Richard & his older brother Heinrich. (There’s mention of a younger sister, but Sabrina isn’t a Kasper - she’s their half-sister from their mother’s affair with the American soldier she left with when Heinrich was 12 and Richard was 4) - Their personalities may be opposites of each other, but like peanut butter and jelly they’re inseparable when they’re put together - especially when hunting monsters and collecting souls as Grim Reapers. Heinrich is always around to pull the reins on Richard’s impulsive behavior while Richard tags along to make sure Heinrich has a fun time no matter what. Ever since their mother left their father, the brothers made a pact to stick together and watch over each other. This bond was tested when Heinrich broke his betrothal with Sonja and married Yoko instead, forcing the duties of Heir to Richard despite being the younger son and incarnation of Death with a limited lifespan (he expected to live a carefree playboy life); but with the birth of Hansel & Hannah (Death has a soft spot for children, always reluctant to take souls from them because of wasted potential), Richard reaffirmed his oath with Heinrich and took his role as Heir more seriously by taking their father’s ultimatum - accepting an arranged engagement with an Enchantresses named Sheila. But since becoming bankrupt and losing his medical practice due to her frivolous spending, Richard broke off his engagement with Sheila and now takes up random jobs within the occult community. Heinrich & Yoko had offered to let him stay in their house, but Richard mainly stays in a distant cousin’s hotel in Copenhagen where he can keep a close eye on his latest assignment sent directly from Fate: observing a teen girl named Sigrid with a rare Life Curse set to go off within 2-5 years. Heinrich doesn’t like the fact Richard is dating Sigrid now, but he sees the positive changes in Richard’s demeanor. -
