==Biography==
===Background and Cursed as an Immortal===
Kaulder is one of the early founders of the Axe and Cross Order, an order which was established as means to combat threats from the witches, especially the Witch Queen who has released the Black Death (also known as the Black Plague) onto England that later spread to half of the entire continent wiping out humanity and ruling Earth. During the hunt, he was haunted by thoughts of his dead wife Helena and daughter Elizabeth, though this did not deter him from his quest.
He and his team of witch hunters has managed to tracked the queen to her lair within a giant tree known as the Plague Tree. The Witch Queen suddenly ambushed them using her minions and dark powers, and she proceeds to take Kaulder to the tree's center, leaving his friends to fight for themselves. With his mighty iron sword known as Hexenbane (also called "Witch-Slayer") in hand, Kaulder impales the queen. However, the Witch Queen retaliates by shoving her hand into his chest and cursing him with eternal life before she succumbs to her wounds. Whilst Kaulder himself was seemingly killed by his own wounds and his body burned by the flames caused by their fight, the surviving witch hunters, including the first Dolan, found the Witch Queen's beating heart among her remains. The first Dolan tries to destroy it, but it caused Kaulder, whose body is regenerating, extreme pain. Because they cannot destroy the heart without also breaking the Immortality curse that would instantly kill the witch hunter, they choose to preserved it instead.
===Calming the Storm===
800 years later in the present day, Kaulder is on a plane with a storm suddenly approaching. Suspicious that the storm suddenly came from nowhere, he used a sophisticated technique that looks as if he performed magic on the storm (but in reality, he merely used one of his gadgets to sense sorcerous activities as Kaulder cannot perform magic). When the window shows a mystical sigil, this confirmed Kaulder's suspicion and he goes to find the witch with the aid of an ancient ring that can differentiate between a normal human and a witch. With it, he found a young witch, Bronwyn, who is in possession of some weather runes that Kaulder is seeking to stop the storm.
After distracting the man who sat beside her, Kaulder asked her for the runes and discovered that she has placed them carelessly in her bag. He chastises Bronwyn for her mistake before he neutralizes the rune's powers with his disenchanting equipment just as the storm gets worse. After the storm stopped, he spared the young witch as he confiscated her amulet, stating to her that he is trying to prevent her from killing herself and everyone on board due to her mistake.
===36th Dolan's Successor===
After the rough trip, he met his partner: the 36th Dolan who is retiring and has arranged that the 37th Dolan would be his successor. One day, the 37th Dolan told him that 36th Dolan has passed away. After the Axe and Cross hold their service for 36th, 37th becomes initiated as the next Dolan. He tells Kaulder that he remembers him from his childhood since Kaulder killed the witches that killed 37th's parents, and he has been waiting all his life to fight with Kaulder.

==Personality==
Before he lost his family due to the black plague triggered by Witch Queen, Kaulder had a joyful life. His relationships with wife Helena and daughter Elizabeth were close and loving as seen in his flashbacks. Upon their death, he became a cynical, cold and bitter person. He even stated to the Witch Queen that once he struck her down, he'll commit suicide soon, which failed due to her cursing him as an immortal (and also turned him into her future tool for her resurrection).
After centuries passed, he eventually gets better albeit retain his past personality. It's natural that the death of his family made Kaulder despise witches, though after dealing with countless of them for centuries and meeting various kinds of witches, he knew that there's also a good witch among the evil ones and learned to show them mercy. This was shown from his interaction with Bronwyn, who he spare due to the storm that she caused on the plane was a pure accident, and Chloe, whom he saw as a daughter figure and only friend aside from new generations of Dolans. His relationship with 36th Dolan can be a considered as the best friends, in which also applied with the 37th Dolan in spite of the rough start (though doesn't last long due to his betrayal that ironically led to his death at hands of Witch Queen whom saw him as mere vermin).
