-They really want to be able to do magic, but know they can’t without outsider help. He’d love a palisman but trying to head towards where they live is dangerous for him.

-Sings & plays the lute mostly, though he dabbles in other instruments when he an get his hands on them.
-Caleb loves to keep an eye on what’s going on, even if he’s afraid to do such.
-It also unnerves Caleb about how much he looks like Belos now, especially as he’s closer in physical age to the man, it upsets him but he doesn’t know how to stop / alter this, he tries to cut his hair especially, but it grows to fast for him to really keep up with it so lets it be.
History:
Caleb was badly made, Belos made that clear from the beginning, but he couldn’t make a new Grimwalker right away so he had to do for now. Because of this Belos, didn’t really let him be seen by anyone else, at a push he had to remain in his Golden Guard outfit and not speak. He was given no name, not even called nephew, simply golden guard.
He survived long enough to watch two other golden guards be created and destroyed and it pained them greatly to see this happen and be unable to do anything. He wasn’t even allowed to interact with these new ‘versions of him’, but he watched them from a distance trying to help them where he could, even in the most casual of ways. However, seeing this happen to both of them, pushed him to his limit and he just wanted to get out of there, but he knew that Belos wouldn’t let them away alive, so one night, while the newest Golden Guard was his focus, he ran.
Caleb was taken in by some kind, wild magic Witches and he spent a lot of his time there. By the time he hit his mid-20s, Caleb had decided that he had outstayed his welcome and left them with many thanks.
Since then, he has been living on his own, off the land and from the kindness of anyone he knows he can trust. Caleb relies heavily off no one really knowing what the Golden Guard looks like, especially the older he gets. A lot of his scars and features are a little hard to describe to people so he tends to avoid it. It’s pretty easy for him to hide his lack of magic. However, he’s very curious about the human he’s heard of and wants to go look, but knows if he is caught out at all, it’s a death wish.
His Mistakes:
The first and key mistake Belos discovered with Caleb, was that much like all the Grimwalkers having their unique traits, he did to. His key note being that his body was physically female. This is even something that Caleb himself identified as a ‘mistake’ within himself, though he could never quite identify why he was ‘female’ as it seemed so wrong for him.
As he developed, it also became clear that he wasn’t ‘put together right’, as he developed, he began to grow ‘scars’ of wild magic like what has cursed to Belos. This panicked him while it happened, and Belos gave him no sympathy, instead just shunning him further and barely even wanting to see him outside of the uniform and mask where as before he’d at least look at him in the face.
The fact after this point, that Belos wouldn’t even look him in the face meant that even after he fled, he really struggled to show it to others, even when he was alone he’d be caught wearing some kind of mask to cover as much of his face as possible. It took a long time for him to get out of this routine, helped when he moved in with the other witches and they gently reassured him that he’s sure there’s nothing so bad that he shouldn’t feel the need to have to hide.
