Description
Galius En Cordbal is a prominent character from the Holy Eldant Empire, serving as a distant relative and one of the closest supporters of the young Empress, Petralka Anne Eldant III. He holds a high-ranking ministerial position with significant influence over the empire's diplomatic and military affairs, wielding power akin to a supreme commander of the armed forces. His authority is demonstrated by his role in issuing the special magic rings used by the protagonists.
Physically, Galius is described as a very handsome young man who presents an elegant and imposing figure at the imperial court. He has distinctive purple hair and green eyes. His personality is marked by a calm and confident demeanor, coupled with natural charisma that makes him a respected leader. One of his defining personal traits is his open lack of interest in women, clearly stating his preference for men.
Before the events of the series, Galius's family and Petralka's family were bitter rivals in a succession struggle for the imperial throne. This conflict resulted in mutual losses that led to the deaths of both sets of parents, ultimately leaving Petralka to ascend the throne while Galius remained in his position as regent. Despite this violent history, he harbors no personal ambition for the throne and instead views Petralka as a precious younger relative needing protection, serving as a stable pillar of support for her reign.
Galius's role in the story centers on his function as a key administrator and protector of the empire, particularly in overseeing the government's interaction with the cultural exchange initiative from Japan. Initially, he was dismissive and skeptical of otaku culture, viewing it with distance and prejudice. However, his perspective changes significantly after witnessing a confrontation where Empress Petralka uses harsh words against the half-elf Myucel Foaran; it is Galius who intervenes to stop the empress, and this event opens his eyes to a new way of thinking. He subsequently abandons his former prejudices and develops a keen personal interest in otaku culture, becoming an enthusiastic reader of yaoi (boys' love) literature.
His key relationships are defined by his interactions with the main cast. He works alongside Lord Chancellor Saishou Zakhar to help govern the empire. He demonstrates a special and pronounced interest in the protagonist, Shinichi Kanou, showing a clear personal attraction to him. This interest also extends to his perceptiveness regarding Kouryuu Ayasaki, as he immediately sees through the character's androgynous appearance to correctly identify Kouryuu as male. He also shares his appreciation for yaoi with the otaku-focused character Minori Koganuma.
In terms of abilities, Galius is exceptionally skilled in both diplomatic and military strategy, managing state affairs with shrewdness and balance. His charisma and sharp insight make him an invaluable figure in governance, allowing him to navigate court factions, including the lingering political tensions between his family's remaining supporters and those of the empress. His character demonstrates a notable capacity for growth, as he is able to re-evaluate his deeply held cultural prejudices and integrate new interests into his life without compromising his core duties as a powerful minister and protector of the empire.
