Caetanno

**Caetanno**, better known as **the Bandit King**, and **The Artifact**, when he was sealed, is a major antagonist of the *Talk About Random series*, especially in the first phase of the *New Series Trilogy.*

Caetanno is the posthumous main antagonist of the Neopian Middle Ages arc, secondary antagonist of the Spectrum Island arc, the main antagonist of the Ice Kingdom arc, and a minor posthumous antagonist of the 2028 Moltara City Olympic Games arc, all in *Talk About Random: New Beginnings*.

Caetanno was a bandit with his own army and tried to take over the Neopian Kingdom in 1497. However, when the elemental powers were being discovered, his evil endeavors were foiled by the newly powered king. 531 years later, Caetanno returned and possessed Blayne, which he ultimately betrayed his family, by force.

## History

According to Sir Blayne, being Caetanno's cousin, he was being mischievous on committing thefts around Mystras. After a month of committing larceny, he was finally apprehended by the Mystras Royal Family and incarcerated. However, he somehow escaped prison and began to wreak havoc among the villagers and rob of their small businesses. He angered King Sylvestre and the rest of the kingdom that he illegally gained his freedom. However, he somehow learned the hidden ice element and uses it as his advantage to weaken Mystras and the kingdom.

## Personality

Caetanno is more interested on how to overthrow the ruler of the whole Neopian Kingdom, starting with the kingdom's capital, Mystras.

### Spectrum Island arc

Although he doesn’t make a physical appearance, he appears as a sealed away as **The Artifact**, which Blayne hides from the brothers. When Buizel and Blayne arrived to Spectrum Island, Caetanno got frustrated that Buizel ruined his plan in Neopia and dragged his future cousin away from their home turf. When they visited Greensboro, Blayne hides in the hallway and haves a conversation with the artifact.

### Ice Kingdom arc

As soon as they docked in the harbor coming from Spectrum Island, Sylvestre previously had a nightmare about Blayne. The next morning, Sylvestre still feels the nightmare he had. When he took a peek of his coffee, it reflected to Caetanno, prompting Sylvestre to toss the coffee out of fear and anger.

### 2028 Moltara City Olympic Games arc

Although he does not appear in the games, he is mentioned when Anton kidnapped Blayne. Anton tried his best to get through Blayne's mind but it was unsuccessful. However, the real reason for Blayne for unleashing his deceased ancestor is to get rid of him. Caetanno had corrupted his mind since he possessed the artifact where he sealed himself in.

## Appearance

Caetanno is an Ice Hissi, with sky-blue eyes, and wears a skull. He also wears a brown robe with three belt buckles. When he was sealed for 531 years, his artifact appearance is shaped like diamond, colored sky-blue with reflection, and some cracks around it.

## Trivia

* Caetanno is the first antagonist of the new series to appear three times.
