### Early life

Caspar is the second-born son of House Bergliez. He is also the step-nephew of Randolph and Fleche. His step-uncle and step-aunt are the children of his grandfather's favored second wife, and Randolph was initially favored for succession. His grandfather's deteriorating health, however, forced him to retire early in Imperial Year 1168, and Caspar's father inherited the County of Bergliez. At the age of 6, he befriended Linhardt.

### Academy phase

Due to being lower in the line of succession, Caspar sets off for the Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180 to make a name for himself through martial ability.

If recruited into the Golden Deer house before the start of the war, Caspar will reunite with his Golden Deer comrades five years later in 1185. Although knowing that he has effectively abandoned his country, Caspar remains with his former classmates.

In Caspar and Mercedes' shared Paralogue, available in every route except Crimson Flower, intel arrives that a small battalion lead by the Death Knight have been scouting the monastery since it was reclaimed. Mercedes, believing the Death Knight to be her younger half-brother Emile, decides to confront him. Caspar follows her to protect her and a fight ensues, though the Death Knight refuses to attack anyone. In the aftermath of the fight, Caspar, Mercedes, and Byleth confront the Death Knight who passively affirms Mercedes suspicions. The two attempt to sway the other into leaving the war or joining the other's cause, but neither are willing. The Death Knight hands Mercedes the Hero's relic of House Bartels and leaves, warning that the next time they meet, he will kill her.

A conversation with Dorothea after Chapter 20 of Verdant Wind reveals that, as the Empire was surrendering, Caspar's father, Count Bergliez, has given his own life so the soldiers fighting under him would be given quarter. His sacrifice moves Dorothea to tears.

## Personality

Caspar leads a life bound to his strong sense of justice and loves getting into fights. He is a "punch first, apologize later" sort of individual when it comes to conflict. He hates lies and unfair treatment, and overall has a very honest and unrestrained personality. His hotheadedness often gets him into trouble and at times causes inconvenience to others, failing to consider their feelings, such as "kidnapping" Bernadetta to bring her to a secret location that he knew she would like, but failed to account for her feelings. His simple-minded outlook on life also causes him to miss subtle romantic cues in many of his A-Supports with women, instead taking them at face value.

As a crestless noble and second son to succession, Caspar is far different from most Fódlan nobles. He developed a instinctual need for competition as he was often overshadowed and sometimes outright ignored by his family due to his older brother's accomplishments and his father's status as a war hero. At times, he is grateful that he is not the one to succeed House Bergliez as he can live a life he desires unbound from the trappings of nobility.

Like most of the other male students in the Black Eagles, his relationship with his father is somewhat shaky, although he's intimidated by his martial prowess, expressing fear about having to fight him.

In his supports with Petra and Shamir, Caspar shows some form of guilt for the actions of his father against Brigid and Dagda during their war with the Empire. This shows when he feels Shamir would not want to train him due to his father's prominence in the war, while with Petra he feared she would hate him due to his father having killed hers.

## Relationships

### Hilda Von Goneril

Caspar and Hilda, under no pressure to inherit any noble titles, spent the early years of peace after the war traveling. They journeyed to every corner of Fódlan, and even ventured abroad now and again. Caspar's antics caused endless entertainment for Hilda, who loved to stand by and watch him fight or squirm his way out of trouble. Eventually, their free-spirited adventure was called to an end by Hilda's brother, Holst, who offered Caspar a position as a knight in service of House Goneril. Caspar accepted, and before long, he and Hilda were married. The couple raised many children, and were said to have a notoriously lively household.
