August Caspian

August "Gus" Caspian is a character from the novel RWBY: After the Fall. He is the grandson of Edward Caspian.

Personality
At first, Gus was a timid and shy young boy, who had a tendency to be be defensive and secretive due to self-conciousness about his own Semblance and its negative effects. He is a convincing liar who uses his Semblance's effects to indirectly try and do good, as he does not like fighting.

August has strong adversities to being a Huntsman, but by the end of the novel, is somewhat more confident and less against the aforementioned field of work.

Semblance
Gus' Semblance allows him to amplify the emotions of those around him, whether positive or negative. However, he can only amplify emotions the target is currently feeling, such as Bertalik Celadon's anger against Team CFVY.

Additionally, Gus is scared to use his Semblance, as he has not mastered control over it and he fears the emotions would attract the Creatures of Grimm. His Semblance is considered to be very powerful if it were mastered.

History
Gus was born in the settlement of Sumire in Vale, where his parents where killed due to a Grimm invasion around the age of 11. As a result, he was taken care of by his grandfather, Edward Caspian.

Edward hired Carmine Esclados and Bertalik Celadon  to safely transport them to the settlement of Gossan, in Vacuo. The group eventually traveled to Gossan, but then moved to Feldspar as the original settlement was destroyed by Grimm, where they met Team CFVY.

During their travels, Gus' Semblance would have to consistently be blocked by his grandfather.

The Huntsmen-in-training lead the nomadic tribes to the settlement of Coaquina, but when a sandstorm blew over, Carmine and Bertalik revealed their scheme to kidnap and traffic the Caspians to an unknown employer for their Semblances. Carmine kidnapped Gus, but was prevented from completing her objective and arrested by Team CFVY. Edward and August arrived in the settlement of Coaquina safely, along with the other travelers.
