Claster Glassred

**Claster Glassred** was a marquis of the Glassred Family and the father of Gumina Glassred. Betrothing his daughter to Duke Sateriasis Venomania, he was horrified to learn that Sateriasis' family had been slaughtered and subsequently went mad after the same happened to his own household. After the Venomania Incident, he fled to Elphegort with his daughter, her bodyguard Carol Shields, and the remnants of their staff.

## History

### Early Life

Claster was born into the aristocratic Glassred Family in Asmodean around late EC 96. As he grew up, his parents taught him to never expect to climb the political ladder due to his race. Despite this, his family achieved further prosperity when Claster's sister Costa married Duke Ilotte Venomania and bore his child, Sateriasis. Hoping to further cement the link between the two families, Claster and his wife betrothed their daughter Gumina to her cousin Sateriasis when the two were children.

### Venomania Incident

In December of EC 135, when the entire Venomania household was massacred except for the amnesiac Sateriasis, Claster was put in charge of his territory until the duke regained his memories. As Sateriasis continued to seclude himself within the Venomania Mansion, the marquis visited him on several occasions, quarreling with him over his irresponsible behavior. Later the following year, Claster began investigating the disappearances of a handful of women in the Asmodean region. At the same time, he also learned that his nephew had finally begun to leave the mansion and allow others to enter his home. Deciding that Sateriasis was finally beginning to heal, Claster resolved to visit him along with his daughter Gumina.

Arriving at the mansion, the marquis barged inside and greeted Sateriasis before settling down to talk with him. After giving a report on the disappearance cases, the conversation turned to the duke's memories with Gumina. Learning that Sateriasis still hadn't fully recovered, Claster questioned having Gumina live with the duke before being talked out of it. They then agreed to heave Gumina regularly visit Sateriasis in the hopes that it would trigger his lost memories.

With that, Claster and his daughter took their leaves; soon after, the marquis made arrangements for Gumina to be accompanied by her bodyguard, Carol Shields, to every meeting with Sateriasis. In March of EC 136, Claster and his wife left to visit relatives in Elphegort, returning later to find that both his daughter and Carol were missing, with the rest of the household slaughtered. Going mad from grief, the governance of his territory was given over to his nephew. After Sateriasis was killed and Gumina and Carol were freed from his control, they suffered persecution for their connection to the duke and subsequently fled to Elphegort.

## Skills and Abilities

Claster was very politically savvy, willing to do whatever it took to increase his and his family's status in society. Along with that, he was very protective of his family members and those he was close with, such as his daughter Gumina. However, he could be impulsive, making decisions on a whim without thinking through the consequences of his actions.
