Caspond Bessarez

カスポンド・ベサーレス

The Holy Queen's elder brother / nominal supreme commander of the Holy Kingdom Liberation Army · Roble Holy Kingdom · Human (the real one); the one seen in the story is an impersonating doppelgänger · Lv Unknown

Personality

The real Caspond is gentle and loves his people; unwilling to fight his sister for the throne, he yielded it to Calca, though he also worried that she was too idealistic. The doppelgänger impersonating him is calm, rational and quick-witted, able to handle the hot-tempered Remedios with adult composure.

Abilities

The real one studied priest-type divine magic but never used it in the story
The impersonator is an ordinary doppelgänger under Demiurge: it can copy abilities up to about level 40 and cannot use Legacy-class or higher items
Doppelgängers cannot copy memories, so it reads others' impressions of the person with a mental skill and acts accordingly

History

One of Calca's older brothers and the only blood relative she trusts (12-057); also one of the few royals not resented by Kelart
Vol. 12: The Liberation Army rescues an emaciated "Caspond" from a prison camp; he thanks Ainz and becomes the Liberation Army's nominal supreme commander
Advocates holding Loyts to lure Jaldabaoth and have the Sorcerer King face him; after the war he negotiates with the southern nobles and becomes the de facto next Holy King
Revealed in the Vol. 13 epilogue: this person is a doppelgänger planted by Demiurge, and the real Caspond has already been replaced ("his body was taken to Nazarick" is unverified)
In Demiurge's plan, the second phase has him stir up north–south conflict in the Holy Kingdom and trigger civil war (unverified)

Trivia

Sources note that in Vol. 13, apart from the end of Vol. 12 and the Vol. 13 epilogue, all passages from his viewpoint are written as though the real Caspond were acting.
