"It's okey Galant,you are my Brother"

- Lance  was Galant's best friend and the deuteragonist of Sword Art Online: Past of Ashes. He is the second in command in their guild, the "Royal Knights".

On his waist, he has a green belt where he places his katana, and symbol on a belt, where he carries multiple shurikens for hunting or as an emergency weapon.

He caries forearm and leg protectors, the same as his armored, black and yellow.

Personality
Lance is a confident member of the guild, yet he sometimes is impulsive, hot headed and arrogant. He has also shown the belif in honor and a warriors belifs, because of his ancestors. He tends to be sometimes violent on battle and this is shown on his way of leading the guild, a thing Galant fears due they could send them all to their deaths.

Also he has a softer side, which is in the great friendship he bears with all the members of the guild

As a leader within the Guild, he embraces Galant as a brother but their ideals on leadership differ. Lance is much more hot-headed impulsive as a leader than Galant is and a power-struggle between the two comes into play from time to time.

Background
He attended school as every typical boy of his age. Among his clasmentes where his best friend, Galant and friends: Guinevere, Gawn, Dagonet, Bors, Percival, Tristan and Galahad. Thanks to the last one, they obteined the game Sword Art Online and the NerveGear, due his father was a woker in Argus. They loged in, and soon discovered that they could not log out.

Galant
Lance is Galant's best friend, or as they say it "Blood Brothers". They were friends since they were little children, and became best freiends soon. Later, other freinds came and they formed an eight people group of friends. On 2022, they got SAO by help of one of them, and were traped inside of it.

Lance was the second most voted member of teh guild to become leader, but Galant won him. Galant then put him as his second in command. Generaly there is tension between them two, due to Lance tends to be much more hot headed and impulsive, and galant is more a tactician and thinks twice what he would do as leader, reason why generaly is a power strugle between them two.
