Jorm Voiced by Shimono Hiro
"He was the second of three brothers and was known as the Calamity Brother.

Although he belongs to the Lantern Wolves, his work and usual attitude is very perfunctory. He is completely unaware of his outbursts and often leaves his brothers feeling helpless."

The nobles were very fond of his looks, so he established good relations with them despite being an ominous child."

Hati Voiced by Saito Soma
"A noble young man with a gentle nature and a good heart.
He did not like to keep up the aristocratic façade, so he spoke and acted no differently from ordinary people.

Ende Voiced by Sugita Tomokazu
