When not in battle or actively traveling, he wears a finer, but still rather casual outfit. He has been a life long member of the church of Bahumat, and earned his power as a Paladin by swearing an oath of vengeance to destroy all evil.

In Tales of an Angry Dragon, Cal is 28 years old, and despite getting older, due to his immortality blessing, he does not appear any older than 28 even hundreds of years later.

## Biography

### Early Life

Cal was born in 972 as the first born child of the Platerran royal family. He was known for mingling among commoners, helping out with their troubles, earning somewhat of a distaste from his family.

In 995 Cal left Platerra, swearing an oath to seek out and destroy any and all evil he could find. He sailed south to Earthbound where he would begin life as a nomadic traveler. Eventually Meeting Eldarin the Elegant and Sheme Shat around 998.

### Tales of an Angry Dragon

In 1000, after slaying a black dragon, Cal, Sheme, and Eldarin were sent on a holy quest by Bahumat to destroy the remaining 4 chromatic dragons of Earthbound. Cal, wishing to fulfill Bahumat's wish and destroy the evil dragons, spent the next months traveling around Earthbound and slaying the White, Blue, Green, and finally, the Red Dragon. After slaying the red dragon and fulfilling Bahumat's quest, everyone received a boon, Eldarin, the Boon of Undetectability, Sheme, the Boon of Indestructability, and Cal, the Boon of Immortality. Shortly after slaying the Red Dragon, a crater formed far north from Goldian, and shortly after, the trio faced off with a tarrasque. They survived the encounter, slaying the gargantuan beast. After traveling to Cobald City Lake to rest, the group received a vision from Bahumat, saying that Tiamat, the evil dragon goddess, had been freed from Hell, and she had trapped Bahumat in her place. So after preparing, Cal, Sheme, and Eldarin, went to Goldian to devise a plan, however, Tiamat was already there. Cal, Sheme, and Eldarin all faced off against Tiamat, and after a long, arduous battle, Tiamat, using the last of her power tried to bring Cal to the underworld, however, this only brought Cal closer to Bahumat, making his power stronger, and allowing him to finish off Tiamat, freeing Bahumat and sealing Tiamat back in Hell.

### Post Campaign(s)

Around the mid 1060's Cal faked his death, despite being as powerful as he was he feared that people would grow suspicious if he lived for too long, so he told no one, and one day faked his death and left his family. Leaving with nothing but Arondite and a small fortune of gold pieces to his name. He'd use illusion magic to keep his identity and face hidden, and most of the time wear a helmet that entirely covers his face. He would sometimes watch his family from the back lines, checking in on them every now and then, and occasionally, if any of his descendants ever became an adventurer like him, he would challenge them to a duel to test their power and prove them worthy, posing as a sort of ethereal being.

## Trivia

Much like a lot of other characters, Cal's portrait was created by splicing and recoloring face sprites from the Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem games.
