[edit] Background
Dick is the son of one of Neptune's wealthiest men. He is 20, an Aries and his hometown is Neptune, California [1]. He is part of the in-crowd at Neptune High, and is good friends with Logan Echolls. Though he didn't have a very large role for most of the first season, we learned that he (claimed to have) had a lot of sex, was a surfer, and bullied kids without money, especially Veronica Mars. At the end of the first season, we learned that he gave his girlfriend Madison Sinclair a drink laced with GHB at a party, which was then passed off to Veronica. Dick then encouraged his little brother, Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas, to rape Veronica while she was unconscious.
Dick was painfully cruel to his little brother Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas throughout the series. He and his father saw him as weak and bullied him mercilessly when they weren't ignoring him.
Dick became a regular in season two. Between the two seasons, he and Logan were responsible for burning down the county pool, as well as a few other felonious acts. Later in the second season, Dick was dumped by Madison for "older men" (Sheriff Don Lamb) and started dating Gia Goodman, a fellow student at Neptune High and the daughter of Mayor Woody Goodman. However, Dick and Gia stopped dating and Dick began pursuing Madison again.
As of season three, his mother has pulled strings to allow him to attend Hearst College,and he has become a member of the Pi Sigma Sigma fraternity. Dick is having trouble coming to terms with the shakeup in his life, most notably caused by the suicide of his brother Cassidy and his father's fleeing the country to avoid his charges for real estate fraud.
Dick has lived with Logan in a suite at the Neptune Grand since getting drunk and breaking down to him about how 'he screwed up'. Since this Dick seemingly recovered and returned to his typical moods.
Dick also got married in Vegas, but the marriage dissolved within hours.
All of Dick's behavior came to a head when his father returned, having decided to give himself up after committing huge amounts of fraud. In a huge emotional outburst, he revealed that he can barely live with himself and truly regrets how he treated his younger brother, and struggles to walk past the spot he committed suicide. With his dad's return, and his feeling out in the open, Dick has started to turn to alcohol more than ever, to the point where he casually asked Logan "the night my brother jumped off the roof, did you try and stop him?".
Dick is forced to spend time with his father and this seems to help him come to terms with the past and try to change for the better. The second last episode of the series had him apologizing seemingly sincerely to, Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie for the way he treated her and Cassidy. In typical 'Dick' fashion, he jokingly tries to kiss her after she forgives him.
