Overview: Castor is the ultimate rebel, not just against the entire world but his father, who he believes has had it good at the top for far too long. He doesn't want to merely become the head of the family, he wants to be the only immortal, that way his power would be unchallenged. Though he seems like he would be the type to anger, he always keeps a level head and prefers to taunt his opponent. He cares little for the well-being of others, even himself, the only exception is Summer, who he considers his pure lily in a garden of dung.

Though he doesn't admit it, he has a soft spot for children and animals. He may seem like a murdering psychopath (and he is), but he doesn't just go around chopping peoples' heads off on the street. He usually only attacks those who attacked him first (though he sometimes skirts around this, but baiting them into conflict). He is not without his honor and will not insist on fighting one unarmed (weapons may or may be provided if so) or ill.  

He considers those who drink too much and do drugs to be weak, though we will chug the occasional hard lemonade. Though he tries not to get involved too much in modern technology, he does enjoy the occasional movie or Saturday morning cartoon. His personal favorites are Justice League, Gargoyles, and Spongebob Squarepants.  

He often recites "There can only be one" before attacking another known or perceived immortal and prays to the god Mars as he draws his victim's blood. He cares little for metaphysical though though, preferring only to focus on what he can perceive with senses. He doesn't indulge in the pleasures of sex as much as his brother Aurelio, but will have the occasional romp with a woman (or man).

History

Born in somewhere around 1125 AD, the Maerti family lived in Italy. They had wealth and power, with a mother, father, servants, and seven children. Castor was one of the older children. He was brought up in the Maerti household to be someone of worth to society, to be someone of power.

Growing up, Castor was not well liked among his siblings. He often bullied and harassed his younger siblings. He had no innate reason for being so cruel, he just enjoyed it more than being some goody goody. Though he told himself this, he was initially disliked by his siblings from being born of a lowly handmaiden than his father's lawful wife.

When he was approximately thirty, his father had organized the family to be part of an alchemic/magical experiment. Using blood magic, the siblings and their parents were made immortal, made into Blood-Borne. So long as they drank blood and made sacrifices, they would theoretically live forever (blood was needed, due to the rate it passed through the body without the body producing enough on its own, and the sacrifices were superstition more than fact).

Castor enjoyed his never-ending existence, almost as much as he liked fighting. Throughout the centuries, he took part in wars all over the world, not out of some sense of duty, but for his own personal amusement.

By the second World War, he grew bored of such meager enemies and turned his attention to his siblings. He had little contact with them since their ascension and preferred to keep it that way until then.

It was after his defeat at the ends of his father that he became convinced that it was his mission in life to destroy the Maerti family and be the last immortal standing. He chanted the words so often they became his way of life, "There can only be one."

About twenty years ago, he uncharacteristically saved a girl from a burning building. He journeyed with this young girl for a few years before dropping her off at some convent only to later find out it was some modern-day clan of ninjas. He visits her every now and then, but goes to great pains to hide her existence from the rest of the family.
