Griffith Aquilos is the older prince of the Fox Kingdom. He is the oldest child of the deceased Fox King and was supposed to be the one who was to first succeed his father's throne. However, not long before the King's unexpected death, he and his younger brother and sister were sent to the Dog Kingdom to settle some complications with a new trade route that had seemingly had no traffic since it was implemented. As they were headed down that very route, however, a dangerous band of unknowns had attacked him, his siblings, and his accompanying escort team. He had run for his life, escaping amidst all of the panic and confusion and leaving everyone else to fend for himself. No one but him survived, the band having made sure to clear out anyone left alive. Afterward, he ran off from the scene of the crime to a local town, doing his best to change his entire identity from the way he looks and dresses down to the way he talks. Ever since he had been trying to find out why he was attacked in the first place and how they knew he and his siblings would be passing by at that time.
