Alahush is identified as chief of the Wang-Ku of the Yn-shan and as a traitor to the Kin. Beyond that brief historical notice, the account gives no fuller portrait of his life, motives, or fate.
Description
The text gives no physical description of Alahush, so his appearance cannot be established from the source. He is identified as a male chief of the Wang-Ku of the Yn-shan, but no details of his build, complexion, hair, eyes, face, or clothing are recorded. Any more specific visual portrait would be conjectural.
