ADVERTISEMENT History

Main article: Douxie Casperan/History Physical Description

Hisirdoux Casperan is tall, and has sleek, straight black hair with indigo streaks (which, in the past, he wore in a top knot bun, and he regretted it immensely in the future, as revealed in History in the Making). If looked closely, he has a small scar on his left hand, over his thumb area.[3] He wears an enchanted bracelet on his left wrist which he uses to cast his spells (in the past, his bracelet was short, but over the 900 years since, it takes up the majority of his forearm). When angered or provoked, his eyes glow bright blue.

In his present attire, he wears a black sweatshirt, gray jeans, and black high-tops. He also wears a skull-shaped necklace around his neck and wristbands (two on his right side and a watchband, disguising his charm bracelet, on his left).

In his medieval Camelot attire, Douxie wears a long-sleeved blue tunic rolled up to the elbows with a hooded dark brown leather vest over it. He wears two belts over his vest and brown pants with knee high boots, and wears two bracelets on his right wrist. Personality

Hailing from Arcadia High School's rival, Douxie mysteriously appears on the scene to promote a "Battle of the Bands" contest, but soon becomes a jealous thorn in Jim's side. But as things progress, all is not as it appears when Douxie lets on that he has previously encountered the evil Nyarlagroth. THE ART OF TROLLHUNTERS

In the past, Douxie was a clumsy, impatient, and reckless teen who wanted to become a competent wizard and cease pushing brooms around. He was usually quick to jump at every opportunity to find more adventure to make his mark and make himself grow to master his wizardry abilities.

Nine centuries later, Douxie has become a charming, honorable, well-meaning, and hard-working apprentice who still wishes to prove himself worthy enough of becoming a master wizard, dreaming of one day wielding his own staff to protect the good of the universe. Although, he still retains his reckless behavior whenever he's in the face of danger. He enjoys practicing his powers and using them to protect the world from evil creatures, even if he has to do it in shadows alone. Despite his power, Douxie takes Merlin's lesson to heart that magic "is not a permissible shortcut to hard-work", so he tries not to let his power go into his head and genuinely works, only using his magic if needed.

Despite his overdetermination, he genuinely wants to set things right and help his friends out of trouble, because (according to Merlin) he believes that all life is precious to the world, including those closest to him, like Claire, Steve, and Jim. As such, despite not knowing a way to cure Jim, he was still determined to find the solution to save his friend. Much like the other Guardians of Arcadia, Douxie is more than willing to do anything in his power to protect his friends when history is at risk of being interfered and meddled.

When Merlin was killed by Arthur (now the Green Knight), it hit Douxie really hard, yet made him motivated enough to find another way to fix things himself. He wanted to keep Merlin's staff as a keepsake, yet in order to save his new family (his friends and fellow Guardians), he must learn to let his master go and save everyone on his own terms, so he finally accepts his loss. Powers & Abilities

