Kasim

Kasim (カシム, Kasim) was a human hero from the Mythical Age, who was the brother of the Hero Kanon.

Appearance
Kasim was a well built man with ash blonde hair and green eyes. He wore armor and carries a sword on his waist.

Personality
Originally, Kasim was a brave and courageous person, who many considered a hero. He said that he would renounce his feelings and greed for the sake of defeating the Demon King and become a true hero, bringing peace to the world. However, Kasim's personality would gradually change when his brother Kanon was able to wield Evansmana instead of Kasim, as he grew jealous of his brother for his ability to wield the legendary holy sword and he started to sabotage his younger brother. He would begin to try to undermine the heroes and spread stories about how a weakling cannot be a hero and even sowed discord into the Demon King Suppression Army at the height of the Great War.

Despite his boasting about his superiority to Kanon, he is shown to have no problem in exploiting whatever he can to make himself stronger, such as his use of the power of the gods, while at the same time criticizing and demeaning Kanon for supposedly not relying on his own power alone and relying on others. He is also show to be a coward at heart as he tried to use  to reincarnate in order to escape the consequences of his actions, thus making leaving a lump on Kanon's heart, and again during a nightmare-induced simulation that Anos created where Kasim was chosen by Evansmana and lead the humans against Anos, after Anos cornered him and started torturing him.

History
Like his brother Kanon, Kasim enlisted in the Great War in order to fight against the demons who were threating humanity, soon rising throughout the ranks and becoming a hero. Kasim demonstrated great talent at swordsmanship and hero magic, thus many considering him as the natural choice to lead the Demon King Subjugation Army against Demon King Anos. However, despite his abilities, he couldn't wield the legendary holy sword; Evansmana, which instead picked his younger brother as its wielder, thus making Kanon the new leader of the Demon King Subjugation Army.

Thus, Kasim grew jealous of his brother's fame and achievements and undermined him at various opportunities, such as spreading rumors about how a weak person couldn't be a hero and even sowing discontent among the Demon King Subjugation Army at the height of the Great War. Kanon and Jerga discovered Kasim's action, to which he confessed to and fled, as he continued to tarnish the reputation of the heroes wherever he went. Eventually, Kanon and Jerga cornered him and tried to stop his actions, but they engaged in a fight in which Jerga supposedly destroyed him. However, Kasim was reincarnated as he was eventually reborn as a Dragonewt in the Underground World.

Abilities

 * Immense Magic Power: Kasim is a powerful human due to being a hero who was stated to have great mastery over magic, being superior to Kanon early on and being considered stronger then him, although both were inferior to the likes of their mentor Jerga early on, who supposedly destroyed Kasim for his betrayal.

It can also be used to amplify the power of magic shot through it, as well as allowing other objects such as swords to be projected from it, thus using it to attack from blindspots.
 * Master Swordsman: Kasim is a master swordsman, as he was stated to be a superior swordsman to Kanon when they were younger. He demonstrated his prowess by easily overwhelming Ledriano and holding his own against Lay, who is Kanon's reincarnation. However, Lay soon easily overwhelmed him, demonstrating his own growth and told him that Shin was a much tougher opponent for him.
