Specter of Torment Talked to in the dining hall of the Tower of Fate "Gall: Ah, Specter! I'm working on my technique for a new killer move. Brace yourself for... The Kiss of Death!! " "Specter Knight: What? Wait just a moment before you do anything rash!" "Specter Knight: ....Uhh.... " "Gall: What? It didn't work! I guess I need more training." (This sentence gets cut short if Gall is successful) If Gall is not successful "Gall: My victim is supposed to die, not me! Now I'm double dead! Ah well, practice makes perfect, eh Specter?" If Gall is successful "Gall: Yes, it worked! Sorry about that, Specter. I'll find a hero to use it on next time!"

Trivia

• Gall's sprite model is named "Kissing Skeleton". His portrait is named "Druid", which fits his attire.
• The concept of the "Kiss of Death" has a long and variegated cultural history, but in this case it may be in reference to the monsters known as Dementors of the Harry Potter series.
• Gall looks strikingly identical to, and is possibly heavily based on, The Horned King from the Disney film "The Black Cauldron".
