Biography
Caleb was a male human who lived in the modern age. By adulthood, he came to be a priest where he indulged in his dark urges where he looked to kill young girls. He used to use his stirring sermons and masculine charms as a means of drawing his victims with one of these being a girl named Betty whilst another was a choir girl in Knoxville, Tennessee. Eventually, he came to be a defrocked priest but he maintained the image as he operated as a serial killer. At some point, he came to learn of the First Evil and devoted himself fully to that primordial being. Caleb came to head the Harbingers and organising their systematic attacks against potential Slayers along with their Watchers. It was his actions that led to the bombing of the Watcher Council's headquarters in London that led to the death of many of them which crippled the organisation. He then departed for the United States where he portrayed himself as being on a Catholic mission in the town of Gilroy. Caleb came to disturb his comrades on the mission and he later turned on his benefactors by burning his mark on them whilst killing the others. Caleb was said to had travelled to the women's prison in Stockton where he arranged for Faith Lehane to be killed by a fellow inmate but the assassin failed in her mission.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Caleb was a handsome young man with a friendly and enduring face, making it very easy for him to lure in unexpecting women, although this can also be helped by his clothes. He has a mop of brown hair on his head and matching eyes with a muscular build as well as fair skin.
Caleb was a ruthless, sadistic, calculating and bloodthirsty menace who rejected the typical practices of people in his profession, instead opting for becoming a serial killing misogynist with a twisted pleasure found from killing women. Furthermore, he looked to The First as indeed a higher being but still rejected the concept of God, only believing The First to be the closest thing to God and as such was perfectly willing to become his right hand man and wipe out the slayer bloodline.
He considered himself a humble servant who was ready to serve the First Evil.
His brutal nature was contrasted from the persona he tries to set himself however, with him being a very charismatic, smooth talking southerner who can very easily put on a friendly persona before immediately switching into his true self, sometimes even blending the two into one another. He is also incredibly self confident and although he hides it well has a fairly nasty temper.
