Relations

• It is uncertain how long ago Durand created Galio.
  • Considering he and  Poppy know each other, he is at most as old/older as/than the Kingdom of Demacia ever since its founding by  Orlon himself.
    • And given he and  Sion fought each other many times back when the Undead Juggernaut was alive, Galio (and by extension Durand) is at least a contemporary or Jarvan I's.
