Gael Squirrelking was a male squirrel monarch of Southsward; he ruled from Castle Floret. He was the husband of Queen Serena and the father of Truffen.
Gael was tricked into letting Urgan Nagru and his mate Silvamord, along with their evil vermin horde, into Floret. 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.
After the Battle of Southsward, he adopted the three orphans Wincey, Figgs, and Benjy.
