Cas Harlow

Cas, a character in the Immortal Desires series, is a vampire, and one of your love interests. He/She is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Cas's gender and looks are determined by the player.

Personality
Cas can be described as funny, rebellious, sarcastic, and has the overall vibe of a bad boy/girl. From what is seen and from what others say, Cas likes picking up fights, and he/she is usually cold and distant with other people, except with you. He/she also doesn't like showcasing emotions because he/she feels that this will ruin his/her bad boy/girl persona, and at times, he/she is shown to have no problem with taking human lives. Underneath that tough exterior however, Cas is truthful, and very protective of the people he/she cares about. This can be seen from how protective he/she is of you, and from how he/she took the fall for Seth.

Background
Not much is known about Cas's background prior or after him/her becoming a vampire, but Gabe says that he/she is fairly young. What's more, Cas says that before he/she became a vampire, he/she used to work in an ice-cream shop.

Your Character
You meet Cas for the first time in the school hallway when he/she is having a fight with another student who bullies him/her. You have a small conversation before he/she takes off, and you see each other again in the party in the woods that Gabe invited you too. There, you have the chance to play musical chairs with him/her. Later when a student dares you to walk in the woods alone, you stumble upon Cas in his/her vampire form, chasing down a young girl and killing her. When you're captured by vampires and taken to the Nexus as a witness, you have the chance to either incriminate Cas, or defend him/her. Either way, he/she is found guilty. After the whole ordeal, you meet back at the school, and Cas tells you that your knowledge of their existence is a threat to all vampires who live in Crimson Beech. In Chapter 3, you decide to hang out with Cas, and he/she takes you for swimming. He/She then offers to give you a drop of his/her blood so that you experience what it feels like to be a vampire for a few minutes, and if you choose to do so, he/she gives you the Disorientation Talisman. When you leave through the woods, a hungry Venandi vampire finds you, but Cas talks her down and saves you.

During the Autumn Festival, you can ride the rollercoaster with him/her, and later when some masked vampires attack you in the gym, Cas shows up and saves you from being devoured by a feral vampire Gabe. Once all the vampires are dead, Astoria shows up, captures you, and takes you to the Nexus to answer for your crimes. There, Cas and Gabe fight about you and Cas blames Gabe for almost killing you. Eventually however, they calm down as they realise that they both care about you. Once you're cleared of all charges and released, you have the choice to have Cas escort you home. If you do, you can visit the ice-cream shop, and have your first kiss with him/her outside your house. In Chapter 7, Cas introduces you to his/her friend and protege Seth, and that's when you realise that Cas was covering for him the entire time. At first Cas is angry and tells you to stop, but you promise him/her you won't say anything. Later, when a fight between the Venandis and the Clements breaks out in the woods, you have the chance to urge Cas to help you defuse it before anyone gets hurt.

When your mother starts getting closer and closer to the truth about the murders, you, Gabe and Cas decide to partner up and stop her by breaking into her office. Once you're in, Gabe finds the autopsy report and edits it, thus removing any evidence that points to vampires. Later, Gabe discovers that one of the victims was a Clement vampire called Maxwell Lugosi, and you have the choice to sneak into the morgue to examine the body. Afterwards, the three of you start talking about the turning process, and Cas reveals to you that Gabe turned a human. Because of your interest and enthusiasm about the turning ritual, Gabe and Cas offer to take you to the turning chamber, and tell you more about it. If you do, you have the chance to kiss one of the two in front of the other. In Chapter 9, after you are grounded by your mother, Cas shows up outside your house, and helps you sneak away to a wrestling ring full of vampires. He/She says that because you hang out more recently these days, he/she wants to show to the rest of her covenmates that you are not like other humans. There, you have the chance to drink some of Cas's blood, fight two vampires from another clan, and kiss him/her.

Gabe Adalhard
Cas and Gabe seem to have a mutual dislike for one another, and in Chapter 3, Cas tells you that Gabe has a secret he/she has yet to tell you. In Chapter 5, when Cas happens upon you and Gabe in the gym, the former helps fight off the Venandis attacking you and Gabe. Cas tries to get Gabe to come to the latter's senses and gain control of his/her state of mind. Cas explains that because Gabe had been forgoing his/her feedings, the latter is more susceptible into turning feral to satiate his/her hunger. In Chapter 6, Cas blames Gabe for your current predicament. The Venandis who were behind the attack were counting on Gabe going feral and taking the fall for your murder.

Seth
Cas is Seth's friend and mentor. In Chapter 7, it is revealed that Cas is covering up for Seth, and that the human that he/she was seen hunting and killing was in fact killed by Seth as well. The reason he/she took the blame for it was because he/she knew that the Covens would had done a lot worse to Seth if they thought he couldn't be controlled. As Seth's mentor, Cas says Seth's victories are his/hers as well, just as his failures are.

Terri
Unlike Gabe, Terri doesn't meet Cas until very late. You can however, tell her that you are interested in Cas early, and that underneath that bad boy/girl exterior he/she has many layers. Eventually, Cas and Terri meet for the first time in Chapter 9 in the alleyway outside the wrestling ring. Their introduction is not a pleasant one, as Terri blames him/her for leading you into a sketchy alleyway and for helping you sneak out of the house when you're grounded. What's more, she believes that ever since you and her moved here, all Cas did was corrupt you, and she even goes as far as to suggest that Cas might be involved with the first murder in the woods.

Astoria Yao
Cas belongs to the Venandi Coven, which is Astoria's clan. Not much is known about their relationship, but they seem to share similar mentalities when it comes to vampires and humans. What's more, Cas is very loyal to Astoria despite angering her sometimes with his/her attitude and behavior. Astoria on the other hand is very protective of Cas and the rest of the members of her coven.
