Castor appear's in CHASING EVIL, for the first time. He appears when Tanner and Gwen follow a crowd to a square, where Castor is showing off his impressive swordsman ship, by beating up a little boy. Tanner mutters that Castor is a coward, and unfortunatly Castor hears. He then challenges Tanner to a sword fight, which Tanner accepts. They fight for a while and it appears that Castor is winning, until Tanner comes up with a plan. He tires Castor until he can make a move and disarms Castor, he then keeps Castor downn. Thats when Nera attacks Tanner and Castor reveals himself to be a chosen rider.

Firepos and Gulkien then fly down and fight Nera to stop her from harming Tanner. Castor then mounts Nera and Tanner mounts Firepos and they fight some more. Firepos and Nera are faking the fight thinking that their riders must release their anger and allow it to burn off. The fight is interupted by Gwen and Gulkien who inform them that a army is approaching.
