Calypso is a skilled and well-trained fighter, but somewhat of a simpleton with little wits. She is known to be quite gullible and what most consider a bimbo. She gets scared easily, having an intense fear of imps and skeletons (something she comes across frequently in dungeon delves). She often stumbles over her words, never knowing the right things to say. She's easily distracted and is often found picking flowers or hanging around inns in towns instead of doing her current mission.

She has troubles asking for help, perhaps stemmed in her childhood of constantly being put down by people who she looked up to. She makes amends with some of these people, but Calypso constantly being put down by others for her lack of wits did a number on her ego, finding herself not very confident in anything she does or says. Even as an adult, people use her gullibility to make fun of her, and she finds it very hard to trust anyone, thinking everyone is out to make her into a joke.

Journies begin

Calypso was born in Cyrodill in a small farm town. She was raised by two fathers, one Altmer (Enrionil) and one Imperial (Vontich), and an elder brother (Menelaus). She helped around her fathers' farm, mostly in the fields. She and her brother both learned swordsmanship from Armsmaster Festil, a close friend of their fathers, but Calypso was always more interested in magic.

She always had a strained relationship with her elder brother, Menelaus, who often bullied her. When Calypso heard he was learning magic in the Imperial Court, she desired for him to teach her, but Menelaus always refused. Calypso did eventually earn her own position in the Empire, training under the court mages.

She became trusted enough to be sent by the Emperor himself to High Rock to free the ghost of King Lysandus and retrieve an important letter. Perhaps it was because her brother was the Eternal Champion.

Daggerfall

At first, Calypso's journey was a tough one. Her boat was shipwrecked during a storm and she was forced to seek shelter in a cave full of monsters, her worst fear. She did eventually escape, going on to retrieve the Mantella (the key to resurrecting the first Numidium) after a very long journey full of more disease-riddled dungeons and difficult figures that wanted to hinder her mission.

During her journey she joined the Fighters' Guild.

Calypso was presumed to have died after the Wrap of the West, not returning to the Empire after the events. She did survive, however, going back to live a quiet life in her hometown in Cyrodiil. She always had a fascination by the Ayleid ruins surrounding it (she was forbidden to go near them as a child), so she took to studying them and became an independent historian. She explored the Ayleid ruins around her village, writing a two books she'd go on to publish (under a pseudonym).

She also became a priest of Kynareth, often gathering with the other priests at the shrine in the Great Forest.

Vampirism

During one of her delves into an Ayleid ruin, she met a vampire, Deliah. At first Calypso was wary of this vampire, unsure whether she was an enemy or friend. Unlike most monsters she met, she wasn't afraid of Deliah. The two kept running into each other in the ruins, so they decided to get to know each other a little. They ended up becoming mutually attracted to each other, and Deliah asked Calypso out who accepted right away. Calypso wasn't sure what her village would think of her dating a vampire, but she didn't care.

Eventually Deliah offered to turn Calypso into a vampire, and she accepted.
