Gaius claimed that King Alined was a cowardly, but clever man and he was willing to use magic in order to stir up hostilities in Camelot. He was cruel and unreasonable to Trickler, but also said that he would cast his fingers in gold if he succeeded in creating a war. Alined was furious when his plan failed and forced Trickler to run back to his kingdom tied to a horse, a feat that Trickler considered impossible. Alined also appeared to be a fairly skilled actor, since he was able to keep up the pretence of a peaceful king, though his act slipped when his plan to create a war failed. Arthur noticed this, but Alined quickly told him that he loved peace. Alined is the king of a kingdom in the country of Albion.
