Custas is a travelling minstrel, who was saved by Coco after he fell in a river.

Custas's personality is deeply marked by his rough upbringing. He has an obsession with fate, which he considers cruel and responsible for the hand he was dealt in life, and wants to break out of. He tends to think about money first, and values information that can earn him more, such as learning medicinal herbs with Tartah. He struggles with people helping him, very aware people like Dagda and Coco are the reason he is still alive, and trying to always "pay back" any favor. Notably, he cannot stand seeing Dagda work dangerous jobs for his sake, and asks the man to abandon him instead, despite knowing he couldn't survive without.

Custas is energetic and very reckless, immediately jumping into a river in order to retrieve goods that had fallen inside. Even after being injured and unable to walk without a sealchair, he still ends up acting recklessly and getting himself injured further. He is friendly towards Coco and Tartah, and is generally playful. He expresses affection in a physical way, like holding Tartah in a headlock or jumping on to Dagda's back. Despite having an upbeat personality, he also has lapses of frustration directed towards the world he was raised in.

During one of the Witch Hat Atelier panels at AX2024, Shirahama stated that Custas was based on Romani and Ainu cultures.

He is loosely attached to bird symbolism, like wings and feathers, and talks about fate like a cage to break.

In his birthday comics, he says he doesn't really care about the day, having no good memories attached to it.
