Pelleas is believed to be the son of Ashnard and the Prince of Daein. However, he is not the true Prince: he is merely a spirit charmer who was tricked by Izuka into believing that he was royalty. (The true Prince, is later revealed to be Soren.) Pelleas has watched every game the Mercenaries have played and has taken a liking to the game of Blood Bowl. With his royalty proving to be a hoax, he has taken the belief that everyone should be treated equally and he considers himself as fodder as the Lineman next to him. Pelleas submitted a request to Ike for his services in joining the team, of which Ike graciously accepted.