Powers

Magically Enhanced Physiology: As a wizard, Douxie's magic increases his strength and agility, more so than an average teenager his physical age. Enhanced Strength: He is shown to be strong enough to knock down a Gumm-Gumm troll with an air kick, as well as knocking it unconscious with a good whack on the head with his guitar. He was even strong enough to send Morgana flying several dozen meters away and knock Beast Jim out cold with just one hit of his staff/guitar. He was strong enough to physically stop Bular’s attack when he was about to stab Arthur with his sword, holding the blade in place until Merlin was able to trap him, so his physical strength is roughly on par with one of the burly Trolls arms; which are capable of sending cars flying. Enhanced Durability: Douxie is clearly more durable than a normal teenager. However, he briefly died when he took a long fall from the Arcane Order's Fortress, yet brought himself back to life soon after. He is shown being able to survive impacts that would have been lethal to most of the main cast, such as during the movie, when he falls from the top of the fire Titan, and although he was able to slow himself at the last second, the impact of his body hitting the car was still enough to cave-in the vehicle. He was able to walk away from the impact without any lasting injuries, but did need to be supported for a few minutes after, before he was back to normal. Sorcerers seem to be able to shrug off serious injuries that would normally be fatal to a human. They have been shown being capable of suffering stabbing injuries from swords or magically infused branches without too much discomfort, not even suffering any form of blood loss; this may be due to the magic flowing through their bodies healing them at an accelerated rate. Agility: He is able to leap high enough into the air to air-kick a Gumm-Gumm. Magic: Douxie is a skilled practitioner in the ancient art of magic, after spending almost a millennium studying it. His exact strength, knowledge, and extent of his magic is clearly less than that of Merlin and Morgana, but strong enough to be considered competent and experienced enough. When angered and/or provoked, like when King Arthur throws Merlin to his death, he was able to unlock his magic state. Due to Merlin placing himself into a magical sleep for 900 years, Douxie never actually graduated from use the bracelet, which is a beginner's tool. However, despite only having access to a limited magical tool, he was still capable of performing magics beyond even those wizards using wands. Upon being granted his staff by Merlin, his mentor fully acknowledged that he had achieved great things with a far lesser tool. Once he has his staff he was able to go toe to toe with a 9th level sorceress, placing him comfortably above most other magic users in the series. Upon Merlin’s death he has now taken over Merlin’s former position as the realm's protector. Spell Casting: As a wizard, Douxie is more than capable of casting spells. Magical Energy Manipulation: As a highly experienced wizard, Douxie able to project, shape, and manipulate magical energy to use magic for a variety of effects and purposes. Magic Attacks: Douxie is able to use his magic for offensive attacks. Magic Blasts: Douxie can fire powerful beams of blue magic. At his most powerful, he was able to overcome both Bellroc and Skrael, yet it took a lot of strength to do so. Incantation: Tenebris exilium Magic Bursts: Like Morgana, Douxie is able to create a massive burst of magic, capable of knocking surrounding enemies away from him, as shown in "Wizard Underground" when Arthur impales Merlin and throws him to his death. Incantation: Elemen-zath Magic Aura: In "Wizard Underground", Douxie was able to make his eyes and body glow blue after becoming enraged that Arthur killed his master in cold blood. Magic Shielding: Douxie can create blue shields to protect himself, but he clearly shows fatigue whenever his strength is overcome by a powerful force, like Morgana and the Arcane Order. He can set up a protective barrier around a building, these are strong but can be overwhelmed by large numbers; this was used to protect the book store. Magic Detection: In "Killahead, Part Two", Douxie was able to sense Morgana's dark magic, noting that she was close by. Infinite Hallways: Douxie can cast infinite hallway portals that can trap his foes in a certain area with no way out. He once used this to purposely keep King Arthur and his knights from ambushing Jim and Claire, and later to keep the Arcane Order from escaping their own fortress. Conjuration: Douxie is able to summon objects out of thin air. In Rise of the Titans, he conjured a large railroad track to help slow down the speeding subway train. Smoke Generation: As shown in the past, Douxie can create a mist of blue fog to hide his escape attempts (though more often than not, it doesn't work out). Incantation: Gassus flotulus Sleep Inducement: Douxie is able to put others into an instant deep sleep, as he did a couple of times with his past self in "History in the Making" and "Witch Hunt". However, overuse of this spell could cause permanent memory loss as Archie points out. Incantation: Interminus nocti sluumberso Banishing: Douxie is able to banish and imprison his foes. He once uses this on a Shadow Mephit to send it into Limbo. Later, when Merlin grows too weak to imprison the vengeful Morgana, Douxie uses this spell to imprison her himself and save history. Incantation: Sigilia infractum causera Surface Adhesion: Douxie can enchant himself and others to scale vertical surfaces without any assists. He uses this to help his friends climb the Titans. Incantation: Lignum Aeternum Telekinesis: Douxie is able to move things with his thoughts as he was seen stuffing his past self into a wardrobe and other objects by just waving his hands. Incantation: Magna torna truess Binding: Like Morgana, Douxie can summon blue ropes that can bind his enemies, but they're not nearly as strong as hers. Once he gains his staff he is able to completely immobilize one of the three titans. Pyrokinesis: As shown in "Spellbound", Douxie can manipulate and control fire. Later, in "Killahead, Part Two", he was able to combine his magic with Archie's dragon fire to trap Morgana in a blazing wall of blue fire. Fire Blast: Douxie is able to conjure fire blast capable of great damage. He once used this spell on the Green Knight, but was unsuccessful, due to the latter's immunity to magic. Memory Projection: In "Witch Hunt", Douxie was able to use his magic on the tree name carvings of Arthur, Gwen, and Morgana to bring their childhood memories to life. Glamour: Douxie can actually disguise his charm bracelet into a watch with an illusion by simply waving his hand. Astral Projection: Like Merlin and Morgana, Douxie is able to project himself into another location, as shown in "Our Final Act" when he shows the Arcane Order the Genesis Seals. Flight: Douxie is able to levitate himself and fly at great speeds. While doing so, he leaves behind a trail of blue light. Semi-Immortality: As he existed since the Age of Camelot, Douxie has lived for nine hundred years without aging a day. However, he is still just as vulnerable to death as other humans. Interacting with magic energy’s will extend a person’s life, so all the humans that have actually been involved with the gang's magic shenanigans will have their lives extended, Claire was a human, but due to her becoming a sorceress, she will remain as she is for an undisclosed amount of time, and Jim and Toby will also have a greater lifespan due to their dealings with magic items, such as the amulet and hammer. Magical infusion: He can infuse magical energies into objects, such as knives, which can cut through thick metal prison bars in a single cut, or infusing magic into the remains of Excalibur, which was then able to destroy the walls of the Lady of the Lake's prison. Time magic: He is capable of creating time traps, which slow down time in a bubble around the one who tripped it. These traps slowed down the explosions set around Camelot, allowing everyone to escape. During the battle of the bridge he was shown creating pillars of light that held large numbers of trolls immobilized. The Arcane Order claimed that using time magic should have been beyond him, but he has shown an affinity for it, in the same way that Claire has shown with shadow magic. As he was the one who built Merlin’s tomb, he was also the one who made the time switch; which shifts the room back hundreds of years in the past, and then back again. One of the things the creators of the series had theoretically planned, had the series gotten another season was to eventually have the main cast regain their memories from the previous timeline; Douxie would be one of the few people that Jim could contact and re-recruit almost instantly, and one of the few who would believe his story. Douxie has also been set up to have a relationship with ‘time’ magic, and with access to the time map may have played a big role in helping the other characters regain their memories. A combination of the Time Map + Jim’s new Amulet (an object from the old timeline) + the spell that Douxie used on Morgana and Arthur to make them see moments from their pasts, should be able to allow the other characters to regain their memories from the previous timeline. The Amulet that was created using his magic (which is why the magic blue flames of the armor and sword exactly match Douxie’s magic energy) has a clock-like appearance. Body-Swapping: As seen in Rise of the Titans, Douxie is capable of swapping bodies with another being. The only time he was seen doing this was at the beginning of the movie when he swapped his and Nari's bodies in order to prevent the Arcane Order from awakening the Titans. Abilities

