According to the sources, Ahmed al-Badawī was born in Fes, Morocco to a Bedouin tribe originally from the Syrian Desert. He became famous as the founder of the Badawiyyah order of Sufism and eventually settled for good in Tanta, Egypt in 1236. Over time he developed a posthumous reputation as one of the greatest saints in the Arab world, and his tomb in Tanta has remained a major site of visitation for Sufis in the region (Wikipedia; Archive listing referencing Hasluck).
The provided sources do not supply physical descriptions or descriptions of apparitional form for Ahmed al-Badawī. Existing material emphasizes his historical identity as a Sufi sheikh and the continuing popularity of his tomb rather than details of appearance (Wikipedia; Archive listing).
The supplied materials frame Ahmed al-Badawī in historical and institutional terms: as a Sufi mystic who founded the Badawiyyah order and as a focus of popular devotion whose tomb attracts pilgrims. Sources describe his fame and posthumous reputation as a major saint in the Arab world and note the tomb's role as a major site of visitation; the excerpts do not provide specific folkloric accounts of miracles, interventions, or other supernatural powers (Wikipedia; Archive listing).
Ahinoam
Ahinoam (Hebrew: אֲחִינֹעַם, ăḥīnōʿam) is a personal name borne by one or possibly two women in the Hebrew Bible associated with the royal households of Saul and David. In the biblical narratives she appears as a wife and mother within the social world of ancient Israelite monarchy and is involved in episodes such as the Amalekite raid on Ziklag; scholars debate whether the references designate the same woman or distinct individuals from different narrative strands.

Ahiravan (also Mahiravan) is a rakshasa-king of Patala in Ramayana-derived narratives who abducts Rama and Lakshmana to sacrifice them to a goddess. Presented as a brother or trusted ally of Ravana in eastern Ramayana recensions, he is defeated and beheaded by Hanuman with divine aid.

Ahitophel
Ahitophel is a biblical-era human counselor to King David famed for exceptional wisdom in the Hebrew Bible and later rabbinic literature. In the biblical narrative he defects to Absalom during the prince's revolt and his counsel nearly topples David; rabbinic traditions further portray him as a gifted but morally compromised sage who misuses divinely granted knowledge.
Ahitub
Ahitub (Hebrew: אֲחִיטוּב ’Aḥiṭub/’Aḥiṭuv, 'my brother is goodness') is a name borne by one or more Israelite priests attested in biblical genealogies and later reference works. In the source tradition he functions as a member and ancestral node within the hereditary Aaronic/priests lists (connections variously include son of Phinehas, grandson of Eli, and ancestor of Zadok and of Ezra), and is treated as a human priestly figure rather than a supernatural being.
Ahkiyyini
Ahkiyyini is described in available sources as a skeleton spirit in Inuit folklore, called "the ghost of Alaska" in one account. Accounts report that his movements and the music made with his bones cause tidal waves, earthquakes, and could overturn boats.

Ahmose‑Nefertari was an 18th‑Dynasty Egyptian queen who, after her death, received institutionalized cult worship and was venerated in the Theban necropolis and Deir el‑Medina. Sources present her both as a historically attested royal (great royal wife and king's mother) and as a deified figure given epithets such as 'Goddess of Resurrection', 'Mistress of the Sky', and 'Lady of the West'.
Ahoshta
Ahoshta is a fictional Calormene nobleman in C. S. Lewis's The Horse and His Boy storyline, chiefly known as the intended husband of Aravis and as a named figure mentioned in Calormene court discussions. He is portrayed as a mortal member of Calormene aristocracy rather than a supernatural being.
Ahriman (Angra Mainyu)
Angra Mainyu (Middle Persian Ahriman) is the hypostasis or personification of destructive, deceitful, and disordering mentality in Zoroastrian tradition. In the earliest (Gathic) layer it is presented as a choiceful destructive mainyu opposed to the constructive Spenta Mainyu; in later Pahlavi exegesis it becomes a personified cosmic antagonist who nevertheless is described as ontologically deficient and non-divine.
Ahti (Ahto)
Ahti (also Ahto) is a Finnish water haltija — a named supernatural proprietor of the sea and aquatic resources who appears in Kalevala-derived epic material, regional runic fishing songs, and healing spells. He functions as a sea-king/sea-god figure, provider of fish and other water-given wealth, and a ritual addressee in practical subsistence and healing contexts.

In the supplied sources, no supernatural entity named "Ahtola" is attested in the Kalevala or other Finnish mythic texts. The name Ahtola appears in the source set only as a modern Finnish surname and a place-name; the closely related mythic figure attested in the material is Ahti/Ahto, a Finnish water god associated with the sea.
