Cael Whitefang

On August 5th XXX, a young boy was born within the Rikras Kingdom and left at the steps of the Grimhelm Orphanage. It is unclear what happened to the boy's parents and who brought him there. The only thing that we know is the fact that the boy was apparently named "Cael". It was a name that remains with the boy till this day. For around four years of his life, Cael was raised by the many workers that worked within it. Of course, they were kind and caring as a good chunk had previously worked at Spiritwall's Orphanage. However, Cael never felt as if he truly fit in, and has his own fears of never being adopted. That's why one day he wandered off and somehow ended up in the gardens of the Blackwell's family home. It is there that he met Cassandra, who ended up raising the boy as if he was her own due to wanting to give her eldest son (Dante/Fenrir) a friend and admiring his talents of somehow managing to slip past the knights to enter the gardens.

The Rise to Knighthood

It was clear to most that Cael was a prodigy from his occasional spars with the knights and how knowledgeable he was when it came to battles. This would be amplified when he would awaken his guardian spirit (Pluma) in the middle of the night. With Pluma's arrival, the avian would teach him what he knew about fighting. However, it wouldn't be till Cael was a young adult where Cass introduced the idea of knighthood to the young man. By that time, Cael was able to truly think about whether he wanted to embrace the role of being a soldier of the Blackwell family. He would decide to become one to be able to protect Fenrir at all cost. In a short amount of time, he would rise in ranks and reach the status of being a captain and the personal bodyguard of Fenrir. This would continue for many years with Cael eventually involving himself into the affairs of the kingdom when it called for and taking down things that could lead to a potential war. He became a face people became familiar with and the most respected knight.

Then the time came where he would become the commandant of the Ferox Continent. In honesty, it was something that was considered for decades at this point that Cael purposely avoided giving an answer as he knew doing so would cut the amount of time he spent with Fenrir. However, that changed when Fenrir would leave Ferox in favor of avoiding an arranged marriage. Realizing that being a commandant meant he had the freedom to see Fenrir outside the kingdom and he could take the position he sought for, he would immediately become a commandant. The last decade or so has been him settling into his new role while establishing the goal of ensuring there's balance between each kingdom.

He finds himself happy that Fenrir isn't shackled to being the prince that he was forced to be as he always strives to ensure that his best friend is happy with his life.
