## Personal History

Callahan Whiskerman (pseudonym) was a human from Dragon, and is the 12th Knight of Dragon. His Knight name is Boxcar. (referring to having rolled two sixes) During his tenure he lived a life separate from the other Knights, and would hold games of chance that many would come to him, all in attempt to win legendary artifacts in these games.

He participated in the battle of Iron hill, but deserted midway after Delta commanded him to go fight Big Jeremy. He was pursued by fellow Knight No.3, and Callahan had to fight them off, resulting in death of the pursuer.

After his escape he entered Purithra Gild, where he was employed by the Halfling Johnswort family. He took on the character of a downtrodden regular human. There he worked under Eliza Johnswort and as the two of them came to know each other they eventually became close, close enough for Callahan to tell Eliza of him being a knight. Callahan fought with Eliza about how he lied who he was and Eliza feeling cheated. That and being a Knight of Dragon was not approved by Eliza's mother and father, who then cursed Callahan Whiskerman into the form of a tabby cat.

And thus began the journey of Eliza and Callahan, to find The Hat of Many Faces which the two believe can return Callahan into his human form. Eliza wants to turn him back to help her figure out if Callahan was truly the one she came to know. The small feeling of a romantic connection from before the cat turning incident grew while they truly came to know each other in their forest travels, and after Callahan was returned to his human form by the hat the two realized that they are the people they met back in Purithra Gild, and that both grew in their travels.

## Looks and Personality

He is very street smart, laid back, charming and smooth talking. Yet he does not cheat in his games of chance, for he is that good. During his time as a Knight of Dragon, he lived a freewheeling life and didn't create strong bonds with his fellow members. He has many identities he used while he wandered Fantasy before the battle at iron hill.

Boxcar only really got along with Headless Seven, due to similar personalities, got along well, and most definitely hooked up. However, the two realized they where best to stay as friends. When headless didnt show at the battle.... it showed 12/boxcar/Callahan that he didn't have to follow the call of the horn.

He didnt get along with B♯ who's personality was too arrogant, while Sidecar was confident enough in himself to not try to prove himself constantly. Sidecar enjoys the gambling because he gets to be around other people and have the thrill of the game. A cheerful nihilist, His destiny was to die on the battlefield, so there is no point to creating ties or claiming greatness when on borrowed time.

In his cursed for of a cat, Callahan is a tabby cat, who carries a pouch around his neck that carries his pet mouse (a mouse that is from his urchin background)

Callahan, proficient in throwing weapons, is able to make best use in his abilities in gambling activities. Darts, dice, cards, a superhuman like hand eye coordination is used.

The Boxcar character of 12 died at iron hill, and the Callahan character is what he wants to be

All he wants is to be able to live a laid back relaxed life.
