## History

### background

Callum was born to Queen Sarai and her unnamed husband on July 15, around fourteen years before Zym's birth. When he was young, his father died of unknown causes and is mother remarried King Harrow. Despite not being the King's biological son, Harrow always treated him as such. However, they each kept their distances from each other but for separate reasons. Even when they were in private, Callum always addressed him as the King, who was noticeably uncomfortable with it. When Ezran was born, Callum swore to be the best big brother ever. They often spent winter together at the Banther Lodge with their family, and often played with his brother. Ezran and Callum also grew closer to their aunt, Amaya.

Callum grew up with Soren and Claudia; he was sometimes bullied by the former due to Soren's jealousy that Callum and Harrow had a warm father and son relationship that Soren lacked with his own. He eventually gained a crush on Claudia, but never realized his crush on her. At a young age, Harrow realized his stepson's talent for art so he gave Callum a sketchbook that Callum often used. When he was six years old, Valium and Ezran lost their mother to Avizandum, the king of all dragons during the quest to retrieve the lava Titan's heart. Callum was deeply affected by her passing and even grew to hate Avizandum for killing her.

## Powers and abilities

**Magic:** Like Viren and Claudia, Callum was born with an affinity for magic and arguably could become one of the most powerful mages in the entire series, with the potential to even become the first human Archmage. By Season 4, he was promoted from "Prince" to "High Mage".

* **Primal Magic:** Callum learned he had the ability to access primal magic, having first learned this by looking through her Sky Primal Stone. Although he initially lost the ability to perform magic after destroying the Primal Stone, he later formed a connection to the Sky arcanum. This makes him also the first human being who can control magic that doesn't require a special conduit or totem. He has connected to the Sky, Moon, and Ocean arcanum.

* **Dark Magic:** Callum refused to use this kind of magic by drawing power from other creatures. He used the snake spell twice; first, to save Rayla and the down dragon and to free himself from his chains aboard the *Sea Legs*. However, the energy took a toll on his body, thus weakened him. Becoming exposed to dark magic also allowed Aaravos take control of Callum, using him as a conduit so he can mock his enemies, Team Zym.
