[indent]The Searing Gauntlet[/indent]
[b][u]Description[/u]:[/b]
[indent]Caelum is short at 5'4" and possesses fairly androgynous characteristics such as long eyelashes and big, doe eyes. Even without wearing a mask, his sharp, aristocratic facial features and high cheekbones would give most pause when trying to work out exactly [i]what[/i] he is. Built slim and breakable, it seems like he has little muscle anywhere on him and would be blown over in a strong wind. Prematurely greying hair is the only thing suggesting that he isn't in his early twenties.

Other notable traits include: a pierced ear, visible eczema on most exposed skin and a missing ring and little finger on his left hand. Caelum has an assortment of scars elsewhere, some of which were from general wear and tear and mistakes; however, his knees have more scarring from surgery – knee joint replacements. Generally he stays somewhat concealed with a mask and/or a hood and a light suit of combat armor.[/indent]
[b][u]Skills[/u]:[/b]
[indent]As a spy first and foremost (though that is not to say he doesn't dabble in other lines of work), Caelum is naturally light-footed, stealthy and adept at mundane skills like breaking and entering and sitting in an air vent for torturous hours at a time listening in to conversations. Whilst he does not carry guns as a rule, he is not at all unfamiliar with fighting, and his weapons of choice just happen to be garrotes, his own fists or anything he can pick up around him. Notably, Caelum is particularly fast and flexible.[/indent]
[b][u]Biography[/u]:[/b]
[indent]Caelum C. Cassidia was born on Terra, the third son of an aristocratic family with a large brood of children. Whilst his mother hailed from the Faded Kingdom, a seemingly well put-together woman whose Essence addiction surfaced later in life when she could hide the effects it had on her health no longer, Caelum's father was a high-ranking governor of The Gauntlet – an organisation he expected all of his five sons to join when they came of age.

With twelve years between him and his next oldest brother, Caelum watched as his older siblings headed into the Church of Harmony and the Church of Valor respectively, climbing through the ranks with an ambition and thirst for power that they shared with their father. Soon there were two politicians named Governor Cassidia in the courts. From eight years old onwards, Caelum was enrolled in a strict military school from which recruits would be taken to the Church of Valor at age sixteen. His time at the school taught him a few important lessons, one of which was to speak only when spoken to.

The second was how [i]easy[/i] it was to network, especially when he could bring contraband into the premises to barter with. Caelum, though suspiciously quiet through most of his years was a troublemaker and barely made it into the Church of Valor. He was out-of-place, instilled with none of the military precision he would need, and he was utterly miserable, moping. Not two months in, his file made it to the desk of an associate, who passed it onto the Church of Reckoning, who in turn reached out to offer him a placement – an internship – under one of their more experienced members.

And so, Caelum became the first Cassidia to join the Church of Reckoning out of a lineage that (supposedly) dated back to the War of the Unmakers if not beyond. He was talented, though that wasn't at all unusual for those recruited by said sect, but learned more from his tutor – a proud, silent man who brooked no failure from the boy. By seventeen he was allowed to be sent away from Terra and further afield to places where poverty where all too plain and corruption rank – mostly the cities of the Faded Kingdom.

Caelum kept his ear to the ground for years, working to provide intelligence for The Searing Gauntlet for the betterment of humanity, performing hits once or twice when it was necessary to prevent further death and destruction. Some were successful, some failures, and some just utter trainwrecks from start to finish such as the one that led to his capture and the loss of two of his fingers, as well as requiring new joints in his knees. Whilst out of action for three years in recovery back at home on Terra with his family, he alienated them almost completely through generally hating his life and being unable to walk without pain for most of that time. It would take until his twenty-eighth year for him to be fit for active duty again and return to the universe as a whole.

His travels led him to a planet near Baelzarus VI, and when the Church of Reckoning required an agent to 'deal' with the problematic house associating themselves with the Feral Shadow, he was the only game in town. Caelum was put into contact with a squad ready to tackle the threat of humans working with their enemies for power alone.[/indent]
