Personality ^{(122 words)}

Though notoriously fiery in his youth, clashing with his parents and prone to petty acts of rebellion, Caill has melowed out considerably with time,

Regarded as a pleasant, if somewhat distant individual by most, and respected highly in his hometown. Takes on young mages to train and pass on his knowledge, particularly those struggling with volatile or intractable powers, though his knowledge base is largely limited to magic and woodsmanship.

Very patient, and a firm but kind teacher. Has a quiet confidence to him that settles those with a more nervous disposition.

Somewhat wary of new faces, but never unkind without cause.
Bonds strongly with anyone he spends enough time with, and especially the many youngsters he has mentored over his life.

History ^{[173 words]}

Leading a nomadic existance under the boughs of the sunless jungle, Caill has spent much of his life on the move, travelling between the scattered settlements and villages.

He grew up in one of the larger towns on the jungle fringe, eventually fleeing into its depths with two other teenage mages when a magical disaster from a fellow mage attracted the attention of authorities. Spent the remainder of his youth with them before eventually parting ways.

Not bound to any one profession, Caill lives off the forest, tapping, trapping, and foraging natures bounties to trade for what he cannot make himself - and in lean times, enough provisions to tide him over to more fruitful seasons. He travels light out of necessity, carrying his tools with him and making most of what he needs along his travels.

With his many years wearing on him he has taken his last ward, a young colt entrusted to him by old friends, in the hopes that he can temper both his erratic magic and his headstrong nature.
