Appearance Height 5’ 6” Weight 150lbs Eye Colour Light Brown Hair Colour Blond Region of Origin Varisia Deity Gozreh Cael was born in the Shadow district of Magnimar. He didn’t have the happiest childhood. Often, due to the lack of money, his parent were not able to bring back food in their little room they called home. That force Cael to either find food for himself or skip a meal. As the years slowly passed, his mother fell sick. Since they didn’t have the money for temple healing, she eventually passed away. His father, grief stricken, didn’t from their home for a few days. That forced Cael to spend more time outside looking for anything to keep himself alive. One evening, he returned home to find his dad missing. He was now alone. During a scavenging run near the docks. Cael attracted the attention of Thodd Zhounyan. A ruthless gang leader that preys on kids for recruitment. At first Thodd was nice to Cael, feeding him, giving him clothes and showing some tricks to survive. Being young, Cael was too naïve and fell for the ruse. Slowly, Thodd trained him to do more and more illegal acts. Stealing from merchant ships at night was starting to be Cael speciality. They would swim to the chain of the anchor, climb on board and silently making their way to the cargo down below. Cael really thought he was helping. That he was stealing from the corrupt rich to give to the poor. The only problem is that Thodd, unknown to Cael, was keeping most of the loot and only gave peanuts to his little gang of thieves. One day, something changed in Cael. During a nightly run, they were spotted by guards on the ship. Thodd and some of the older gang members were fighting the guards, while Cael was hiding in the back. One of the guards saw him and moved to arrest Cael. Fearing for his life, Cael screamed as he put his hand in front of him. At that instant, the lighting came out and struck the guard in the chest. It didn’t kill him, but gave an opening for one of the older gang members to plunge his dagger in the guards back. That night, they managed to escape, but Thodd wasn’t looking at Cael the same way. The next day, Thodd came to see Cael. He said that he had a gift for him. A magical ring to thank him for the bravery he showed last night. He told Cael that the ring would help him keep Cael safe, to be able to come to him if he ever needed help. What Cael didn’t know was that the ring was a prisoner dungeon ring. This ring was more for Thodd to keep an eye on Cael. He didn’t trust people with powers, so he made sure he could keep control over them. The following year, Cael started to realise the change in Thodd. He was more aggressive toward Cael, less patient. Cael didn’t understand at first and thought that he did something wrong. But eventually he understood the truth. That Thodd was just using him as a living weapon now and not as a member of the group. One day, after a big score. The senior members of the gang were celebrating. They drank and ate until they passed out. Cael saw this as his opportunity to leave. He grabbed all the gold and the best gear he could find and sneaked on-board a boat leaving the city. He managed to stay hidden for a few days before getting caught. When he pleaded his case to the captain and also showed him the gold he had, Cael was allowed to stay on, instead of being dropped to the fish. He learned a lot about the ship. Sailing all the way to the docks of Lilywhite. Sadly, however, the ships that Cael was on was now returning to Magnimar. Not something that Cael wanted to do, so he disembarked and started looking for a new ship to work on. He also tried to see if he could find someone to hepl him take off the ring.
