Allik is a cheerful, spindly Malwish airman from the Southern Continent, instantly recognizable by his bright red mask flecked with yellow paint that he habitually pushes up to reveal an eager, toothy grin. First introduced as a crew member aboard the Malwish airship that rescued Wax and Marasi, he becomes a fixture in Elendel by the events of The Lost Metal, serving as a junior goodwill ambassador and living under Waxillium Ladrian's roof. After years of flirtation, he and Marasi Colms have been formally dating for two years, and his Malwish knowledge and specialized technology prove valuable as she confronts the Set's threats to the Basin.
Description
Allik is a short, spindly man with a somewhat embarrassing beard and a bright toothy grin. He wears a bright red mask with yellow paint flakes radiating from the center, frequently raising or lowering it to show his eager expressions, which the mask design makes resemble a face sweating sunlight. An adult human man with a cloth mask, worn over his face or pushed up on top of his head. When the mask is raised, he shows a wide, cheerful grin; his animated posture and lively expression suit his perky, friendly manner. His hair, complexion, build, and other clothing are not established in the available descriptions.
