About
Profession: Court spy and information broker.
Alliance: Nohr, but is willing to relinquish any information gathered in order to further his own goals.
Hometown: Macarath
Likes: Drinking fine wine, eating fresh fruit, solving mysteries and riddles, acquiring new knowledge, dealing pain and getting paid.
Dislikes: Having secrets withheld from him, people who fall within the hero character stereotype, people who pretend that the world is a good place, being cheated of a prize and people devoid of culture.
Personality:
Kaspar often mingles with crowds but has an art of making himself meld into the depths of the mind through subtle gestures, but conversely he is able to assert himself into a situation and make himself seem as if he belongs in a group with only minimal interaction prior.
He rarely gives away his true feelings but instead guards himself with the front of a person who fades into the background. Any person who would get close enough to know him well would know him to be a person who would happily lend an ear to listen to other’s problems, being very quiet and thoughtful in private, yet giving away no indication of his true ideas.
Growing up in a household in a place where knowledge was equivalent to one’s worth, Kaspar acquired a penchant to not only seek intelligence for the highest bidder, but also the tastes of a scholar, enjoying a good read of classic literature or latest novel.
Kaspar is certainly not of a class that takes well to being struck, and is more likely than another person to be knocked down by physical force. However, he is capable of facing overwhelming mental hardships when he has his mind set on obtaining something through a confrontation.
Kaspar, while seemingly inattentive, is always observant of his surroundings, counting how many people are in a room, who leaves, when they return, how they act around others, he takes in it all and retains it in his memory. He watches everyone's movement's, watching every detail, even the smallest thing, allowing him to pick out targets amongst a crowd. He is always planning, always thinking of possibilities and what he should do to move him in front of others, and so he rarely does something without consulting about the possible consequences and resulting events.
Kaspar is quite proficient at manipulation, either by subtly corrupting his target's own goals, omitting parts of stories or events to his own benefit, or by appearing to share their beliefs. Conversely, he is very wary and perceptive of those who attempt to do the same to him.
Biography:
Within the walls of Macareth, there is but one art greater than those of gambling - that is, information-gathering. Such a profession is prized by the three great families which operate the functions of this city of entertainment, the Labyrs being the most known of them for their noble ties which allows them to sustain the city with help from the Crown’s assets. Yet a prominent role in society was not enough to content them, they wished for more than merely money - they wanted information.
Realising that, the second son of the Labyr family, Kaspar, found his place in life. He had never been considered an asset worthy of the family head’s attention, his grandfather, with the only plan being to marry him off to one of the other great families. But knowing of the Labyrs’ desire, Kaspar had decided he would acquire that which seemed to make money pale in comparison - he would be the one to control the flow of information in this city of games.
Setting out to do this, he managed to accomplish the establishment of an underworld circle that fed him the information he needed - the accuracy and depth of which garnered the praise of his family, but also the resentment of the other great families. Their complaints drew the attention of the Crown, attracting the interest of Iago who located and confronted Kaspar. Yet, it was not a threat which the minister gave to him, but an offer of great value - to use the information network as a way to provide the Crown ever more detailed intelligence.
Readily accepting this tempting deal, Kaspar was given financial support that allowed him to expand further from the walls of Macareth, travelling to both cities native and foreign to establish secure connections. But he was not content with merely aiding the Crown, for he had learnt a valuable lesson - money is power, but the balance of power changes, and so the source of money does too.
Other

Pet: A pitch-black raven with wings matted with crimson.
Additional Notes: He is an acquaintance of a certain Anna residing in Hoshido, who is in deep debt to him, obtaining information from her in exchange for decreasing the money she owes.
