The blind chief strategist of Preveza, was taken in by the former leader like Ayace, but conceals a much more sinister past. After an unusual encounter during a hostage exchange with the governor-general of Korladan, Ayace follows Canale out of suspicion. Canale, who is trying to run away, is attacked, drugged and sexually assaulted by a Sharq Amuji assassin until Ayace finds them and kills the other man. After refusing Canale's pleas to kill him too, Ayace decides to take advantage of him in his drugged state.
Afterwards Canale reveals that he is a former Sharq assassin and escaped to Preveza after having killed the man he loved, Sesaam Zaiyaun, the attorney-general of Pisare. Fearing his past has finally caught up to him, he requests that Ayace either let him leave or kill him before he brings danger to Preveza. Ayace refuses and knocks him out and brings him back to the ship.
