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. the unpeople (at least vhala) stop visibly aging, isn't a prerogative of the IK. i don't know if alonon is factual immortal (like a IK) or not, could or could be not, we will see.

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.

alonon teleporter ability is very voluntary he decide who and where the people will be teleported. the fact is the ability don't have resemblance with any 'know' magic. the alonon's ability include some sort of long range screening o mildly foresee, he know the problem to the border and send tyna there after mere moment the problem arise. he recognized immediatly the shard simon held, even the other most senior IK don't recognize him, you will say, at glance.

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.

the scrofula joke is a good joke, but it don't carries any meaningiful true.

But sitting in the sack means nothing. Death is preferable, but it also means nothing). he can abdicate if he can think the action will improve something in a meaningful way, but his will is utterly destroyed, why i rule, if nothing in the end matter?, why i should be care form my country if nothing in the end matter?, why i should abdicate if nothing in the end matter?
