Name: Caleb Arcadi (Faithful/Bold Dog of Arcadia)
Race: Werewolf
Age: 256 years - looks to be around 30-35
Gender: Male
Birthday: Nov. 3
Zodiac: Scorpio
Eyes: Hazel, sometimes golden
Hair: Short-Medium length, cream/medium blonde
Likes: sitting in front of the TV and being lazy when he can get the chance, ladies, good food and drinks, finishing projects, kids, grilling, hunting, family oriented events/themes
Dislikes: health nuts, having too many "jobs" at once, paperwork, dumb/ignorant people, people BS'n him, hates cruelty and injustice, liars, any harm or danger to loved ones
Favorite Foods: any alcohol as long as it doesn't taste too sweet (but may drink it if desperate for some alcohol), most meats, junk food, coffee (and lots of it!), pasta, he's actually not that picky for the most part. Does have a sweet tooth.
Least Favorite Foods: what he considers "rabbit" food, smoothies (unless it's a hangover "cure"), and the only time he'll tolerate vegetation is if it'll include meats and lots of it.

Personality: When he's on the job, he's quite serious and gets things done. When he's not working, he can actually be somewhat goofy/good humored and flirtatious if the mood suites him. Despite his flirtatious nature at times, he can actually be pretty serious about a female he has a strong interest in. He's easy to anger but doesn't tend show it in front of people. He has intense emotions, but he keeps it controlled outwardly for the most part, so most people don't really know what he's thinking/feeling. He sometimes go as far as to act the opposite of what he's actually feeling. This leaves people to thinking he's either very detached, indifferent or somewhat of an oddball. Has strong sense for family and is great with kids, especially his own or ones he feels protective over. Kind of gets easily manipulated by them. Tends to be a marshmallow against those he hold in higher emotional value.

History: He has a mostly greek heritage, with some norse and italian in the mix. In his "younger" days, he's been a somewhat adventurous fellow, but once he matured he became more "mellow", so to speak, and wanted to settled down.
He currently works as a detective that deals with unusual cases. Such may include things that are unexplained to the supernatural. He seems to originate from New York, or at least has lived there for quite some time. His weapon of choice is daggers/knives, he know how to handle firearms, but prefers not to use them.
He has two daughters from a previous mate who has died giving birth to the younger of the two. His mate was from one of the arctic wolf packs and she did not handle the warmer environment as well as Caleb's pack did. His pack leaders decided to pair the two up in order to strengthen and create a bond between the clans, but it was later found that she had some health issues that made her more fragile, thus her not handling the warm temperature as well. The hope of the artic pack was to have her mated with a strong mate, so that her offsprings will be stronger. Caleb cared very much for her and never complained, even going as far as to have them move to someplace colder, yet tolerable. They both had wanted a good litter of pups, but with her condition it was very hard to reproduce and to give birth. With the "first litter", there was originally four children and all born premature, but only one survived and that was Caleb's older daughter. Both grief stricken, they hadn't considered trying for another chance for a long time, content at the time to be lucky enough to have one.
Caleb, though wanting lots of children, decided they shouldn't try for anymore, because of her health. But still grieving in her heart for her lost children, she wanted to try for more. In time with newer and better health treament, they decided to try again and she became pregnant with just one child pup. Taking great caution, they did everything they could to make sure things are good for the baby. Again, the birthing was difficult for her, but it came down to choosing her life or her baby's. Not being able to stand the thought of her offspring dying before her again, she chose her baby to live, despite Caleb's protest. And in the end, that's how it went, she died not long after delivery of their second child.
Caleb was in mourning for quite awhile, feeling guilty for allowing her to go through that again. He loved his second daughter no less, but it was painful for him to remember the circumstance. So much of the time he's been somewhat distant from her, at first. Leaving his elder daughter to care for her mostly with the rest of the family.
Having such difficulties in having his two daughters, he became a somewhat over protective father. Especially since he's had a lot of dealings with the world in a less "sugar-coated" manner. He tries not to be, but many times he can't help himself, but fortunately, in most cases it was justified. He never felt too worried about his eldest as she is very responsible and also had no real interest in getting into any trouble, very much like her mother. His only concern with her is when trouble looks for her. His younger daughter, on the other hand, tends to act more like him in his younger days, being too wild, rebellious and adventurous. He almost dreads how she'll be like when she hits her teens as she already seems to be looking for some kind of trouble, if unintentionally.

Current Storyline:
He has recently let it be known that he's a werewolf since there's a member in the "family" that is consider "related" to one of his natural prey. He wouldn't harm the new tenant, of course, but wanted to give everyone else the heads up incase things get a bit awkward. He, in fact, has taken Dyani under his "wing" so to speak, because she so timid and mild, he feels protective over her. With her sweet/innocent nature and timidness, he couldn't help but feel the need to protect her.
In his perspective of the current neighboring tenant, Ariana, he was quite smitten with her looks and then her proper "southern hospitality". He's eager to learn and understand more about her, and the current position of his "job" enables such things to be possible. He finds that some of her habits or routines are normally things that bug him and they often do irritate him, but he couldn't help but be charmed by her more sweeter nature at the same time. Sometimes he's having a hard time figuring if he actually "likes" her more than a friend or not. Considering his position and Ariana's status with the circumstance, he has to remind himself to keep things respectable, as her lady has strong and powerful ties to his family.
Recently, he's discovered that his youngest daughter has left the safety and care of their clan's "den", for which he wasn't too happy about. If it wasn't for the fact that his daughter became upset over a misunderstanding, he would've lectured her about her running away from home and send her off immediately. Once she's been calmed, he explained the situation. Afterwards, he went to contact the others that she is safely with him. Originally he wanted to make plans to transfer her back, but at her insistence and stubbornness, he decided to let her stay with him (especially since Ariana offered to watch out for her when he can't). So he charged her to help Ariana out with Dyani in their business, though he worries she'll only try to cause mischief for Ariana. Sometimes he has to get on to her about messing with Dyani, too, because he's concerned about Dyani's more delicate nature.

