OverallEdit
Castor's growths tend to be a bit low, nevertheless he can become a good horseman for those who prefer to keep units in their original classes rather than resorting to the reclassing system. He has much more strength than that of Jeorge and Gordin, allowing him to step up a bit more. Otherwise, there will most likely be some better options than Castor.
Recruit ConversationEdit
Shiida: Castor!? It is you, isn't it? Must even good men like you betray Talys now?

QuotesEdit
As an enemyEdit

Death QuoteEdit
“Mother... I tried my best...”
—Castor's death quote in Shadow Dragon
EtymologyEdit
The Roman Castor (Greek - Kástōr) is the twin brother of Pollux. According to certain myths, Castor was a mortal while Pollux was immortal; so when Castor died, Pollux chose to share with him his own immortal life. It is in that myth that the two came to live together as the constellation of Gemini, the twins. Castor means 'beaver' in Latin.
His Japanese name, Kashim, possibly refers to a public dwelling where the Eskimos would gather on special occasions. It may also be a variant of the Arabian name Qasim (often spelled Kasim) meaning 'dispenser' or 'divider'. There is a number of known African and Asian figures who had this name.
TriviaEdit
- The mythical Castor is very commonly depicted as a horseman. In the game, Castor's promoted form is the Horseman.
- 'Castor and Pollux' sometimes referred to the double glimmer (AKA. St. Elmo's Fire) seen by sailors at night, though it is not very likely that the translators made such an association between Castor's name and his working for pirates.
