Caelan is a mage dedicated to help those in needing, defeating evil, protecting the innocent, and healing the hurt. He tends to follow a certain Paladin a lot too.
Personality
Caelan's a guy that's had a rougher life but he doesn't let it keep him down. He took interest in healing magic specifically to help people not suffer like he has in the past. He can be timid and easily frightened but he's fiercely loyal to those he cares for and very dedicated to being a member of the Guild. He'll fight for what he believes in despite his timid nature. He's a more gentle soul at heart as well, preferring to not to get directly involved in fights unless he has to. He can be on the shy side as well, tending to not speak up a lot.
Background
From a very young age, Caelan and the former residents of the village he was born in were kept as slaves by a group of bandits known as the Crimson Wolves. When his natural magic talent awakened, Caelan wiped out the majority of the bandits in a rage. Fleeing into the forest, he spent time among more friendly residents of the forest until they led him to a respectable magical academy. He recieved training for years until officially graduating on his 18th birthday. A mishap while healing a horse led him to join the Altur Guild of Heroes. He's been happily following the path of the hero ever since. And while he may not be as eager to leap into adventure as others, Caelan will go along to help friends and fellow guildmates. He's happy to spend time with his friends and enjoy life when there isn't work to be done.
