Story
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
With Glou and Count Woltar's help, Airyglyph XIII was able to ascend to the throne and become king of Airyglyph.
Glou would later father a son, Albel. Albel looked up to his father and respected him greatly.
One day, Albel was to take the Accession of the Flame test to tame his own Air Dragon. However Albel was too foolhardy and the dragon he chose was too strong for him to handle. Before the dragon could kill him, Glou got in the way, sacrificing his life to save his son. It was his father's noble sacrifice that made Albel shut away from other people.
