Alister, known in Japan as Amelda, is one of the main antagonists in the Waking the Dragons story arc of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime.
He does not exist in the manga. His dub name was based on Aleister Crowley, the British occultist who created the Unicursal Hexagram, the symbol used for "The Seal of Orichalcos". The obscurity of this fact is most likely what helped it slip past the censors.
Alister often quarrels with Valon over whose target is stronger. Alister also bought over half of Seto Kaiba's company but it's unclear whether he used Maximillion Pegasus's money or money from the Doma corporation.
He also has a habit of making fun of the lesser members of Doma by calling them names such as "geezer" and "old man" for Grerimo, "twerps" and "nimrods" for Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood and "Little Miss Loudmouth" for Mai Valentine.
Design
Alister's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the duelist in "Doma Swordsman" regalia from front, rear and alongside views and alongside views of his head from different angles.
Alister's usual outfit consists of a large open full-body coat with padded shoulders and belted sleeves, a cropped top and fingerless gloves with studded knuckles. His Orichalcos Stone is worn on a piece of lace around his neck. He carries a Chaos Duel Disk.
Biography
When Alister was a child, the country he lived in was torn apart by war. In the dub, KaibaCorp bought the land from the city. When the residents refused to leave, Gozaburo Kaiba decided to force them out. Many were forced to dig tunnels and steal food to survive.
Alister and his brother managed to survive. In the original Japanese, there was a war going on between two countries and Gozaburo Kaiba supplied the weapons to both sides. In the English Version, Alister's brother, Mikey, was eventually captured.
In the Japanese version, his brother was killed when the tank he was in blew up. Alister has hated Seto Kaiba ever since and has designated him as his target. Dartz found him and offered him the chance to join his organization.
Unknown to Alister, Dartz had disguised himself as Gozaburo Kaiba and was responsible for the attack. One of Alister's treasured keepsakes is his brother's broken action figure, Dyna Dude, from the monster "Air Fortress Ziggurat" (For this monster, Dyna Dude is a robot token).
Alister is involved in two Duels, both of which are against Seto Kaiba. In the first one, Alister disguises himself as Maximillion Pegasus and challenges Kaiba. Halfway through the duel, Alister pulls off his disguise and reveals his true identity and motivation.
The Duel ends in a draw. In the second duel, Alister disguises himself as a pilot and takes off with Kaiba on board. Halfway through the flight, Alister puts the plane on autopilot and challenges Kaiba again.
Alister loses the Del and his soul but regains it when Dartz is defeated. He is seen at the end of the Dawn of the Duel arc, most likely searching for survivors from his town (or in the dub, his family).
He has another possible appearance at the end of the Grand Championship arc in the background by the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the celebrations of Yugi Muto's victory over Leon von Schroeder.

Alister utilizes three Decks during the series, one of them being a Toon Deck since he was masquerading as Maximillion Pegasus when Seto Kaiba came to confront him.
It is likely that this is Pegasus' own deck. The Toon monsters that Alister Summons are powerful, with their immunity to destruction in battle and their ability to assault Kaiba directly, as his "Toon Dark Magician Girl" does.
After Kaiba destroys "Toon World" with "A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon", Alister reveals himself and begins to use his second deck, a FIRE Deck from his own Chaos Duel Disk.
Alister's Fire Deck is largely based on one card: "Gorlag", who can re-summon any monster it destroys under Alister's control and turn them into FIRE monsters. Furthermore, "Gorlag" gains 500 Attack Points for every FIRE monster on the field.

| Seto Kaiba | 166-167 | Lose |
When Alister next encounters Kaiba, he uses a Machine-orientated Army Deck, which uses cards to reflect the incident that happened in Alister's past where KaibaCorp-financed troops destroyed his village and killed his brother.
Using cards such as "KC-1 Crayton" and "Spell Canceller", Alister attempted to remove any sort of strategy Kaiba could throw at him.
When Kaiba begins to make another comeback, Alister Summons "Air Fortress Ziggurat", his most powerful monster with 2500 ATK, further enhanced to 3000 via "The Seal of Orichalcos". Furthermore, it spawns a "Robot Token", reminiscent of his brother's favorite toy at the start of every turn.
