Background
Born to a trade family in the port city of Nicodranas, Cael was able to have a fulfilling young life with his mother and father. He spent the early part of his life learning from his father on how to manage the seas and from his mother on how to be a kind and inspiring leader. When he achieved adulthood at the early age of 87, Cael became the captain of his father’s boat, so that Cael's father could retire and live at home with his wife.

Cael quickly became a great captain due to his cunning in trade negotiations and martial skills with his crossbow during raids on his ship. Sadly, one day on a trade route, his ship was stalled and boarded by a captain of the Revelry, Wyatt Maranos. Wyatt was tactical and clear with his proposal. Give up the goods or the entire crew dies with Cael as the only survivor. Cael quickly gave up the goods as his crew were the most important thing to him. Wyatt saw this as a great act of loyalty, which he desperately needed among the Revelry. He modified his agreement. Cael must join his crew as his first mate and those among his crew who did not want to die could leave. The goods would still be taken. Cael once again was forced to make a hard choice. Choosing life over death for his crew, he took the offer. Some of his crew followed him, but Cael convinced them to reconsider. This would be his action and would live the consequences alone.

After joining Wyatt’s crew, Cael got to see how a rising captain of the Reverly operated. Extreme hospital and amicable demeanor, but once negotiations went sour, he would become cruel and violent to an extreme degree. Cael shuddered at the sight of it. Wyatt on bad days would force his crew to kill civilians if he felt like it. Cael became good at aiming and striking humanoids where it wouldn’t kill them but maim them. He worked under Wyatt's thumb for several decades.

The day finally came where Wyatt Maranos seized power over the Revelry in Darktow and became the new Plank King. Cael was awarded Wyatt's ship for his loyalty. With this newfound freedom, Cael began to orchestrate his escape. He planned to attack the most heavily guarded trade ship coming out of Nicodranas. In this battle, Cael planned to make a hidden mistake that would force his ship into a disadvantageous position. As the ship would take cannon fire, he would use the commotion to jump ship and escape. The day came and the plan was working tremendously, except a spy on the ship meant to watch Cael caught sight of the mistake and labeled Cael a traitor to the Revelry. As Cael fought the spy, his own crew, and the trade ship, he was able to get away within a sliver of life, but not without the Reverly knowing of his betrayal.

He swam back to Nicodranas, where he attempted to find his parents. As he returned to his childhood home, he was met with a different family. Investigating throughout the city, he learned that his parents passed several years back together, but with saddened hearts about their lost child. With this news, he was despondent falling into disrepair. Unbeknownst to Cael, Revelry goons found him in the gutter and proceeded to beat him to the brink of death. They intended to take him back to the Plank King, but were interrupted by a half-orc woman who slew them with her Morningstar and divine powers.

The woman named Ovak explained her story and her vision of an apocalyptic future and he explained his situation to her. The two felt a connection, a bond, and decided to work together to escape the coast and to make their way to the Empire to stop evil from being unleashed.

Arriving in Zadash, they were able to gain employment throughout the city, which they cashed in to go to the Cobalt Reserve. They were able to learn more about the ancient stories of primordials and behemoths. Of Betrayer Gods and the Titans that came from before. From there, they made their way to the origin of the Empire's war machine production in Hupperdook. They arrived there to learn more about the war’s progression and find out if the machinery was influencing the return of these monsters.
