an
individual who helps or cooperates with another; a supporter or
associate; a friend. In
Dianetics, it basically means someone who protects a person who is in a weak
state and becomes a very strong influence over the person. The weaker person, such as a child even
partakes the
characteristics of the
ally s o that one may find that a person who has for instance a bad leg, has it because a protector or
ally in his youth had a bad leg.
