Rual was a Forfarian druid, and is now a ghost, residing in Forlorn.[1] Following the murder of Tristen ApBlanc's mother Flora ApBlanc, Rual became Tristen's foster mother. Although she knew of his vampiric heritage and took precautions, this ultimately did not save her from Tristen's panicked attack and betrayal when she discovered him feasting up the blood of an animal. Tristen killed Rual and feasted upon her blood, but she had drank many vials of holy water and burned away Tristen's vampiric taint. At the same time, however, Rual cursed him, ultimately undoing whatever restorative effect the holy water might've given Tristen by turning him into a vampyre by day and a ghost by night and binding him to the Sacred Grove of Forfar where his mother was hanged.[2]

Rual presently inhabits Castle Tristenoira as a vengeful Fourth Magnitude Ghost. Her sole goal is to torment Tristen and foil all his endeavors. The curse she put upon Tristen robbed her of much of her recognizability, making her mute and shaped as an amorphous blob of vapor. However, she has strong powers of illusion including the ability to create an illusion of herself as a rotting corpse, through which she may verbally communicate and gesture. Rual is present in all three versions of Castle Tristenoira[3]
