I have a sick mother and younger brother back home, and must get money for them. When I heard this city had people who could hire me, I went this far without eating or drinking...

— Castor, to Rickard
|
Castor (Japanese: カシム Kashim) is a hunter from Talys. He constantly seeks money to aid his poor family and ill mother, progressing from taking mercenary jobs to working with pirates to eventually becoming an outright swindler as the years pass.
Role
In his desperation for money, Castor took up work with the Galder pirates. He was approached by Caeda who, dismayed that a decent man like him had to work with pirates for gold, offered to give him enough money to aid his family. Touched by this generosity, Castor joined her in Marth's burgeoning army.

Role
In the years since the War of Shadows, the death of his sister Leen in Port Warren, who had sold herself into slavery in her own attempt to raise money for her mother, had driven Castor to increased desperation in his efforts to find money.[1] He became a swindler out of desperation to prevent this from happening to his family again, and eventually made his way to Macedon, where he encountered Marth. After giving him some of his own money, Castor rejoined Marth's army out of (possibly exaggerated) gratitude.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.
|
Castor the second bow user recruited, and his stats are superior to Gordin's upon arrival. His greater Strength and movement helps him keep up and deal decent chip damage, and his Speed, while not high enough to double attack, is at least enough to avoid getting doubled by slower enemies. The early chapters are quite difficult, so Castor is useful for his ability to weaken enemies without being countered. His Strength and Speed growths are decent by Shadow Dragon standards, but his inability to fight on enemy phase causes him to level up slowly. His promotion to Horseman greatly improves his movement, but he will likely outlive his usefulness by the time that becomes an option. Overall, Castor is a unit who is helpful early on but will be outdone in his niche by Jeorge, the ballisticians, and others in the long-term.
Role
As in Mystery of the Emblem, in the years since the War of Shadows, the death of his sister Leen in Port Warren, who had sold herself into slavery in her own attempt to raise money for her mother, had driven Castor to increased desperation in his efforts to find money. He became a swindler out of desperation to prevent this from happening to his family again, and eventually made his way to Macedon, where he encountered Marth.
