His Childhood, and Beginning
As the first legitimate son of William and Sophia Arundel, Caspius was raised in a harsh and strict fashion. Honor and glory had been drilled into him, told to serve realm and kingdom, but most importantly, one's honor. He'd pride himself in dueling and sword-fighting, learning to use the two handed claymore with great finesse. A strong influence in his life was his younger sister Katerina, who inflicted upon him the grandeur of tales and legends. Upon hearing them, Caspius immediately knew his destiny, wanting to become a hero who lead his men into battle; having no fear or hesitation. Knowing Dwilight wasn't the land of frequen battles, besides the occasional monster incursion, Caspius decided to take sail on approach to the Far East - leaving his beloved sister behind in pursuit of selfish desires. After his long journey, he landed in Cathay, a realm rooted in justice and honor, but more importantly, dead center of all conflicts. He became a knight of Isular, a border region, hoping for battle.
A New Realm
Eventually, conflict occurred, though not in the fashion the knight hoped for. C'thonia, a realm battered by Kindara, became primary target for Cathayan incursions, and without declaration of war, there was little room for glory. Doubts arose, questions asked, and dissent generated throughout the realm. When Duke Optimus succeeded the ill King Brian, General Anatole, who was runner-up, seceded Colassan, and formed the realm of Toupellon (with the collaboration of many foreign dukes.) Caspius was immediately drawn into its ranks, and rapidly became the vice-marshal of the offensive army, tasked with holding the southern border.
Rise to Power
Concerned of his realm's ever-growing reaches, King Anatole rapidly created the Rearguard of Toupellon to improve stability and wealth in the north. After long debates within the War Council, Caspius was named marshal of the new army, and sought to immediately exercise his newly acquired authority. Rapidly, orders were sent out to effectively increase production in the duchy of Akanos, and to further his mission, Caspius offered oath to Duchess Taylin Indirik - providing much needed support to the city.
