Caspar

A student of the Black Eagles. He is the second son of Count Bergliez, the Minister of Military Affairs. Appears in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Name: Caspar von Bergliez Gender: Male Race: Human Birthday: July 1 Age: 16 Height: 159 cm Relatives: Unnamed Grandfather, Unnamed Step-Grandmother, Leopold (Father), Unnamed Older Brother, Randolph (Step-Uncle), Fleche (Step-Aunt) Occupation: Student at the Officers Academy (Black Eagles house) Weapon: Axes </Personal Information> Caspar is a teenage boy with a below average height, light skin, short cyan hair and cyan eyes. His attire consists of a black sleeveless jacket, a white shirt underneath the jacket, black pants, black boots and a white handkerchief tied to his neck. Brash and bold, Caspar leads his life bound to his strong sense of justice. He is takes a "punch first, apologize later" approach to dealing with conflict and enjoys fighting in general with an enthusiastic zeal. His rather black-and-white view on right an wrong makes him an honest young man, but also one to deliver righteous punishment as he sees fit. Caspar hates lies and unfair treatment and is likely to directly intervene in a situation once he has made up his mind, consequences be damned. He has a natural instinct in discerning unsavory individuals, even on a mere hunch.

His hotheadedness makes him somewhat reckless and unintentionally forceful when "helping" others, such as "kidnapping" Bernadetta to bring her to a secret location to cheer her up, failing to account how she was even going to feel about the whole ordeal, let alone the good intentions of his idea. His simple-minded outlook on life also causes him to miss subtle romantic cues in many of his A-Supports with women, instead taking them at face value. He also does not take criticism of his behavior well, often snapping at those who judge him on his habits. Often, he only learns the breadth of the consequences of it that he could have avoided had he heeded them. By the war phase, he has become more accepting of others words to him and also is more cautious. By this point he is also more critical of himself, but admits to Byleth in their support that he would live with more regrets not acting in the moment he could act in the defense of innocents, even if it may affect others later.

Caspar is markedly very different from other nobles in a Crest-bearing household. While his older brother was the one to bear a crest, Caspar has never felt envious of it. In fact, he enjoys the freedom of choice he can make of his life, unbound by the trappings of the role his brother plays for the family. However, he has something of a contentious relationship with his father Leopold. He has felt overshadowed by his older brother's accomplishments and sometimes even outright ignored by them because of it. He holds something of a chip on his shoulder as he seeks acknowledgement. Three Hopes gives Caspar a true man-to-man conversation with his father about his grievances, but learns that Leopold does hold immense pride in Caspar all along and acknowledges his growth, skill, and tenacity. As a sign of this, he even bequeaths the family's treasure weapon, Járngreipr, as a sign of his pride. In fact, his support with Edelgard highlights that Caspar may be the more fitting heir to House Bergliez in her new empire since she described Caspar's brother as lazy and selfish, a sentiment he reluctantly agrees with.

In his supports with Petra and Shamir, Caspar shows some form of guilt for the actions of his father against Brigid and Dagda during their war with the Empire. This shows when he feels Shamir would not want to train him due to his father's prominence in the war, while with Petra he feared she would hate him due to his father having killed hers.

He states that his astraphobia, or extreme fear of thunder, is due to the sound reminding him of his father's yelling. Caspar is the second-born son of House Bergliez. He is also the step-nephew of Randolph and Fleche. His step-uncle and step-aunt are the children of his grandfather's favored second wife, and Randolph was initially favored for succession. His grandfather's deteriorating health, however, forced him to retire early in Imperial Year 1168, and Caspar's father inherited the County of Bergliez. At the age of 6, he befriended Linhardt.

Due to being lower in the line of succession, Caspar sets off for the Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180 to make a name for himself through martial ability. Caspar uses axes as his main weapon.