About the race/clan:
Werewolves have a long history of legends and stories, but few know that there are various types of werewolves. Each with their own unique traits, but all have one thing in common is that they all have a very strong tie to wolves somehow. He is part of one of the oldest werewolf clans currently existing. Essentially considered the "youngest" of the oldest clans, they have a life span on average of around 500-600 years (give or take a century) and don't start to show signs of old age until the last several decades of their life. His clan is usually traditionalists, but also adapt to every "modern" conveniences, more so easily than other older clans. This is believed to be so because their average life span is shorter than most other "older" clans. Though there are some "clans" that are very close to a human's life span, most of them aren't viewed as "pure breed", as most like that are not born from pureblood, but made or are crossbred with humans or other weres. Children born from humans and werewolves are rare and usually when such children are born from such a pair, the child will either be able to shapeshift or not at all. Even rarer is that such children are born with birth defects, stuck between forms. About half of the known "packs" would normally kill off offsprings born with defects, whether it's mixed breed or not.
In Caleb's pack it's a last resort, though with modern technology and medicine, such decisions have been blessfully unnecessary as much, as circumstances would have to be pretty extreme for that decision to be made. Most other packs follow this route, but some still hold that tradition strong, believing that a strong bloodline is necessary.
Caleb's "pack" are consider one of the more noble clans, as they are known for being passionate and patriotic to honor and justice and are often employed in the medical, military, judicial or law enforcement. They are a pack that's very family oriented and have a strong hierarchy system. For the most part they are very territorial, and aren't normally open to outsiders, aside from business relations. Only exception would be to adopt children/young ones that have no family or protection. They are like most other clans in that they are monogamous with their mates, but aren't exactly "mated for life" unless special circumstances are met. Should a mate die before their time, they are free to seek another life mate. The only exception to the rule is if they went further and bonded on a deeper level, performing the ritual "soul bond". In such cases, should one mate die, the other will soon follow. Generally this is rarely done, because children tend to be involved in the picture and even though the pack members would take over the care, it is best if a parent is still around to take part in raising them.
They are a very hearty group and are generally very healthy. Disease does not normally effect them. The main concern would be on a genetic level in the mates they choose to have children with. Normally, within their "first" mating, the families pair the couple up. As mentioned, should something happen to the mate, the other is free to choose his/her own next mate. Should they take mates that are outside their kind, the rest of the family may either be accepting or resenting. Varies from family group to group, usually it's a combination of the two. The ones resenting the coupling may at times test the resolve of the "outsider", if they pass they may be accepted, but in some cases they may never be accepted.
For the most part, the clan members, especially ones who can't or have trouble conceiving children, tend to want to take in children, within or from outside their clan/species. Children brought up in a wolf pack that are not of their blood will get equal treatment until they reach adulthood, if they want to make a higher status for themselves and wish to have a mate within the pack they will be tested and be made to prove themselves worthy. That's when things get a tad touche'. The adopting parents would be supportive, of course, but it all depends on the alphas of the pack. The Alpha has the all say in things, unless challenged and defeated by a challenger.
Like most werewolves, Caleb's clan has strength, stamina, short bursts of near super speed, and also a keen sense of smell and hearing. Despite myth, pure breed werewolves aren't effected by silver in the manner legend tells, as essentially, true werewolves were never human and have only evolved to shapeshifting and being highly adaptable (concept is similar to the theory that apes are distantly related to humans). Although werewolves that were "made" have been known to have a reaction to silver, because it is believed that because their basic genes are still human, that the wolf genetics are somewhat unstable on a molecular level when combined in a body that is not wolf based. Basically when a human is made into a werewolf, the "genetics" or more specifically the enzyme of the werewolf attaches itself to the human's DNA strands, sending signals to the cells and causing the body to adapt itself to being able to switch it's function and shape, but because it only attaches itself and not fuse, it is possible for a reversal effect. Silver is a natural anti-bacterial alloy, although the enzyme isn't exactly a bacteria, when silver comes in contact with them, it causes a slight reaction making them unable to "hide" itself from the body's natural defenses. In essence, it causes the enzyme to become recognized as a foreign anti-body, therefore the body tries to repel it. Unfortunately, this can be fairly harmful to the host depending on their sensitivity.
Strangely enough, the gene rarely effects actual normal wolves the same way as it does to humans. It's believed that since most wolf "clans" are originally wolves that their bodies react differently than a human's. So a wolf that has been "made" into a werewolf, won't have quite the same effect as a human made into one.
