Gladsbury

''The one man I had hoped to avoid - Gladsbury, the master groundskeeper of Cabeza! His is the ear that hears every rumor, for the gardens are well-used for such clandestine matters, and my meeting with the prince is now certain to be known to others!''

Gladsbury is the master groundskeeper of Cabeza, and spends much of his time overseeing the gardens of Cabeza. As such, he knows much of the skullduggery that takes place within the kingdom.

Gladsbury has an assistant, whom he often beats. This boy is about the same age as Chaffrey.
