Caius

Caius Hir was Lord of Caer Goch from 481 AD.
== Biography ==
Caius was born in Caer Goch in 481 AD, the son of Cynyr Ceinfarfog and his second wife Anna, daughter of Gwrtheyfr. He was the second of six children. As an honour to his father's father-in-law, Gwrtheyfr, he was sent to be a ward of Gwrtheyfr's ally Uther.
In British, he was known as Cay.
He married Andrivete as a diplomatic arranged marriage.
After the Battle of Badon he slowly fell out with Arthur, and became a Bishop first in Gododdin then in Glastonbury. From then on he was known as Caius Gwyn. He did return at the time of Medrōd's war against Arthur. Despite being ordered to kill the latter's two sons, he instead let them escape, and killed a pig instead. After that, he became a hermit in Cernyw, where he built a church at Ros Ynys. Often coming into conflict with the local King Tewdwr, he eventually fled to Brittany, where he built a chapel at Cleder and died an old man. He was either buried there or on Ynys Mon. He posthumously became known as Coledoc.
== Personality ==
Caius was a warm and inspirational man"When the rain was heaviest, whatever he held in his hand would be dry for a handbreadth before and behind, because of the greatness of his heat, and, when his companions were coldest, he would be as fuel for them to light a fire", Welsh Triads. He was an excellent swimmer"Nine nights and nine days his breath lasted under water, nine nights and nine days would he be without sleep." Welsh Triads, and a brilliant tactician. A learnèd man, he was a capable scientist, and became an even better one after becoming a priest (and soon after a bishop).
He was easily offended, and took jokes to heart. He also had trouble dealing with criticism.
After his injury in 504 AD he started drinking a lot.
== Appearance ==
Caius had tanned skin and black hair. This was due to his Roman ancestry, but also his Silurian ancestry.

== Quotes ==
"Thou wast unsparing in thy missionary labours
in Brittany and Cornwall, O Hierarch Kea.
As thou didst make the flame of the orthodox Faith burn brightly in the face of defiant paganism,
pray to God for us,
that we devote our lives to confronting the paganism of our times
for the glory of Christ’s Kingdom and the salvation of men’s souls"
"And where was your God, Ke, when the Yellow Plague struck?"
-Twdwr
