Kip Caspar

Son of Lil and Jack Caspar, in 2650 he was orphaned as his father killed his mother and Vanguard soldiers killed his father. Among those captured by the Hivers for the last push against the B'hiri in Hiverspace, Kip Caspar became possessed by the Hivers as a conduit. After the Hivers were defeated, Kip retained a small measure of their remarkable abilities. He became the adopted son of Khatri N'Sha-El and trained for a while with Eye Balthazar and the Mystics of Val Shohob in 2651. Then, he was kidnapped by Graeber Brenhault on behalf of Lord Fagin and held hostage in the pirate king's underground palace on Tomin Kora. He was rescued by his adopted mother and her friends, and the palace was destroyed. He traveled aboard Sanctuary and returned to normalspace in the year 3000. During the multiverse rift crisis, Emperor Kip Caspar came back in time from 25 years in the future to help heal the rift and died of exertion in the process. In 3002, Kip was the focus of a mission to Nocturn. Once again, he served as a conduit for the Hivers - only this time, it was so that they could strike out at the last surviving Kamir. When that was done, all trace of his Hiver-related special abilities vanished. He was a cadet aboard the VES Minerva under the command of David Ransom Porter.
