Narcasse was the only son born to the Lord of the Dairamu region of Pars, named Teosu, and his concubine, taken from the people. When his mother was driven away from his father's mansion, she settled in the Capital city until he was 10.

He later took up the post of secretary in the Royal Palace, serving the nobility. At age 21, the Kingdoms of Towaran, Churuku and Shindra allied and invaded Pars. His strategy drove them away, and he came to be known as the 'strategist without peer in the Three Kingdoms'.

After exposing the corruption of a shinto priest and admonishing the King on the need for the emancipation of slaves, the court exiled him for three years. He gave up his domain and lived a secluded life in a mountain retreat. There he devoted his days to painting and heavy drinking. The only person in Arslan's entourage that managed to match him was Farangis. When they celebrated the Shindran alliance treaty, both Rajendra and Guibu fell dead drunk while the two of them still looked quite fresh.

It was in this forest dwelling in the Bashuru Mountains that Darun and the Crown Prince Arslan took refuge after the battle of Atorobatene.

When Arslan learned of his identity and his achievements, he asked him to serve him as his counselor. Unwilling at first, he agreed, to build in Pars a new ideal nation of which he had long dreamed of, but also for a promise to become court artist (If we believe Darun, it will be a catastrophy for Pars).

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Narcasse through the eyes of his voice actor, Shiozawa Kaneto:
I thought that Narcasse was a very interesting character. While he is a genius strategist he is also, for example, in his own mind, a great artist. In his first entry on stage, wasn't he a man skilled at making you laugh? Especially in OAV1 and 2, I enjoyed playing his scenes.
He does have comic scenes with Darun but until the end he talks very seriously, doesn't he? Basically, he is a man with a philosophic view of everything. But he is also someone who, in order not to show any feelings and hide the delicate, fragile part of himself, has killed his heart.

Elam and Alfreed through the eyes of Shiozawa Kaneto:
Eram, who serves Narcasse well, is a cute boy isn't he? Alfreed is interesting but I think she might be trouble for Narcasse. His entanglement with Alfreed does not affect him too much, fortunately.

Arslan Senki through the eyes of Shiozawa Kaneto:
Because Arslan Senki is a historical drama, words used can't be modern. I was attentive to word endings and accents. In the CD library edition, I also played the narrator. Since this was a role I put a lot of feeling into playing, this is a piece of work that I am really enthusiastic about.
