History
Early Life
When Caspar was young, he had been close friends with Margarita Felix. At the time, they made a promise with each other although Caspar forgot about it some time after.[1] Years later, Caspar became the Marquis and, interested in acquiring Doctor Felix's wealth, influenced a political marriage between himself and Margarita, allying their two families and linking together their finances.[2]
Shortly afterward, Caspar openly cheated on Margarita, bringing multiple women to their home in Toragay and blatantly philandering with them in front of her.[3] Eventually, he made it apparent to his wife that he neither remembered nor cared about their childhood promise and held no romantic interest in her, only using her for financial convenience.
Toragay Serial Killings
In EC 609, Margarita approached her husband, concerned about his lack of sleep due to stressful circumstances. Caspar was offered a "gift" from his wife in the form of a sleeping medication to help with his insomnia and allowed his wife to administer it to him.[4] Slipping into a deep sleep, Caspar lapsed into a coma before dying of the poison.
Legacy
After his death, Caspar's name would be mentioned in news reports as having passed away and would be the first of many victims who were killed by his wife, Margarita. By the time Elphegort hired the Freesis Foundation to investigate the incident, the city was already a ghost town.[5]
Character Connections
Margarita Blankenheim: Caspar's childhood friend and wife. They used to be close, making a childhood promise to her, but as he grew up, he became more selfish and only saw her as a means to get rich. He preferred the company of younger or more beautiful women to her. Nonetheless, he appeared to trust her judgement or loyalty to him, shown by accepting her "gift" to help him sleep at night.
Trivia
Conceptualization and Origin
- Caspar's name is derived from the Hebrew word for "treasurer"; traditionally, the name is assigned to one of the biblical Three Magi and translates as "Master of the Treasure".
- His surname, Blankenheim, is the name of two German municiplaties; Elphegort, Caspar's native country, is inspired by Germany.
- In numerology, the name Blankenheim is associated with being emotional, sentimental, inquisitive, independent, and ruled by love, needing encouragement or affection when unloved and feeling unhappy when there is a lack of harmony.
- Caspar's name is partially inspired by the name of his representative Vocaloid, KAITO, with Caspar's romanization beginning with the letters "ka".
Curiosities
- Caspar, portrayed by KAITO, references his Vocaloid's other characters and their connection to Greed due to his name's meaning and the economical motivations behind his marriage to Margarita.
- Despite this, he ironically exhibits traits of Sateriasis Venomania, the sinner of Lust murdered by Kachess Crim.