Indomitable Will: Like Jim, Douxie is determined to save his friends and the world no matter the cost. Staffsmanship: Douxie can wield a staff proficiently, as he's always dreamed of one day wielding a staff of his own. However, as noted by Morgana, his skills do not match with hers since he just earned one. Although, when it's shifted into a guitar, he can apparently wield it to almost match Morgana's skills. However, he was no match against the Green Knight. After about a year of practice, Douxie is able to wield his staff properly. Martial Artist: After nine hundred years of experience, Douxie is a fairly trained warrior and knowledgeable in single combat, much like Jim and Aja. He was able to hold himself off against Morgana, but is clearly not as fast as her, and fight back against Bellroc and Skrael. However, he was completely outmatched by King Arthur (who was resurrected as a being of anti-magic) but that is also true about everyone in the series who tried to fight the Green Knight. Multilingual: After spending 900 years studying, Douxie is apparently capable of speaking the tongues of most magical creatures, such as Latin, Trollish, Orcish, and even Elvish. However, he cannot read Ancient Draconic. Monsterology: Although implied to be rusty, Douxie is knowledgeable enough to understand monsters and magical creatures, yet mistaken a Shadow Mephit for an Umber Imp. Charm: Since he lived in the medieval times, Douxie is able to pick up girls with his continuous flirting, especially Claire who already has boyfriend (Jim) and even Toby was scared of losing his own girlfriend, Darci. Guitarist: Douxie is skilled with a lute and a guitar, as his own band won the Battle of the Bands many times in the past. Moonlighter: It should be mentioned that Douxie is able to work in more than one job so he could make his ends meet. He works in a book store as an employee during the day and at a restaurant as a waiter in the evening. Competent Tutor: Despite not being much of a good student, Douxie is capable of showing the basics of magics to Claire, even teaching her more about shadow magic (something he has no capability of performing). Palmist: As revealed in 3Below, Douxie has some knowledge of palmistry as he can predict someone's future by reading their palms. He could tell that Aja has had "many travels" in the past and somewhat predicted that she would be taking "big trips". Prestidigitation: He has been shown to use trickery, distraction and slight of hand to confuse and trick his opponent. Apart from his actual magic, he also uses tricks and practical illusions that IRL human magicians use in their performances. He was using such tricks nearly 900 years ago, so may have played a role in creating many of the magic techniques used by magicians today. After Arthur outlawed magic, he had to turn to performing tricks and illusions on the streets in order to live. Intelligence: He has been shown to be quick on his feet and fast to come up with plans on the fly with but a moment’s notice. He was able to come up with a solution almost instantly to prevent an out of control train from derailing, and then immediately prevented Nari from being captured by switching their minds, after which he was able to work out how to reveal the Arcane Orders hideout. He was even able to come up with a design for a miniature Heart of Avalon, that could manipulate time into an ‘infinite time loop’, a design which even the genius Krel called complex, and the Arcane Order declared to be something that should have been beyond him, in only a few hours. His lack of confidence when around his master and those he considers to be above him leads him to being a bit blundering and awkward at times, and often seems a bit flustered, but that is more to do with his nervousness getting the best of him. He admits so himself, when he says that because so many people had said that he couldn’t, he had ended up believing it himself, so he never tried, but with the support of his friends he has gained the confidence to actually reach towards his true potential. He was also the one who built Merlin’s tomb, which includes a time switch and a feature that nullified all magic within the area; this may have later been used to help create Krel’s Trifurcate blaster, as Krel has been experimenting on combining magic and alien tech. Apparently, according to Aaron Waltke Douxie was actually Albert Einstein, he had used a disguise and accidentally used magic in front of a bunch of scientists, and then had to come up with all the science to explain it. This would give him an IQ of at least 165. Weaknesses

