if alonon can die, i am not sure of this. there are some power in the world(s) how can make a mortal creature immortal. It would depend on how long it has been that Alonon has been "immortal", assuming that he is, but we have an absence of evidence in comparison to the Incubi that argues against this. No one has said anything to the effect that Alonon has stopped visibly aging, which is something that happens to all of the Incubi. Of course the Incubi can control their external appearance to some extent.

If Alonon was like Bilbo Baggins in that he hasn't aged outwardly for some time, that's the sort of thing that would become court gossip.

As many ridiculous jokes about Scrofula teleportation I make as a result having the Stannis Baratheon production of "Macbeth" in my rotation of favorite audiobooks, we know the king has some sort of intrinsic magic power, but apart from the fact that it lets him see through illusions and can involuntarily teleport others, we don't really know anything about where it comes from or whether it's related to the Incubus shards or whatever Riala has in her lab.

It's probably safe to say it's not related to his being King though, since Janine and her late husband don't have any such magical talents.
