Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas is a fictional character on UPN/The CW television series Veronica Mars, portrayed by actor Kyle Gallner. He was a series regular during the second season and the main antagonist during the second season finale.
Cassidy, known as "Beaver" (a nickname he despises), is a son of one of Neptune, California's richest men, Richard Casablancas, and younger brother of town bully Dick Casablancas. Cassidy hangs around with his older brother, even though Dick victimizes him almost as much as his usual targets. Despite his unspoken reservations, Cassidy acts as accomplice when Dick and his friend Logan Echolls cause trouble in the community. He is also depicted as very smart, earning a high score on his SATs and leading his FBLA class's stock-market game even though he is a year younger than the other students.
Cassidy is extremely needy as a result of the emotional neglect he suffers at the hands of his father, who openly favors Dick. His mother also rejects him, refusing to let him live with her since she is always travelling Europe. In season three, a guilt-ridden Dick reveals that he and his father would have contests to see which one could make Cassidy cry. Dick also admits to duct-taping Cassidy's feet to the pedals of his bike, forgetting about it and a couple of hours later finding him pedaling around desperately in circles.
Dick and Cassidy provide an alibi for Logan even though he had returned to Neptune the day of Lilly Kane's murder. Eventually, Cassidy tells Veronica Mars that they had lied to the police.
During Veronica's investigation of her rape at Shelley Pomroy's party, she discovers Dick had encouraged Cassidy to rape her while she was unconscious to lose his virginity. Cassidy, however, denies it. He tells Veronica that he ran out of the room and threw up, after realizing that he could not go through with it.
In the season two premiere "Normal Is the Watchword", while Dick is talking to Logan in a flashback, it is shown that Cassidy avoids directly looking at Veronica.
