"Spellcheck!"
—Sir Alister, A Very Hungry Ghost

Sir Alister is a member of the Ghost Council and a major supporting character in The Ghost and Molly McGee.

Personality[]

As one of the most diplomatic ghosts in the Ghost World, Sir Alister seemed to take as much pride in his job-- degrading "friendly" ghosts and getting them banished to the Flow of Failed Phantoms-- as the other members, but there's a softer side to him: he loved music, especially from the lute, but he never followed his dream of playing it because others (the Chairman and his own father) didn't seem to approve.

Appearance[]

A male ghost with green ectoplasm and a wig, which is styled in a ponytail tied with a bow of matching color. In season 2, he temporarily gets a soul patch. He has pale yellow eyes overtop a black eye mask, with a set of wrinkles underneath.

History[]

In his human years (most likely 16th or 17th century Europe when lutes were as popular as electric guitars are today) Sir Alister spent his childhood wanting to learn music, but his disapproving father called him a, "foolish boy", and called the instrument a "boorish toy" and cut the strings in front of him to make a point. His spirit broken and scarred, Sir Alister took up a diplomatic job (most likely the kind of job his father wanted) and apparently did so well at it that he was knighted for his hard work, but he ended up dying with so much misery in him that the Chairman made him a member of the Ghost Council.

After the Chairman was destroyed, Sir Alister and the other Ghost Council members went to Scratch to ask what to do with themselves, and were given the advice to "Enjoy Your Afterlife". While the other three took enjoyment in their office jobs enough to think improving their working environment is "fun", Sir Alister was moved enough to confess his dreams and his father's horrible treatment against it, much to the shock of the others (especially Grimbella, who called Sir Alister's father a brute). Hearing that story, Scratch told him he should follow "stick it to his old man" and follow his dream of playing the lute and even go on tour in a lute shaped minivan.

Relationships[]

The Chairman[]

Not much is known about how Sir Alister (or any of the Ghost Council members), got on the Ghost Council in the first place, or any personal relations they had with the Chairman. But it is safe to assume that the Chairman and Sir Alister had some sort of connection, positive or negative. However, with the fact that the Chairman fed off of misery, it is unlikely that the connotations of their relationship were positive. But with the Chairman gone, that relationship no longer matters.

Lucretia[]

It is possible that out of all the Ghost Council members, Sir Alister favors Lucretia the most. As when either of them crack a joke about Scratch either one looks to each other, such as when in A Very Hungry Ghost when Sir Alister looked to Lucretia when he stated that Scratch, "forgot the 'E'", on his Scare Report, before the two laughed along with the others. As such, in Molly Vs. The Ghost World, when Lucretia asks what crime Scratch committed and then joked by sarcastically asking, "sleeping on the job?", she and Sir Alister looked at each other with endearing smiles. Along with this, in "The Curse", the two exit Haughty Haunts Club together without the other members of The Ghost Council, implying they were leaving to hang out together.

Grimbella[]

Such as Lucretia, it is possible that Sir Alister and Grimbella are also close, due to them sitting directly next to each other during the Thai food festival that takes place in A Very Hungry Ghost, along with during Enjoy your Afterlife, after Sir Alister told the group of his father's mistreatment of him, Grimbella rushed over and hugged him at the side, before calling Sir Alister father a brute. However, beyond that, there isn't much to their relationship.

Bartholomew[]

Out of all the Ghost Council members, Bartholomew seems to be the one Sir Alister is the least close with, as they don't have many close personal interactions together besides sitting across from one another during the Thai food festival. They don't seem to be on any negative terms, however, so at this point in time, their relationship is currently pretty neutral.

Scratch[]

Even before the story of the show, it is obvious that Sir Alister (and the rest of the Ghost Council by extension) don't really like Scratch all that much, with Sir Alister in particular calling Scratch disgusting in the first few minutes of their first interaction on screen together, but even so, in The Curse, Sir Alister did seem to be willing to assist Scratch with his problem, although throughout he did drop multiple snide comments and remarks. Despite Scratch's best friend causing the Chairman (aka, Sir Alister's boss) to literally explode, Sir Alister doesn't really seem to hold any resentment towards Scratch because of it, so little resentment in fact that he and the rest of the Ghost Council seek him out for advice. And Sir Alister is willing to tell Scratch of how hearing his interest in the lute being called dumb reminded him of his father, even telling Scratch that to his face. And after hearing the story Sir Alister told Scratch, Scratch is willing to help Sir Alister think of ways to accomplish his dream.

By the time of the events of Jinx Vs The Human World Sir Alister had warmed up to scratch and even realized he hesitantly considered him a friend.
