Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Zalak Greynuty Kaliska, also known as the "Ashlock Knight," was born into Kazimierzian nobility. However, after she contracted Oripathy, her family members not only blamed her for the Kaliskas' downfall but also banished her and her parents, causing her to hate the corrupt aristocracy.

During an underground tournament, she met Sona the "Flametail Knight", who harbors the same feelings and together, they founded the Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub being exclusively comprised of Infected knights, and took part in the Kazimierz Major, hoping that their reputation would change the Kazimierzians' view towards the Infected. Unfortunately, things did not turn out well as the Major's stakeholders, especially the K.G.C.C., saw P.S. as a threat to the status quo and tried to dispose of them during the 24th Major season. Luckily, Greynuty and Sona survived and hid underground. Amid their weakness, the Adeptus Sprawiedliwi invited them to create the second Kawalerielki Separation during the return of the Radiant Knight. Even though Greynuty remained suspicious of the Adeptus' actions, she was willing to help Sona and her knightclub friends expose the rampant capitalism of Kazimierz to the public and the world.

Plot

Maria Nearl

Ashlock, alongside Sona, witnessed Maria's battle against Szewczyk the Plastic Knight. After Maria won, the two left the stadium to return home and fix their weapons.[1] A few days later, they returned to the stadium watching Maria fighting against Olmer Ingra.[2] After Ingra had recovered, Ashlock defeated him again in a match and the unlucky Brassrust Knight was sent to the hospital one again..[3]

Pinus Sylvestris, ready to act against the Kazimierzian capitalists

However, when Sona became the champion of the "Fireblade Meele", Czarny, the speaker of the National Council, feared that the Infected knights had crossed the line and gained too much attention to the media. So, he ordered Platinum and the Armorless Union to get rid of them.[4] Realizing that someone was following her on the open street, Ashlock quickly ran away and reunited with Sona.[5] For days, the Infected knightresses had a cat-and-mouse game around the streets until she was shot and severely injured. Before she almost passed out, Sona found shelter at Marcin's bar, where she received treatment for her wound.[6]

Since then, the Knights Association stripped away their knighthood as an act of punishment and declared that both Sona and she met an accident while having their training.[7][8] Thanks to Vogelweide's and Kowal's help, the two managed to hide among the city pipelines along with other Infected knights who faced the same persecution.[7]
