| - He was born in Anzat, the homeworld of the Anzati. As usual in his race, nobody gave him a name. He left Anzat when he was ready for go on hunting his soup, but he realized that it wasn't the best way to be relationated with people. For that reason, he uses his beard to cover all signs that lead the people to identify him as an anzati. Gaal left Anzat when he was ready for go on hunting for "soup"...This soup gives the Anzati race a perceived form of immortality, seemingly never succumbing to old age, able to sustain life for over a thousand years with little resemblance of aging. But then he realized that it wasn't the best way to be relationated with people. For that reason, Gaal uses a beard to cover all signs that lead the people to identify him as an anzati, specially the prehensile proboscises he can use to drink "soup". As he generally sais: "When an anzati is hungry, he hunts for his soup... When I'm hungry, I try to find another thing... people just don't understand the idea of soup... but anyway, it is advisable not to get close to a hungry anzati, specially if he's under 200 years..." His first trip was to Kessel, where he met an old hapan miner called Taddeus Zerquino, who treated him kind, for Taddeus only son, Giorgy, was found dead in some strange situation. Taddeus thought that he was similar to his son, so he gave him the name of Gaal. After Taddeus death, Gaal took the name of Zerquino to honor Taddeus memory.
