He also has a thin black mustache and a mole on his left cheek.
History[]
According to The Fairly odd parents: The Magic Book of Spells, Shastacan was a prince of the Spiderbite Kingdom and the second-born son of Lord Styneworthe and Lady Sinew; as such, his older brother would inherit the throne while he would receive no title or status in the royal court. He became part of an arrangement between the Spiderbites and the Fairywinkle family to unite the two kingdoms in solidarity.
Shastacan met Eclipsa Fairywinkle at the Silver Bell Ball during the reign of Eclipsa's mother Queen Solaria. However, Eclipsa was repulsed by him, especially since she was already in a secret relationship with the size-shifting monster Globgor.
After Solaria's death and Eclipsa ascended to the throne of Fairy Land,Shastacan and Eclipsa were married in accordance with Solaria's will, and Eclipsa grew even more disgusted by his presence. At first, Shastacan was aware that his and Eclipsa's marriage was only out of obligation to their respective kingdoms, but over time he claimed to have fallen in love with her and wanted her to bear his children. When Eclipsa told Shastacan that she was in love with Globgor and hoped their union would bring lasting peace between Fairies and monsters, he laughed at her, believing she was joking.
Eclipsa eventually abandoned Shastacan and the kingdom of Fairy Land in order to be with Globgor, as revealed in "Into the Wand" and "Fairy Trap". After Shastacan read Eclipsa's entries in the Magic Book of Spells and learned of her forbidden monster romance, he ordered Eclipsa's capture and crystallization. As revealed in "Fairy Trap" and "Skooled!", he also orchestrated the cover-up of Eclipsa's half-monster daughter Meteora by having her sent to St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses and replaced with the peasant girl Festivia.
The Magic High Commission were the ones who raised Festivia, telling her that Shastacan and Eclipsa had been devoured by monsters. In "Surviving the Spiderbites", Eclipsa reveals that Shastacan was indeed devoured by Globgor.
