Queen Kendra
As the Queen's Shield, Crown Shield spent time in her service and got to know her. In Chapter 2, if asked, Crown Shield does not believe the Queen's death was his/her fault. ''"One guard, even the commander, cannot be everywhere at once." Crown Shield trusted his/her agents to protect her as he/she worked the Masquerade, just as he/she trusts said agents to protect The Regent'' when they are separated. Crown Shield states whoever killed Kendra was talented and knew how to get to her; and someday soon, he/she will know how to get to him.

Guards / Crew
Crown Shield holds all of the guards (including the crew of Teapot, Sunshine, and Frisk) in higher regard than his/her half-brother, Cyrus. Frisk jokes that it is Crown Shield 's fault for becoming captain that now he/she has to deal with all of the guards now, and cannot escape Frisk's antics.
