Caspond Bessarez

Caspond (カスポンド) is a royal prince of the Roble Holy Kingdom and the older brother of Calca Bessarez.

Appearance
Caspond is described to be a skinny individual.

Personality
Caspond appears to have a strong hatred for demi-humans that his countrymen share. His experience as a prisoner by the demi-humans has not changed his perspectives on them. The prince was willing to kill several demi-humans by himself, even though they had been enslave and treated just as badly by Jaldabaoth's occupation. Caspond however, can be sociable when the need arises and focused at the the task at hand. Unlike his sister Calca, he is a realist and understands that sacrifices are needed to achieve a goal.

Background
Originally, next in line for the throne of the Holy Kingdom, Caspond was passed over by his father, who gave the throne to his younger sister.

When Jaldabaoth's Army invaded the Northern Holy Kingdom, Caspond fled to a city under the control of Baron Bagnen. Unfortunately, the city was captured by Buser and the inhabitants were imprisoned in internment camps.

The Paladin of the Holy Kingdom Arc
Caspond was rescued by the Holy Liberation Army after the city he was interned at was recaptured from Buser. He was later introduced to Ainz Ooal Gown and Neia Baraja by Gustav Montagnés and personally thanked the Sorcerer King for his efforts in reclaiming the kingdom. He discussed with Ainz the next step in retaking the Holy Kingdom, and the plan to retreat South to regroup with the main force.

Caspond later allowed Ainz and Neia to take their leave so that he may rest. After the two left, he spoke to Remedios and Gustav of the war effort. Rather than return to the South, Caspond stated that they would stand their ground in the city and draw Jaldabaoth to them. In order to get the demon's full attention, he intended delay the evacuation to the South long enough for demon's forces to arrive. He wanted to force a situation in which the Sorcerer King would have to fight against Jaldabaoth, and also decrease the amount of demi-humans in the area. He ordered several remaining demi-humans to be freed to spread word of the city's liberation so that the plan would go accordingly.

Abilities and Powers
Caspond is the last known remaining member of the Royal Family and thus, he currently holds the de-facto position as regent and has assumed command of the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army.

Calca Bessarez
Out of all her siblings, Caspond is the only one the former Holy Queen trusts.

Baron Bagnen
Bagnen was a fellow captive during Caspond's captivity by the demi-human army. The prince showed some concern of the baron's health and requested the status of his friend's condition.

Ainz Ooal Gown
Caspond is grateful to Ainz, because he was rescued by him and thus, acknowledges his power. However, he does not approve of his actions like sparing the demi-humans. Instead, he wants to kill them and even the ones who were suffering with him. His resentment for them was so strong that Caspond was even willing to trade Ainz the holy sword belonging to Remedios so he that could kill them.
