Ashcroft (アシュクロフト Ashukurofuto) is Kanna Bismarch's guardian ghost.
About
A knight from medieval Germany that pledged to the Bismarch family his eternal loyalty. Thanks to his training he was able to win every duel against knights or other men without exception. However, he was seen by the local people as nothing more than a nuisance. As time passed by and he became older his personality didn't change, and as he kept fighting he won the name of "Ashcroft of Old Iron". One day, when he was playing chess with the lord of the castle, an assassin group sneaked in and he had to fight them alone. Thanks to his victory that day he won the local people's admiration at last, but he had been so gravely injured that he died soon after.[1]
Kanna got to meet him because Ashcroft kept wandering around the castle for many years as a ghost. He has been protecting Kanna from evil spirits who wanted to use her ectoplasm ever since she was born.[2]
