Jool Ponsolo Kaywell is a tabulon and the oldest child of Shol, being Kaywell's first prince. However, Jool is adopted and thus is ineligible for the throne due to his lack of royal blood; he was adopted at the insistence of Prince Sarnus, who had developed a strong bond with Jool after Jool ran away from his abusive noble family. Jool himself has since made his presence known as a strong and fierce Star Navy officer, ascending to the rank of Grand Admiral in the Order of Sorellius.
Sarnus Robau Kaywell is a tabulon and the second prince of the Kaywellian Kingdom and Shol's oldest biological child; this fact makes him the crown prince of the Kingdom. Sarnus himself is close friends with Jool, but has the opposite personality: he is a seemingly friendly, jovial, and sometimes eccentric person known for his many piercings.

However, some believe that Prince Sarnus has more complicated plans behind the scenes, especially regarding the reformation of Kaywell into an imperial kingdom.