Magic Depletion: Like Merlin and Morgana, Douxie could deplete his magic if he uses it too much at once. Lack of Shadow Magic: Due to Merlin's distaste for the dark arts, Douxie is not able to perform any form of shadow magic as he was always taught by his master that it would only lead him to pain. He even admits in "Lady of the Lake" that he doesn't even have the capability of possessing shadowmancy, but is able to recognize Claire's natural talent for it and teach her the basics. Trifurcate Radiation: When blasted by Krel's trifurcate blaster, Douxie's magic is rendered completely nullified, leaving him powerless. Recklessness: According to Merlin, Douxie tends to be quite reckless whenever he tries to prove himself worthy, and he barely listens to very specific rules and is usually quick to involve himself in a situation when it means to protect his friends. His recklessness very nearly ruins history when he gets trapped in time, and him rushing in to save Jim cost Merlin his own life. However, Douxie admits in the afterlife that he's proud of making up his own plans his own way, just as long as he thinks them through. Equipment

Charm Bracelet: Douxie wears a cuff-like bracelet on his left wrist which he uses to presumably channel his magic potential. Apparently, he cannot perform his spells without it, but it's unknown if this is true, or if he needs it to hone his magic. As confirmed by Aaron Waltke on a reply, he can actually disguise his charm bracelet into a watch (as seen in his minor appearances in Part Three of Trollhunters and Part Two of 3Below) with an illusion by simply waving his hand (although he does this off-screen, due to screen timing). Staff: In "Killahead, Part One", Merlin creates Douxie a staff of his own, a symbol of his promotion into a master wizard he always dreamed of earning. Ever since, he uses his new staff for both combat and as a cohort for his magic. Spell Caster Guitar: Douxie's staff is sometimes morphed into an electric guitar, which can create a shield, fire a beam of magic with a strum, and throw it like a boomerang. Magic Weapon: “technically it’s an Axe” playing on the notion that guitar’s are often referred to as axes, Douxie’s staff functions as such in combat. It works like a double-headed Greataxe, that can be used one handed, and can be thrown like Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. By infusing more magical energy into it, like he did with Excalibur, then it becomes a powerful mid to long ranged weapon. Time Map: After he, Claire, Steve, and Jim get lost in the past, Douxie acquires a time map to make sure the timeline remains constant to protect the timeline from their meddling. Eternal Time Trap: In order to distract Bellroc and Skrael so he can infiltrate their fortress and save their friends, Krel combines his Akiridion tech with Douxie's piece of the Heart to create a temporal trap. Douxie uses the Genesis Seals as bait to lure the Arcane Order and trap them in a time loop. Bellroc and Skrael manages to free themselves and return to the present with the Seals, only to realize that the boy was after Nari. Knife: Douxie carries a small knife, which he can imbue his magic with so that it can slice/burn through steel and metal. Guitar: Douxie has his own guitar. He once used it as a weapon to knock out a Gumm-Gumm when it attacks Mary and Darci.
