The Duke of Caster is an NPC in Arknights. She is mentioned in Episode 11 before appearing in What the Firelight Casts and becoming a major supporting character in Act II of the Main Theme.
Background[edit]
The Duke of Caster is currently one of the most powerful and influential figures within Victoria's nobility. Like the other Grand Dukes, Caster consolidated her influence after successfully defeating her contenders following King Alistair II's execution, being only surpassed by the Duke of Wellington.[3] She kept an eye on Rhodes Island and Glasgow during the Victorian Crisis through her special agents, the Trilby Ashers, despite ordering Allerdale to recover the "Sighs of Kings" which puts her at odds with Alexandrina of Victoria, Glasgow's leader and the heir to the Aslan dynasty. Her motivations and stance in the conflict are unknown, but it is certain that the Duke of Caster tries to get an upper hand against the other Grand Dukes, especially Wellington, for her own ends. She is also known to have gotten hold of the only working replica of the "Stone of the Sword", a pedestal developed based upon House Caster's research on the Sighs of Kings' powers, which is required for the sword to be functional.[4][5] Aside from Siege, one of the other relatives she has is Viscount Harold Craigavon.
At some point after the crisis, the Duke of Caster became interested on R.I. and sent one of her agents, Fischer, under the guise of Oripathy treatment to observe them.[6] The Duke also holds an interest in the Kjerag region and has been lending her hand in modernizing the region by allowing them to adopt the Victorian train system.[7] In the aftermath, however, all Victorian military personnel and assets were officially retreated from the Kjerag region owing to the fact that the country managed to gain more international interest outside of Victoria.
The Duke is also a distant relative of Enciodes, the patriarch of the Silveashes, as she was his maternal grandmother's cousin. In fact, she and her relatives took care of Enciodes ever since he moved to Victoria in 1083, and even funded Karlan Trade. To this day, Enciodes still maintains contact with her relatives through Karlan's channels.[8][9][10]

The Rides to Lake Silberneherze[edit]
While she does not make any direct appearance in the event, she sent Viscount Harold Craigavon and one of her Trilby Ashers, Sir Bellingham, to find out what Karlan Trade has been plotting in secret. After a series of mishaps including Degenbrecher pursuing Sir Bellingham around the Kjerag territory, she was forced to pull her forces out after finding out Kjerag is building relations with Kazimierz and Columbia by inviting some distinguished guests, including Spokesman Mob from the KGCC, and Head of Rhine Lab's Ecological Section Muelsyse, who invited the Doctor from Rhodes Island to tag along with her. However she didn't stop helping Kjerag to develop further after realizing their potential due to this event.[11]
Ending a Grand Overture[edit]
The Duke of Caster made her appearance with Duke of Gododdin and Earl of March in a Parliament meeting with Vina Victoria where she criticized Vina's approach in trying to solve Londinium's problem post crisis. Harmonie later intercepted one of her message where she stated her doubts at Vina's capability as the Speaker of Parliament. She also noted that the Duke of Wellington will not return to Victoria's side anytime soon.[12]
Trivia[edit]
- The Duke of Caster's flagship is inconsistently named throughout the story. In a Terra Historicus lore post, it was referred to as Warship Gloriana. However, in Episode 14, it was called either the Glorious or the Glory.
