Who they are
Why Samael matters
Samael is kind without being immediately open. He rarely stops for long explanations, and his arrival in Moonlight Peaks is treated as a question rather than a solved fact. His route is best approached without reading late-event spoilers.
Where to find them
Do this instead of searching blindly
He is present during the first spring. Use the map marker whenever the Ambrosia story moves him away from the family’s usual area.
Map rule: quest scenes and weather can override a normal routine. Check the portrait icon before crossing town.
