Aleyn is an imprisoned child in Yew. Shortly before Ultima V, his father Mario had neglected to say that he could only give 40% of his earnings to charity (50% being the law). They tortured him cruelly before putting him in stocks on the town square together with Aleyn (for not turning in his father), leaving them to die from starvation. When the Avatar found him, Aleyn was already so weak, that he was in serious danger of dying. The Avatar showed Compassion and Justice, jimmying the locks of Mario's and Aleyn's stocks in an unseen moment, allowing them to escape the city.
