Description:
--------------------
As a tattoo, Calderon is a constantly dancing and smoldering depiction of a magma-covered salamander with twisted wings.

When he tears himself from the sorcerer, his form is closer to a rhamphorhynchus that is constantly alight in black flames. His skin underneath is like cracked magma.
--------------------
Background:
--------------------
One day while training his abilities, Rokhan lost control causing his flames to kill the wounded orc he was tending to. The flames refused to die regardless of the actions of any shamans within the camp. Hours later, within the ashes of the fallen...a burning dinosaur emerged and called out to Rokhan. It spoke the language of fire and demanded he take heed of his warning.

”Fire is a destructive force and is greater when unchained. Flauros demands you see this first hand! Calderon is the bringer of this revelation!” he decreed as he mounted the shoulder of the sorcerer before melding into his very skin as a flaming brand.

The other shamans and fire-speakers gave reverence to the event but most began to fear the half-orc. Followers of Sarenrae refused to accept or guide one chosen by a demonic lord. Only the head shaman would teach him in an effort to steer him away from the destructive power of fire.

When Calderon is manifested he tends to be overbearing and demanding of the sorcerer, especially when using his powers to heal rather than inflict wounds.
