Caleb Schweitzer

Basic Info
IG Name: Caleb Schweitzer

Class: Warrior

Race: Human

Pact Affiliation: Vigil Crusader

Description
Caleb stands tall, in direct opposition to the slightly tired look he always seems to bear on his face. More often than not Caleb will stare out into the distance, as if watching something; his ocean blue eyes focusing on a person or place that is not there. The warriors orange red hair is typically kept back in a tail, and well maintained as is his full beard, which hides most of a claw shaped scar. Caleb is about six foot, four inches tall, and is never seen without a weapon, usually a rifle that he carries on his back. His hands are calloused, suggesting that he enjoys a hands on hobby.

Demeanor
Despite his usually tired look, Caleb tries to keep a positive attitude. More often than not he will attempt to make jokes to make friends and will usually not understand when he's crossed a line until he already has, and also uses humor as an attempt to deflect conversations away from uncomfortable topics. He enjoys drinking, and general merrymaking with most people of any race or creed, so long as they treat him with the same courtesy he tries to treat others. Caleb has a fierce loyalty to those he calls friend, standing by anyone who would need a helping hand.

Early Life
Caleb was born in Ebonhawke to a Henry and Meredith Roarke, both of whom perished to Charr raids a year after he was born. Therefore, Caleb's knowledge of his birth parents is very limited, and his adoptive parents Jacob and Katherine Schweitzer moved to Divinity's Reach shortly after beginning to take care of the infant.

As an Ascalonian transplant to Kryta, life was not easy sailing for the wild child Caleb. Often he found himself in trouble with the Seraph for stealing a trinket here and there, only to be caught by his step father Jacob and spend a night in one of the Seraph's holding cells. At the age of seven he was put to work as a blacksmith's apprentice, mostly to keep him out of trouble, which he worked as until his sixteenth birthday, when he would go on to become a Seraph recruit. While things were rough with his stern father, Caleb was proud to serve with him in Queensdale as a recruit.

Present Day
After a short service with the Seraph, ending with his step father's retirement and Caleb's expulsion, the young man began to explore Tyria. While taking odd jobs here and there as a mercenary, Caleb eventually found his way to Lion's Arch, where he learned about the Vigil, and their constant war against the minions of Zhaitan. Being young, impressionable and easily convinced, Caleb joined the Vigil and fought in both the Zhaitan and Mordremoth campaigns. However, when Balthazar began his crusade in Tyria, Caleb refused to fight against and for the God of War, confused that a human god would cause his own subjects such suffering. Once the Commander defeated Balthazar, and the fight against Kralkatorrik began, Caleb did not hesitate to pick up his sword again and take the fight to the dragons once more. Now that Jormag and Primordius have been defeated, Caleb has taken some time away from war to think about the important questions of life. Who he is, and what he wants out of his time.

Relationships Within the Stray
Caleb has recently moved into Shadowprey to make his own life away from his adoptive family.
