Haru's father, he and King set up the Demon Card (Shadow Guard in the English Dub) to protect the people. But Gale left when he was not fond of the direction the organization was going. He tried to stop King, but it ended horribly with King's family slaughtered. Before the Ultimate Shadow Stone was placed inside his body, Gale felt the fury of his former friend's rage when his face was scarred and his wife killed before his eyes.
