Caissa Fianchetto

**Caissa** is one of the potential love interests in Gilded Shadows. He can also appear in other routes.

## Appearance

Caissa is a pale man with shoulder-length, wavy hair that is dark brown. His eyes are light blue.

Caissa possesses several tattoos, including black and white roses on his throat and bird wings on his upper back and the backs of his arms.

When at home or in a more rigid setting, he wears a black shirt with a red brocade vest. Other times he wears a more casual all-black outfit.

He wears several silver rings on his fingers and also has pierced ears (though his piercings are not usually visible.)

## Personality

Caissa is a quite, serious man who can come across as cold and ruthless to those who don't know him. He is adept at putting on whatever mask is necessary for a given situation and can navigate the political environment within Crimson with relative ease (though he is still frequently viewed as being 'too soft.')

He is markedly intelligent and observant of his surroundings and tends to listen more than talk.

Though reserved with people he doesn't know, he is far more casual and friendly among those he considers his people.

He cares deeply for those under his care and will go to great lengths to protect them.

## Abilities

* **Clairvoyance** - As an Esper, he possesses the standard baseline of clairvoyant awareness.
	+ "Sphere" - it's unknown how wide Caissa's sphere is, but he possesses enough awareness he could tell when Morgan was unable to sleep and her sphere kept intersecting his.
	+ "Cage"
	+ "Reverse Cage"
* **Telekinesis** - Caissa's telekinesis is considerably weaker than Morgan's as shown when he was unable to move a large weight she was practising with.
* **Technokinesis** - He usually demonstrates this with his ability to quickly delve into systems and locate information others are unable to access. He also demonstrates, on at least one occasion, the ability to use the nanites to stop someone's heart.
* **F-Class Awareness** - Caissa has the ability to sense and locate other F-class Espers, which is how he became aware there was a queen rank in New Albion.

## Relationships

#### Keres Fianchetto

Caissa and his father has a tense relationship. He views his father as a reprehensible and cold individual with whom he cannot get along and he doesn't trust him at all. However, growing up, he saw how Keres was with Deimos and knows there is a softer side for him. Though he rarely admits it - even to himself - he yearns for his father's love and is sad about the fact he will never receive it or live up to his father's expectations.

#### Jack Viscer

Jack is Caissa's closest friend and while the two of them frequently tease and antagonise each other, there is no one that Caissa trusts more. Jack is one of the few people Caissa opens up or would go to for advice. And he would go to great lengths to protect Jack and ensure his well-being. He considers Jack his "right hand man" though officially, Jack is just his bodyguard.

#### Deimos Fianchetto

Caissa's older brother was the one who spent the most time with him when he entered the Fianchetto manor. They were very close and Caissa looked up to him immensely. He was devastated when Deimos died and continues to mourn him into the present. He viewed Deimos as someone he aspired to be like.
