Galton Theo

Galton Theo, full name Galton Amadeo Theo (ガルトン アマデオ テオ, Garuton Amadeo Teo) is one of the main characters in Tales of Ylemia. He is Umbra Hyle's adoptive father.

Introduction
"'Ohoho, youth is such a beautiful thing, isn't it? Everyone has yet to exhaust the thirst for knowledge.'"The wise old man who loves travelling around. Galton is an information lover, going through his ways to gather every bit of knowledge around the world and compile it into a singe book. Having a lot of years of experience, he applies his knowledge and wisdom well, suggesting and advising the group in the times of need. He greatly despises his own lack of youth as a Human.

In the past, Galton was an extreme bibliophile, collecting all sorts of books into his library. He once had a family, but due to an incident from his own selfishness, they were taken away from him. When news came in about his family's incident, he journeyed out once again, this time without a clear motive. He made it to Void and met Umbra, adopting her as his daughter since she looked like his late daughter, out of a whim. Even as he took care of Umbra, he still carries his regrets.

His wisdom and ignorance will be tested by the Ancient Gatherer of the Four Elements, Maxwell, who teaches him that wisdom and knowledge are both powerful things, although one is more important than the other, both exist to be used hand-in-hand, and ignorance is bliss, but it will blind one from the truth.

Trivia

 * Initially thought to be a Heiros, Galton is not one, but received the blessings of Maxwell through a pact without him realizing.
