Allister

Author of the Cookbook's 13th edition, whose notes correct the earlier recipes: the fifteen-second inventory wait is gone, backpacks still keep explosives stable — until Forkith's note beneath it says they only slow the loss.

First appears: Book 3

Series arc

Through book 7

A note on protection spells — Immortality shields from death but not from pain; pair it with Numb (B7 ch. 54) — whose image of the crushed-but-living plays out the same chapter.

Through book 3

One correction appended to Rosetta's madness-satchel note: the fifteen-second inventory wait is gone, backpacks still stabilise (B3 ch. 13).

Through book 4

His Cookbook is a T'Ghee card deck from a meditation-based religion; he leaves it on the bed when he uses the marketplace, and records that Batbilge's warning was Batbilge's last entry (B4 ch. 3).

Through book 5

A note on the seventh floor's vampires read through his deck's Plague Bearer and Blood Hunter cards: fast, intelligent, avoid them (B5 ch. 45).

Through book 6

Carl's knowledge of T'Ghee comes from Allister (B6 ch. 1); a note on the Semeru dwarves' single goddess, the Downward Spiral, and his own card The Inevitable (B6 ch. 64).
