==History==

===Early life===
Castimir was raised by an unnamed uncle in [[Rimmington]]. There, he spent a nice childhood filled with such activities as attacking the nearby [[Giant rat]]s with sticks and stones with his friend [[Squire Theodore]] and experienced a madman raving about the lost city of [[Zanaris]] and the [[Fairy Queen]]. In his teenage years, Castimir's uncle attempted to get him to become an apprentice crafter to [[Rommik]]. After a failed attempt to make a gold ring that resulted in Castimir breaking everything and scalding Rommik. Rommik developed a grudge against Castimir, thus ending his career as a crafter. Some time later, a wizard spotted Castimir's potential as a wizard and gave him some runes to cast a [[Fire Strike]] to prepare for the [[Wizards' Tower|Wizard Tower]] entry exams. Instead of killing a rat, Castimir accidentally set fire to [[Rommik's Crafty Supplies]].

===Journey through Gielinor===
After the incident, Castimir completed his entry exams and departed on his one year adventure. He made a brief trek into [[Kandarin]], crossing over [[White Wolf Mountain]] with a group of travelers. Near the end of the journey through the mountain, his mule was injured by a wolf and dies, giving Castimir reason to buy a yak from a [[Fremennik]] fur trader.

===Betrayal at Falador===
Nearing the end of his year-long journey, Castimir headed back to the Wizard's Tower, stopping at [[Taverley]] where he met [[Ebenezer]] and [[Gar'rth]]. He was also reunited with his old friend, [[Squire Theodore]]. After a brief catching up with his childhood friend, [[Squire Theodore|Theodore]], Castimir joins Ebenezer and Gar'rth as they travel to the [[Monastery]] to cure Gar'rth of his lycanthropy. Stopping at [[Gunnarsgrunn]], Castimir meets the [[Arisha|barbarian priestess]] and his supposed crush, Arisha, who was also heading to the Monastery, [[Kara-Meir]] who was running away from [[Falador]], [[Doric]] and Squire Theodore, who were chasing after Kara-Meir.

===Aftermath of Betrayal at Falador===
After the [[Siege of Falador]], Castimir took [[Master Segainus]]' tomes of knowledge and planned to head to the [[Wizards' Tower]] to complete his training. He planned to meet up with his friends at [[Varrock]] on Midsummer's Eve. He was named one of Ebenezer's heirs. He also planned to write to [[Arisha]] because "she still has my yak...".

==Return to Canifis==
Castimir travels to Varrock meeting [[Gideon Gleeman]] on the way. He hands in his thesis to [[Aubury]] and barely passes. During the festivities of Midsummer's Eve, he helps save [[Felicity]] from the [[Wyrd]], and saves Gar'rth when [[Captain Rovin]] attacks him. For this he is sent as part of the embassy to Morytania. While in Canifis, he discovers that the werewolves have a massive stock of runes as well as a tome similar to those held by Master Segainus which he steals during the attack on Canifis by the Myreque. He is captured and taken prisoner by [[The Black Prince]], but is released shortly after. He manages to survive the attack launched by [[Vanescula Drakan]] to kill all of the [[Myreque]] from [[Hope Rock]] and escapes across the river Salve.

==Legacy of Blood==
Following his return from Morytania, he is escorted to Varrock by [[Captain Hardinge]], where he is arrested for theft and beaten by the Varrockian guard. He is held prisoner in bad conditions until his trial before Aubury, [[Seridor]] and [[Grayzag]]. He is found guilty and expelled from the Tower by a unanimous vote, but is spared death by Aubury, who votes against it.

==Abilities==

It has been shown that Castimir is highly skilled in magic, capable of using high-level spells like [[Snare]] on [[Jerrod]] the [[werewolf]], or possibly even [[Superheat Item]] as he demonstrated on breaking the lock of a door in the [[Monastery]] during the [[Battle of the Monastery]]. He is also shown to be able to come up with cunning plans that are able to deceive even the most cunning of enemies.

He is also able to fish, a skill he shared with [[Squire Theodore|Theodore]], his childhood friend from when he was living in [[Rimmington]].

On the other hand, Castimir was not skilled at Crafting, and was known to break whatever he tried to craft, much to his tutor [[Rommik]]'s displeasure.

==Relationships==

===Arisha===
It has been hinted that Castimir has a romantic interest with the barbarian priestess, [[Arisha]]. Unfortunately, though never mentioned in the novel, their love is an impossible one as barbarians hate magic and Castimir is a wizard.

===Ebenezer===
Throughout [[Betrayal at Falador]], Castimir and Ebenezer had a debate about which is better: magic or science. Castimir defended magic and Ebenezer defended science. Despite this, they remained good friends.

===Squire Theodore===
During Castimir's childhood in [[Rimmington]], he became good friends with [[Squire Theodore]], who he nicknamed "Theo". Following his expulsion from the Wizards' Tower, he blames Theodore for ruining his career and acting in a selfish manner to preserve his honour.

===Rommik===
Due to a number of incidents such as Castimir breaking a large quantity of items while making a [[gold ring]] in order to become a crafter and setting fire to [[Rommik's Crafty Supplies]], Rommik holds a grudge against Castimir.

===Captain Rovin===
As Castimir wounded Rovin to save Gar'rth, Rovin holds a hatred for Castimir and beats him when he is being arrested for theft.

===Aubury===
Castimir harbours a resentment towards Aubury for expelling him from the Wizards Tower and ruining his career.

==Trivia==
*Castimir's [[Magic]] level is at least 50, as he can cast [[Snare]].
*Castimir's [[Crafting]] level is under 4, as he has trouble making a [[gold ring]].
*The examine info for a table in [[Wizard Sedridor|Wizard Sedridor's room]] is 'A scroll lies here. It reads 'Castimir's Expulsion'. This is a reference to the events in Legacy of Blood, where Sedridor sits on the panel that expels Castimir.
