==Trivia==
* It is theorized by some of the nobles that he may have used magic despite the rumors that humans haven't had magic in 300 years. Annalisa however, said it was not magic that he cast, but he held a vial that released a strange fume; Vasco determined the fume was also made of Canterella.
* His crimes include murder, attempted murder, arson, conspiracy and treason.
