Mental characteristics
Personal history
For someone who often boasts that he is "an open datachip" and "the dullest being in the galaxy", Caspahr Weir is actually very private person. As a result, very little is known about him.
What is known is that he was born and grew up on Jordskyr, the home world of the Varnskyr race. As he grew into adulthood, he applied and was accepted to the University of Marantha, on the planet of same name. Caspahr excelled at his studies and played several competitive games. He was often seen with a Human male named "Dio" in tow. It was only later that many would come to realize that this was the only lawful son of then-Emperor Claudio Ellieux III.
After university, considered entering professional sports, but decided to take a year and work as a professional spacer, seeing the galaxy. Towards the end of that year, he was contacted and brought to Hesperides, where he was the personal guest of the crown prince of the Empire. More, he was awarded a Quaetor's Belt, an ancient relic that permits the wearer to be a candidate for the Great Quest, an interstellar competition held once a generation (every 25 years), and would often leave the participants covered in glory, fame, wealth and power.
The Great Quest announced for their year was a hunt of Killik bugs – giant antlike insects with a primitive intelligence that hurtle through space in hive-asteroids. Killiks had infested seven systems in the Inner and Mid Rim. Weir joined up with Prince Dio and swiftly eradicated the Killiks on the planet of Orion, then moved on to Orumel to continue hunting the giant bugs. As a team, Caspahr and Dio racked up more kills than any other quaesters in what became known as the Great Killik Hunt.
Weir's friendship with the crown prince reaped rewards, such as several important positions within the Imperial bureaucracy. At each, Weir impressed his superiors with his intelligence and deft handling of sensitive issues. He rose swiftly, ultimately reaching the position he has held up to the present day - Minister of Administration. While it outwardly looks like a figurehead position, Weir has transformed his post into one of the most powerful within the bureaucracy, and acts as one of the primary gatekeepers to the present Emperor. It was from this post that Weir manipulated a majority of electors to select the crown prince as Emperor upon the death of his father.
