Biography

Creation of the alternate reality

The alternate reality was created by Alti, after tampering with Typhuss's fate as a hero, to prevent Typhuss from joining Xena and Gabrielle as heroes in the original reality.

Powers and abilities

• Shamanism: As a shamaness, most of Alti's powers come from her mastery over this craft. She has a great knowledge of the work being able to create tools, summon and communicate with spirits, cast curses, and travel to the spirit world. In the spirit world, she has near ultimate power, being only limited by her imagination. She draws strength for her shamanism through fear.
• Time reaching: This is Alti's primary and more unique ability. With only a glare, she is able to reach through a person's past and make them experience it again in the present. Any wounds they suffer through this are all in the mind, but the pain remains very real. Through touch, however, Alti is able to reach into a person's future as well and when doing this, their wounds become physical. This was shown when she made Xena experience her crucifixion and her hands had puncture holes from the nails.
• Prophecy: Alti is able to foretell the future with great accuracy. She used this to predict Xena becoming the Destroyer of Nations and how she would do it. She is also able to predict a person's future through her time reaching.
• Astral projection: This is the ability to expel her spirit from her body. Although invisible and unable to touch those on the physical plane, she can fly, spy on others, cast curses, travel to the spirit world, and possess other living beings.
• Possession: In spirit form, Alti can possess other living creatures. She was shown doing this to a horse and a spider. Through the creature she is able to use her ability to reach through time.
• Super speed: When Alti became extremely powerful due to her tapping into the power of both worlds, she gained the ability to move at extreme speeds. When doing this, she can move great distances in the blink of an eye.
• Reincarnation: Due to her mastery over the spirit world, Alti is able to reincarnate into her next lifetime with all of the knowledge and skill she had in previous lives. She is even able to choose which body to reincarnate into by taking the souls away from unborn children and replacing it with her own. This is probably how she avoids any cosmic judgement to the afterlife as well, allowing her to reincarnate indefinitely.
• Morphing: In the year 2001, Alti was shown being able to morph her clothing. After doing this, she was recognized as Alti. Whether this skill also allowed her to hide her physical appearance or not is unknown.
• Combat: As a former Amazon, Alti is expertly trained in hand to hand combat. Although not as skilled with weapons, she has been shown going toe to toe with Xena in many battles, nearly matching her in skill.
