"Casper",[N 1] also known as 11 Rabbit, (August 8, 422 – 487?), was an ajaw of the Maya city of Palenque from August 9, 435, to 487. He was the immediate successor of K'uk' Bahlam I, who founded the ruling dynasty.[N 2][2]

Casper came to power in August 435 at the age of 13 and ruled the city for 52 years. Only Pacal the Great is recorded to have ruled Palenque longer.[2][3]
