Caspar (otherwise known as Casper, Gaspar, Kaspar, Jasper, Kasper, and other variations) was one of the 'Three Kings', along with Melchior and Balthazar, representing the wise men or Biblical Magi mentioned in Matthew 2:1-9. Although the Bible's Gospel books do not specify who or what the Magi were, they have been identified in the Catholic Churches as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar ever since the seventh century.
