Ascal is the youngest of the Gallae family, a wealthy family who was recently raised to nobility. They hold a small bit of land within the lands overseen by the Polaret family. While Ascal is blindly smart, he is not the best in social situations so he leaves most of the talking to his elder brother, Niedox. Ascal manages much behind the scenes, overseeing the earnings and other paperwork that is required for running their parcel of land. He has a desperate want to prove himself and his family as good enough to stand among the long-term royals.
