Annalisa
Vasco has been Annalisa and your House's steward for many years. She trusts him to hold the magical charm gifted to the House by Queen Kendra, the Jade Mirror, which he presents to you.

Your Character
"Birthrights and blood be damned! This is not about lineage, it is about 'family!'"

- Vasco to Your Character

You have known Vasco since you were a little girl, and he remembers you hiding books in your lap so you could read them during dinnertime. When your sister falls unconscious and unable to wake, he pleads for you to assume the Head of House mantel and does not look down upon your lack of heritage and the fact that you were adopted. It appears that the thought of your aunts becoming Head of House never crosses his mind.

Your House Cub
In Chapter 3, if you decide not to become the cub's new "mother", Vasco takes responsibility of the cub.
