Jala was a Mal'akh grotesque who was allied with Merytra Ellainya. Abelard Finton poetically described Jala as looking like a "pale, bloated, monstrous carcass".
In 1763, Jala hid in Posto di Foraggio by allowing himself to be exhibited by Don Escuro as the "Great Ape of Posto di Foraggio". (AUDIO: Coming to Dust)
