Kasimir Herod

Kasimir Herod (played by Adrian) is a member of the Soul Society, ranked as '''Rookie. '''He was inducted into the Soul Society in year 12,015.

History
Kasimir was born to a sheltered, middle-class family near the center of Hara'iko. Because of his forced lifestyle and lack of spiritual teaching, Kasimir grew up largely atheist - he had no reason to believe the concept of an afterlife existed. Even when cancer struck his family - three freaking times. After losing his grandfather, sister, and dad to the disease at the age of 16, Kasimir moved out of his old home with the rest of his family, eventually getting a job at a local supermarket and searching for things to do to combat his ever-present depression.

Personality
Kasimir is largely nihilist - in the sense that he doesn't think about good and evil the way you and I normally would. He feels that people almost always do things out of necessity, and to label an action as moral or immoral is pointless - if you do it, then you do it; if you've done it, then you've done it; and the future has no implications. All he cares about is the "now," and he has no reason to see it otherwise....

Trivia

 * Kasimir's last name (Herod), and his two weapons, were named for Herod the Great (a Roman king of Judea) and two of his children, who governed the region after Herod's death. His first name is the German form of the Polish Casimir, which comes from the Slavic words meaning "to destroy peace/the world."
 * His brother's name (Marcel) comes from the Roman Marcellus, which - as a diminutive of Marcus - was the name of an ancient Roman pope in 308-309 AD.
 * His mother's name (Aurelia) comes from Aurelia Cotta, the mother of Gaius Julius Caesar.
