APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 87 cm
WEIGHT: 128lbs
VOICE OVER: Chiwetel Ejiofor; Scar
While not as big as his older brother, Caelan still stands as an intimidatingly large wolf built with pure muscle - any fat he once had has shrunk to even less than most with his restricted rank and thus lessened diet, though the feel of his ribs jutting from his side threatening to venture into plain sight is certainly not something that makes him look weak. Even his scars only serve to make him look tougher, rather than the underdog he stands as. While mostly a dusky brown, his pelt consists of varying shades from black speckled with deep reddish-brown, to flecks of grey sprinkled throughout the darker hues and white lining his lover jaw and lips. Lighter brown patches adorn the highlights of his physique, matching well to his defined, somewhat narrow features that show as easily as his rippling muscle beneath his thinner fur. While his pale green eyes are his most defining feature, it is the bleached white mark along his right side that truly draws the eye - the most telling sign of his demoted rank, though he awaits the day this mark will be red once more.
PERSONALITY
Caelan, as many do, sees himself as the nicer of he and his brother - more honorable, perhaps. However, no matter what outward appearances may suggest, this fact is not strictly true. Indeed, he is less savage and cruel then his brother, however to say he is not selfish and even somewhat domineering at times as well would be a lie. For the most part he comes off as charismatic and confident despite his lower rank - he is one who does not second guess himself, and could very well flip someone's opinion of him to his favor in a single interaction. He does not seek to bully and humiliate others, nor does he see himself as entirely
better than those around him, though he does view himself as somewhat more worthy of power. His eye always set on the bigger picture, a strict plan for the future he envisions, he is far from one to deviate from a path he sets for himself. He is a strategist at heart, and that means taking the necessary steps no matter how small to achieve his goals, and ensuring that every piece falls in its meticulously decided place. If this means manipulating others who stand in his way, so be it - though at the very least he prefers to have allies than enemies, even if his trust is too little for him to call those around him friends. When Caelan's mind is set on something, it may as well be considered done before he is even started, for to give up on his goals no matter his set backs is far from his agenda. No matter his regrets or niggling guilt of things he has done or knows he must do to get where he intends to go, he is not one to give way to doubts, just as he is not one to surrender to his own emotions. Go ahead and think that he is bowing down to you, playing into your hand - nothing he does is without reason, and while he accepts not everything will go to plan, he has no intention of giving up no matter what he may pretend. Caelan is the sort to reach his goals or die trying - it is pure luck that he happens to also want better for those around him than what his brother provides, meaning all his manipulating and planning will be beneficial not only to him in the end. He truly is a nicer wolf than his brother, though figuring out what is real and what is an act may be a task even for himself.

HISTORY
While he was the first son to the pack's Alpha and Alphess, he was not, however, Alistar's first pup. Thus, while his elder brother was indeed a bastard born to a lowly apothecary she-wolf named Summer, he was not named Sardothien's heir, nor was his sister Viktoria. However, to the young pup, this was of little concern. All he knew was that his father was Alpha, his mother was Alphess, and one day his older brother would take their place and rule the pack. Caelan, frankly, looked highly upon his brother. Honestly he thought most older and powerful wolves were great, but to hold such command at only a year old...it astounded the pup, and he vowed to be just like his brother when he was older.
Unfortunately, Jürgen seemed to hold different views on his siblings. While Alistar was proud but distant, and Kenna absolutely spoiled the pups she had waited so long for, Jürgen seemed to despise them. Curiosity and charisma saw him earning much that was aimed to be hidden from his young ears, however, and soon enough he realized that not only was Jürgen not his full brother, but his own mother had been executed for causing the deaths of Kenna's other three pups. While Caelan was hurt by the news and certainly felt a stab of resentment toward the late Summer, he did not hold any grudge against his brother. Instead, he realized why Jürgen seemed to hate him so despite not being nearly as spiteful and vindictive as their sister, and thus tried to mend the relationship with his elder brother.
It was too far gone, it would seem, however. No matter the uphill battle of trying to earn his sibling's favor, it seemed his attempts must have only irked his brother more. Though, it seemed to Caelan that everything irked his sibling, and be began to open his eyes just slightly to how needlessly vicious Jürgen was. Noting his brother's viciousness and finding out he had attacked his vastly weakened mother the day he and his sister were born - as Kenna had so told him when she saw him trying to earn Jürgen's even still - the young male's opinion soured. What was at one time an impulsive action accidentally leading to a fight with his brother soon became a habit, and in time all three siblings were at each other's throats. Still, Caelan had not expected this fact to become quite so literal.
In the end Jürgen seemed to truly snap. On a rampage he sought for blood, taking not only the lives of two guardians, but their father, Kenna and Viktoria as well. Stuck in shock and mourning his family - as well as what little of Jürgen he had still seen as a brother - the details and bodies were revealed to Caelan before the entire pack, from the look of betrayal in their father's eyes, to the pained cries of his mother. His family was granted no such respect as a proper burial, not like the guardians that were killed alongside them, and somehow that hit Caelan harder than the way his once red mark was turned white as his brother demoted him to Omega status. Not only did that day ruin most, if not all of what remained of his trust - it hardened him. That day he made a promise to himself, and from then on, every step he took was toward that aim. He would not let this stand, even if it killed him.
