and ambition to put the Behaim into a higher position. He prefers proper games of skill and is confident in his abilites, even if smug about it. He deals with direct statements because spirits prefer it since it makes things easier for it to arbitrate, earning their favor and thus making the predictions more likely to come to pass, but expends power in manipulating time for his favor.

Chronology

Malfeasance

When Blake arrives to at the junior council meeting to challenge him with a formal declaration of war to stop him from attacking the Hillglades House, having already foreseen this using Tarot Cards and accept the challenge. He chooses a challenge because the cards show him that while Blake has killed before he would prefer it done peacefully an address Evan and Blake as a pair. The two agree to the terms and Alister predicts based on the cards that Rose would send backup and even if he won things wouldn't work out as he hoped.

Evan and Blake challenge him on his predictions, with Evan striking him once to challenge him on his statement about watching out for his eyes, but Alister reverses the damage by manipulating time and then summons Tick to hold off Evan. Blake jumps through the mirrors and cuts down Tick, before using the Hyena as the means to challenge his words about the challenge leaving no permenant damage and scaring him. This empowers Blake by his nature and he sends Evan off to try and stall Rose's reinforcements while he explains that while Alister was born with the right talent and into the right family, he was a Behaim and Blake had already beaten Laird and Duncan using the Rule of Three, meaning if he did the same by drawing his cards that let him forsee the future and the warning that came with the blade a third time he would lose.

Blake uses sympathetic magic to manipulate the Hyena after tossing it through the mirror to attack him, intent on causing a minor wound that, if he couldn't heal, would render his statement false and offend the spirits for lying or force him to use his implement and foresee the same card as before to result in the same. But the challenge eventually comes to a draw due to the intervention of Sandra Duchamp and Eblis, a guest of Johannes, due to her sensing the bogeymen that Rose sensed moving before night fell. Alister goes off to class while Blake and Evan depart back to the Hillglades House.
