Castor is the sole playable member of the [[Hunter]] class, making him a somewhat unique unit. His strongest attribute is his availability, as he joins in [[The Pirates of Galder|Chapter 2]] and comes early enough to contribute to most of the game, and his early recruitment means he has some chapters where you haven't recruited enough stronger units yet to justify dropping him. His base stats are decent for an early recruit, with a fairly decent 7 [[strength]], 7 [[skill (stat)|skill]], 6 [[weapon level]], and 6 [[speed]], but with a somewhat disappointing 4 [[defense]]. His strength and skill growths are decent enough to maintain a solid level in each, but his lackluster growths in areas such as defense and weapon level hurt him a lot—his weapon level will probably remain too low to use the [[Parthia]] without the [[Manual]], his low defense growth only compounds his frailty and his average speed growth is unreliable in getting him to late-game doubling thresholds without a Speed Ring. Also, his [[movement]] of 6 is mediocre, and due to only being able to counterattack at 2-[[range]] he will have a hard time contributing on enemy phase. Overall, Castor is a decent unit in the early-game, but he will quickly be surpassed by better units.

|name=Castor Loving Son
|blurb1=Castor is an archer from Talys, an island kingdom to the east of the continent of Archanea. He’s a timid and gentle Hero, but he makes his presence known when he takes aim with his bow!
|blurb2=Originally, Castor made a living as a hunter in Talys—but he was forced to help the pirates who terrorized the area to have any hope of making up the money he needed for his sick mother’s medicine.
|blurb3=Fortunately, Princess Caeda of Talys made a difference when she gave Castor money for his mother’s treatment, and he promptly cut ties with the pirates and swore loyalty to her instead.
|blurb4=Years later, Castor crossed paths with Marth, the prince of Altea, who also gave him money for his mother’s treatment. How lucky he was to run into not just one but TWO kind Heroes!
|Related_name1=Caeda
|Related_blurb1=Princess of Talys who’s as talented as she is charming. Marth’s betrothed. Castor is indebted to her.
|Related_name2=Marth
|Related_blurb2=Prince of Altea who fights for his homeland and deeply values his friends. Helped Castor with his money problems.
