When Tausau and Savis led their soldiers in an assault on the Frost Walker fortress, Ignatious followed along with them, separating from the group to dash to Heila's side by the ice prison that trapped Lady Ashlynn with the treacherous Hauke. When he arrived, the diminutive Willow Witch was already in a heated argument with her gladiator-turned-guardian, Kurtz.

"And even if, if somehow I could find them," he added, trying to convince the stubborn young witch that sending him away to fetch the giants was a fool's errand. "Leading giants through the caravan when we can't see, we'd only trample our own people beneath their feet."
