Pallas in Ledgerbound

Pallas is the Queen’s military leftover who still writes like a knight after the old loyalties collapse. Official posts bill him as the sad pretty-boy you sweep off his feet. Delbert Hunt voices him. This page is the planning guide for the August 13, 2026 retail build: how he sits next to Avarice on the romance board, why Water coverage matters when the full party always deploys, and how not to spend his onboarding night swapping liabilities. Pair it with the Romance Guide and Party Members.

Who he is on paper

Marketing calls Pallas a Tidecaster from the Queen’s military task force — poetic, heart-eyed, adrift. He is not the royal shareholder joke. That is Avarice. He is not the Vacari enigma. That is Cazian. If you want fierce devotion without boardroom kink, he is the public pitch. Trailers and Steam community posts put him in the same romance row as Jazz, Sylvie, Aura, and Joy.

We will not invent his retail skill names. Tidecaster plus Water-leaning copy is enough to plan A.R.T.E.: Water beats Fire, and Fire-heavy Vacari scripts are where he should stand. Because everyone deploys, a Water knight who never acts stays underleveled on stamp maps. Experience comes from attacking and using abilities, not from looking tragic in the portrait.

Romance and the monogamy rule

RPGamer’s launch review is the line that matters: two male love interests are monogamous and must be the only romance in that playthrough. The remaining allies can be poly if the HR forms are filed. Public materials do not print which two men lock. Treat Pallas as a candidate for that lock until you see the in-game paperwork. If you are already filing Jazz and Sylvie as a poly stack, read the prompt before you start Pallas’s file. How to Romance and Saves exist because the autosave will not un-file a confession.

Practical habits:

• Finish his onboarding the night he appears. No bond, no gear, no route until the form is done.
• Do not start two male routes “to see the writing” on one save.
• Leave slack in early Resterludes if he joins after Jazz is already a habit.
• Employee Training with Jazz sits on the same clock. A perk is not a free Pallas scene.

Combat without a fake kit

Put him where a Water read actually matters. Battle Setup is for that, not for nightly fashion. Chase HR stamps that match a ranged or control action if his kit looks like a caster knight. Do not force him into a melee hole Avarice already fills. Certificates of Mastery still want all three stamps; a crush is not an excuse to skip Risk Mitigation.

If a map is Fire-heavy and he is your only Water, buy swag that keeps him alive instead of rebuilding the whole liability bar. Swaps cost evenings. Launch reviews are explicit.

Voice and tone

Hunt’s billing is “sweep a lovelorn knight off his feet.” That is softer than Mercer’s pompous prince and Starr’s sultry Vacari. If Shareholder scenes are your line, Pallas is often the male route people recommend first — still adult, still HR-approved, less boardroom. Sample the ensemble on Voice Cast.

First retail week

1. Confirm whether his paperwork is the monogamous kind before you stack poly forms.
2. Place him on the Romance Checklist the night he files in.
3. Cover Fire somewhere else if he is your only Water.
4. Replay a stamp map only if the hour is cheaper than a missed route beat.

Pallas rewards players who wanted a knight and got an insurance adjuster’s calendar instead. File him like a claim you intend to keep.
