Standing at 6'4", he is a large man. Caius has a large, athletic build-- designed to sustain injury and give it back. Caius has a deep, husky voice that sounds pleasant on the ears. He has dark brown wavy cut short, but he has decided to let it grow out recently. Caius has several scars on his face, including one in his brow area. The scar has caused a lack of growth in that brow section. That particular scar was given to him in a fight when he was fifteen while dueling his ex- bestfriend, Markus. (Markus is now a wanted man for his involvement in the death of a Knight Commander.) Caius has the slightest bit of a scruff around his jaw, but tries to keep up with daily shaving. His eyes are always something that people can't agree on, what color are they? To him they are silver. Caius has a pair of full lips that are a rosy pink color. His skin is a light olive that easily tans when out for long periods. [/indent] [b][u]Background [/u][/b] [indent] Caius was born to the house of Anatolius in the city of Val Royeaux, however, following the death of his father (the late Marquis Jacques Anatolius) he was raised in The Free Marches with his mother's, Lady Atriah Anatolius (nee Trebellia) family. Marquis Anatolius had been out walking the market district when he was assassinated by an unknown woman. Since his uncle became the new Anatolius Marquis, his father's heir was not needed, as his uncle had a plethora of children. Marquis Bayard had already been in the middle of a plot to steal the family title, so Lady Atriah was quickly booted from her role as Marquise. She didn't mind much either, who was a low ranking noble to command such a powerful house? Instead she focused her efforts on finding a new husband, who would also care for her, now, five year old son. Atriah swiftly remarried a Fereldan merchant by the name of Robert Valluy. They met at social gathering in a mutual friend's home. Caius, still distraught by his father's demise, would act out as a child. Robert saw a troubled boy that needed guidance, of the likes he could not offer, and would send him to the city chantry. Caius become fascinated by the Templar order, they were everything he wanted to be. Caius had run home excitedly after asking a Templar questions about how they joined. He had asked to be sent to the Templar's so he could 'brave like them'. At first Atriah was horrified, her only son going off to the Templars? After coercion on Robert's part, she agreed. Caius was sent to the Templars soon after, beginning him on the rode of valor. He quickly befriended Markus, their bond was much thicker than any blood ties that either had. Caius soon grew to be a strong man with equally strong beliefs. Though he wanted to up hold the peace, he had a respect for mages. Sure they had magic that could be terrifying, but why was the Chantry so scared? That tremor in the Templar beliefs would ultimately be an undoing of his. At the prime age of twenty- three, Caius allowed himself to fall in love with the one thing they told him to hate. He couldn't help it, she was beautiful. With her long silvery golden curls, rosebud lips and forest green gaze. She was exactly what you'd imagine a saint would act, Wren couldn't help she'd been born with magic. By the time he knew what was happening... it couldn't be helped. Caius prayed day-and-night to end this beautiful nightmare. It didn't, in fact, he only fell in deeper. They agreed to elope and flee to the Tevinter Imperium, where mages had much better rights. While sneaking out the night of the plan, two Templars' caught her idly casting a flame in her hand while waiting for her lover. Since the orders' views on magic are clear, they would have to put her in a holding cell. After she resisted arrest, the three got into a short lived scuffle. Before she could cast her magic, she was killed. Caius got to their meeting place, expecting his new life to begin. As his silver eyes looked for his green eyed saint, he found her bludgeoned body. Her bell-like laughter, gone. The kindness in her soul, gone. Her goofy grins, gone. He sobbed as he held her cold body. A void in his heart that would never been filled. At approximately a quarter till two in the morning he rose, his legs tired. Caius brought her body to her family, explaining what happened. Her mother sobbed into her Wren's blood stained curls. Even her father cried silently as he took her small body into his arms. As Caius walked away, he rubbed the cold metal of the golden locket that she gave him. The night that they had last made love, she gave it to him with a simple explanation, "It's a family tradition to give a necklace to your husband... and since we are getting married soon.." His hot tears down his cheeks and his throats sore from his pleas. As he entered the barracks, he spoke to nobody. Markus let his friend cry on his shoulder, staying silent despite knowing he had warned Caius. As years went on, Wren's blood long gone from his garbs, Caius began to downright distain the order. At times he was without any belief of the Maker, eventually he returned to being Andrastian. Every mission or order, made his distain grow. After the incident with Markus happened, Caius had lost everyone. Instead of moping around, Caius went searching for his childhood friend. When his search for Markus left Caius high and dry, he met the Oathbreakers. After finding them, he has began to find some normalcy in his life. The Oathbreakers are definitely not in their heyday, but Caius won't be leaving anytime soon. [/indent] [b][u]Personality [/u][/b] [indent] Caius isn't open to the idea of 'soulmates', since Wren was killed. He is extremely intelligent, with a steadfast belief system. He can be hot-headed at times but that rarely occurs; he's been an even tempered since childhood. When you first meet him, one would think that he's a blood thirsty sex machine. Despite common belief and teasing among friends, Caius is very caring by nature and will often lend an ear to his teammates. However, that can only happen once they have befriended him. He is loyal to his new family, and would gladly stand by any of their sides in battle. Caius will sometimes seem blasé, however, he takes his time in studying any out of ordinary characteristics. (One thing to note: he's a borderline alcoholic. Caius has a addictive personality.) He has dogmatic tendencies, but tries his best to be polite. Caius gets very flirtatious (he knows what he wants.)
