**Caspian Castor Culliver, also known as "Lord Culliver VIII", The Nightcaller, The Emissary of Fall, and The King of Umbriel**, is a major character in Books One through Two, and the main antagonist of Book Seven.

## Personality

## Magical Abilities

* **Hallowed Zone**: Caspian can draw a triangular sigil around a certain area on the ground or in the sky. Any Demon he summons in that area will become an Angel. He can also draw small triangular runes around three parts of a certain setting to initiate this effect until the runes are destroyed by an outside source.

* **Decarabia**: Caspian draws a pentagram star in the air and slashes through it, transfiguring Decarabia into either a flock of doves or crows.

* **Belial**: Belial appears as a demonic figure with dark orange aura. He can only be summoned with five sacrifices of previously living human beings, which is why Caspian doesn't call on him and calls him "Needy".

## Relationships

### Love Interests

**Julius Vangilder:** Caspian had been infatuated with Julius for some time after his own "death". After watching Julius mourn him, he felt a real sense of guilt for leaving, and developed feelings over time. Caspian's love for Julius is still prevalent by the end of the series in the choices he makes to assure Julius's safety. He even contemplates resetting the timeline to bring Julius back, but ultimately decides against it since it would ruin everything he worked for in life.

### Family

**Valerian Culliver VII:** Caspian grew to despise his father due to him only basing his son's worth over how much he could do for him. As soon as his training to infiltrate Vangilder to steal the Ars Goetia was complete, he killed his father in cold blood. In truth, Valerian was planning on locking Caspian up in the dungeons for the rest of his life to drain on his life force after he had successfully gotten the book.

### Friendships

**Rubeus Visconti:** Rubeus and Caspian had a history of not getting along, but it only made their bond stronger. When Caspian "died", Rubeus was genuinely upset and heartbroken, and Caspian saw this, feeling guilty for what he had done. Even though Rubeus sees him as an enemy, Caspian will always remember him as being one of his first actual friends.

**Seir:** Seir is one of Caspian's 28 demons. He is Caspian's appointed butler and messenger. Even though Seir is a demon, he has been serving the family since the rule of Pygmalion Culliver V. He sees and understands Caspian's loneliness, knowing that he is only a child. Caspian has been nothing but kind to Seir, which in turn caused Seir to deeply care for him.
