Factotum Caylean
Caylean is an enthusiastic, cheerful hasher - the exact opposite of most Defiers (and most tieflings). He sings, he laughs, he cracks jokes, and tends to trust his host of acquaintances. The Athar would‘ve ousted him 'cept for two things. First, the factol likes this blood and views him as proof that a more benign attitude can mix with Defier philosophy without diluting it.
The second reason brings up the interesting story behind Caylean’s decision to join the Lost. See, the tiefling spent his childhood as a cripple, unable to walk due to the withered legs he was born with. The day he denounced the gods as frauds and joined the Athar, his limbs became whole and healthy. The Lost saw it as a sign that a force beyond mortal understanding could operate once a body’d banished the interference of the powers. The way they see it, Caylean’s clear proof that the Athar philosophy has the right of it.
The ranger has no place of his own to call kip - he stays at the case of a poor namer and his family. Before he came, this basher’s brood went hungry most days, and their scrawny elbows poked through holes in their too small clothes. But, Caylean has made their lives a sight better. When he comes in, he tosses the kids on his knee, sings a nursery rhyme, or swoops them away to eat meat rolls from a street vendor. His efforts have given the children rosy cheeks and have made their parents smile.
Caylean’s faction duties involve guiding guests through the headquarters and carrying messages for his factol. This is one cutter with a future in the faction, and he knows it. For now, he revels in the experience of standing, walking and running on his own two legs.
