Casper "Cass" Aldan a fourteen-year-old adventurer and monster hunter. He is the main protagonist of the series Casper's Rook.

Casper is a demigod son of Allea, the goddess of wisdom, war, combat, intellect, art, music and crafts. He was born on August 12th, 232 EYA, making his astrological sign the phoenix.

Background
Casper's father died soon after his birth, on January 8th, 233 EYA, and he was sent to the Thornwail Orphanage. As he grew up, he had no recollection of his father, he did however, remember his mother's eyes and voice. He remembered her singing to him, though he only has one memory of her.

The entire staff of the orphanage was astounded by his rather swift development. At the age of one, he'd taught himself how to read. At the age of two, he'd taught himself how to write, and at the age of three, he'd taught himself how to tie in shoes and write in cursive. By the age of seven, he could solve a quadratic equation with ease, and by the age of eight, he had a more expansive vocabulary than every child at the orphanage, as well as it's entire staff.

When Casper was twelve, someone came to the Thornwail Orphanage to adopt him specifically. Somehow, the person had known his name, even though they'd never met him. It was a woman with startling and fierce, but beautiful amber eyes and brunette hair. She told him she was his mother, Allea and that she'd come to retrieve him and bring him home. She told him about the gods and how she was the goddess of wisdom and war, and took him to her palace in Deos, the realm of the gods. A realm where gods, demigods, and novus live, this is where the story of Casper's Rook begins.

Personality
Casper has a somewhat reckless personality. He has a tendency to speak and act before thinking, causing him to get in a great deal of trouble. He hates when people are taken advantage of (only when it’s serious, of course), and hates stuck-up, and entitled people. Though, he is extremely selfless and driven, he feels responsible for everyone, and anything that goes wrong.

Although, Casper can be very cunning and manipulative, he's not afraid to manipulate people in order to get his way, if need be. He can be very ruthless and crude at times, though it's extremely rare. He's unpredictable, and thus you can never plan for what he might do or how he might act in a specific situation.

According to Mari, Casper is quite obtuse, and he doesn’t always see things, even when they’re right in front of him, such as people’s feelings, what they’re trying to imply, and what they’re trying to say indirectly.

Appearance
Casper has the appearance of a handsome young man with an average height in his teens. He has light skin and disheveled jet black hair "like he just got out of bed", as well as startling amber eyes that have been described as examining and intense. He typically wears a white hoodie with a red stripe slightly above the middle, as well as tan khakis, black/blue jeans, or cargo shorts and black and white sneakers. He has a slender, but toned and very slightly athletic figure, and his sly grin typically gets him marked as "a troublemaker".
