Cu Chaspel

Cu Chaspel is an antagonist in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates. He is the servant of Galdes.
==Story==
Chaspel had been ordered to force Princess Tilika's power at the bottom of Rela Cyel as a sacrifice to the Moongod, which resulted in Princess Tilika dying and Rela Cyel's destruction.
Some years later, the Starsinger Aleria gave birth to the twins Yuri and Chelinka. Chaspel appeared and demanded she hand one of the twins over, supposedly acting under the orders of the Crystal Temple to invoke the appease of the Moongod once again, but Aleria chose to sacrifice herself instead of one of her children.
Cu Chaspel returned once again to the twins' home, where their father, Sir Latov, had been raising them ever since their birth. Chaspel demands Chelinka to be handed over, but his raid on Villa is in vain: after first targeting Yuri who enrages Chaspel by damaging his mask, Chaspel fires an energy ball at them, which Latov intercepts, taking another energy ball that Chaspel throws, Latov dying before he can tell the twins he is proud to be their father. The twins subconsciously invoke Chelinka's power, sending Chaspel away.
Later on, while the party meets King Kolka, Chaspel arrives and attempts to kill the king to frame them, thereby removing the party and the king, paving the way for the Crystal Temple's plans. As a "parting gift", he demonstrates an ability to alter the pitch of his voice, sounding like one of the guards, with Chaspel escaping just seconds before a group of soldiers arrive, believing the group are responsible for attacking the king.
Chaspel appears one last time at the Crystal Temple standing between the king's army and Galdes the Hierophant. He easily defeats the soldiers but is beaten by Yuri and his friends, disintegrating into dust.
===Multiplayer Mode===
In the Multiplayer game, the alternate time frame where the events of the single player game never happened, Cu Chaspel has opened a store, Chappy's Workshop, specialized in selling and buying scrolls and delivering ware orders for the player.
Even though he is supposedly gentle, he still has a strange demeanor, sometimes laughing maniacally. He fights against the adventurers as one of the three bosses at the Crystal Temple. After completing Multiplayer Mode and talking to him at his workshop, he says that he should not have jumped from such a high place.
==Gameplay==
==Voice==
He is voiced by Liam O'Brien in the English version of the game, who is also known for providing the voice of Red XIII in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Kain Highwind in both Final Fantasy IV (DS) and Dissidia 012. In the game's Japanese version, his voice is provided by Mitsuaki Madono.

==Etymology==
The name Chaspel might come from the word "Chapel", a part of a church. This might be because of his connection to the Temple. Alternatively, it may be a mistranslation of Chasper, a Romansh variation of the name Jasper. Jasper is believed to mean "treasurer" or "holder of the treasury", ultimately being derived from the Persian word ganzabara, and is often ascribed to one of the three wise men said to have visited the newborn Jesus in Christian mythology.
Cu Chaspel might also be a reference to Cú Chulainn. 
Cu Chaspel's name could be intended to mean 'dog of the temple' or something similar.
