Gael Squirrelking ruled Southsward from Castle Floret, until he was tricked into letting the Urgan Nagru and his mate Silvamord with their evil vermin horde in. He and his family were then taken prisoner. His family escaped with the help of Rab Streambattle, Iris Streambattle, and their otter crew. Gael was recaptured, unable to get out quick enough, but later escaped the dungeons along with Mariel Gullwhacker, Meldrum, Dandin, and Glokkpod the shrike. His wife was Squirrelqueen Serena, and his son was Truffen.
