Aldon's an old OC that I drew a very long time ago.
He's the father of 7 children, which is the reason why he's a "ghost". The Caphis family has a curse that causes each generation's 7th child's father to become a ghost and be forced to serve that child for as long as they live.
The reason for the curse has been long forgotten, but each father who's turned into a servant gets the gem that Aldon's currently wearing as a symbol of it's effects.
Enjoy!
