Information about Caleb:
Spoilers for whoever hasn’t played the game.
Caleb was born in western Texas in 1847. By the age of seventeen he was well known as a merciless gunfighter with a hunger for bloodshed. Seven years later he came across a burned-out homestead with a single occupant, a woman named Ophelia Price. She was completely mad when Caleb found her, but from what he could gather from her near incomprehensible ramblings, she and her husband were members of an evil cult called the Cabal, who worshipped the dark god Tchernobog. When her husband later tried to leave the Cabal they responded by torching their homestead, killing him as well as their young son. Ophelia blamed her husband for their plight. Caleb was immediately taken by Ophelia's beauty and took her under his protection. She became Caleb's doorway to the cult as well as his lover. He and she rose through the ranks to become two of the Chosen—the elite servants of Tchernobog. Along with Ishmael and Gabriel, the four Chosen served the dark god well, preparing for the day when He would take over the world, although earning the ire of others high in the cult like Cheogh, ruler of the gargoyles.
Sometime after 1871, Tchernobog summoned the four Chosen to The Hall of the Epiphany, His main chamber. Caleb and the others thought that they were to be given orders. Instead, Tchernobog tells them that they have failed Him, and proceeds to disavow them. The four stand stunned as Tchernobog sends in his lieutenants to take the Chosen out one by one. Shial descends from a thread of silk and takes Gabriel off into the darkness. Cerberus (not to be confused with the three headed dog that guards the underworld as this is a giant hellhound that would kill you.) bursts Ishmael into flames and consumes him. Lastly, Cheogh swoops out of the black and kidnaps Ophelia. Tchernobog casts Caleb into a bottomless pit, telling him to "consider [His] power, in a hollow grave".
In 1928, Caleb awakens to find himself entombed inside a mausoleum in the Morningside Cemetery. Armed initially with only a pitchfork, he fights his way through a long and bloody quest to retrieve the other three Chosen and find some answers. He first makes his way to the Altar of Stone, where he finds Ophelia crucified and deceased on a slab of rock. Cheogh attacks, but Caleb defeats him and cremates Ophelia's corpse. Next, Caleb heads to the frozen north to seek out Shial, whose lair can be found deep within the bowels of the Earth near the arctic circle.
After defeating the spider queen he finds Gabriel within a cocoon, dead. Caleb plucks out his heart and consumes it in order to gain its power, but not before apologizing to his "old friend" in advance. After that, Caleb travels to France, during the middle of an unexplained bombing raid. He moves through several civilized areas, including a bank, a morgue, a meat packing plant, a dam, and sewers until finally finding the lava-filled cavern where Cerberus makes its home. Caleb kills Cerberus after finding no trace of Ishmael, and moves on to other areas, eventually finding a large temple, which leads to the organic entryway to the Hall of the Epiphany. There, Tchernobog reveals to Caleb that He killed the other Chosen in order to ensure that Caleb would return, seeking vengeance, with the strength of each life he had taken making Caleb stronger than Tchernobog "ever could have wished". With this power, Tchernobog will "throw open the doors between the worlds and inherit the Earth". However, Caleb defeats Him (and the reincarnations of His former lieutenants) in battle, and evades the Hall after killing one last annoying Innocent or unarmed Cabalist in the temple.
He is 181 years old as of 2028 but looks to be about 24 or 30 years old.
Caleb is a very cold-hearted, ruthless, amoral and nihilistic killer motivated only by his personal desires. When fighting his way through to Tchernobog, he didn't express any sort of care or pity towards innocents captured, tortured and sacrificed by Cabal. In addition to that he loves making sarcastic remarks about what he sees or when he kills his enemies with joy. He has no sense of right and wrong and just does what he wants to do, without caring about anything other than his desire for revenge and pain he can cause. His other notable quality, however, is his deep love towards Ophelia and care towards the other two Chosen who he considers his friends.
Though this can be subject to change. He can be crazed as maniac as if you want him to be or he can try to redeem himself of the sins of his past. It is your choice to make considering it had been years since the events of Blood.
Headcanons:
He often has nightmares of what happened during the events of the first game. It is mostly of Ophelia blaming him for not being able to save her. It’s mostly every night. Which is why he doesn’t sleep as often as he should.
When he catches feelings for someone, he would immediately try and deny his feelings for that certain person because he doesn’t want to fall in love with someone and have that person be taken away too like Ophelia was.
Definitely some sort of werewolf or vampire.
