Biography: Out of 100 lineages of female rulers, Kal was the first male to be born into his mothers bloodline. Æglecia was a bit upset at this, and she watched him like a hawk, under the impression that if he couldn’t live up to her standards, then he was going to die.
Æglecia felt that he was different. She felt that for her son, he was too weak and she would do things to him so that he could be stronger like making him fight alpha males in their clan, and she even beat him herself if she saw that he wasn’t listening to her. Kal was unnecessarily mean to other clan members, and he would start fights, but he had a group of friends that he would hang out with. As he got older, many of them wondered why he never had a mate or anything like that. Kal never wanted to do this, so he kept himself really busy by going out on hunting missions for weeks at a time, which his mother liked. She caught up to him and she told him that he would be marrying a girl named Phire, who came from their rival clan, the Two-Claw clan. He was devastated, but he did as his mother said.
They were married a week later, and although she was a tough and brace girl, Kal had no interest in her. His mother pressured him to consummate the marriage, but he really didn’t want to. That night, he thought of something that was surely going to cause trouble. That night, he told Phire that he was actually half human and that if they had kids, then they wouldn’t be real demons. She was disgusted and she fought with him, throwing him out and demanding that their marriage was over.
The lie that Kal told backfired, and Æglecia was seen as a traitor to her race and many of her clan members wanted nothing to do with her. It took her a while to convince her clan mates that she and Kal were pure demons, but that left a large sea of distrust between all of them. After this, Æglecia was pissed. He told her that he didn’t like what his mother had done to him. For the longest time, they were hostile to one another, and Kal contemplated leaving his clan completely, but that’s when things started to change.
A boat washed up into the shores of their beach, and 5 people were taken as prisoners. These prisoners included a Werewolf, a Vampire, two training witches, and some sort of creature that Kal had never seen before. Æglecia recognized the werewolf as being the son of the Anselem’s, a powerful werewolf family that lived in Italy, and she said that the creature was a half demon. She didn’t want it anywhere near her people, so she chose to lock him up.
Kal didn’t think that this was fair at all, but he had to obey his mothers wishes. Days passed and Kal was worried about the prisoners, so he went to the dungeons and he brought them some things. One day he was down there when he heard them talking. They stopped speaking, assuming that he didn’t understand English, but he listened to what they were planning. The witch girls and the vampire were going to make use of their friends transformation the next day. They were hoping that he would turn, break out of his cage, and distract them long enough to get the keys. They would then undock the ship and sail off.
This was hard to do, but Kal contemplated telling his mother about their plan, but he stopped himself. The next night as the guard on duty slept, he grabbed a spare ring key and he slid it to the witches. They were confused at first, but they got it. Their werewolf friend was going to turn anyway, but they could let themselves out before that happened. He remembered that their half demon friend was in a different part of the prison, so he went to get him.
In the lower dungeon, he found their friend. He had been badly beaten, but he was still alive. Kal knocked out the guard that was on duty, unchained him and dragged him up the stairs where the witches were. He gave the vampire a blanket that he could use for in the morning. As it got later into the night, he heard howling and he heard people screaming. Their friend had turned, and Kal knew that this was their time to leave. He told them about another way to get out of the prison, and as they went there, Kal left through the doors. He saw the werewolf, but he went to their ship and he untied it. He saw the prisoners making their way towards it, and he distracted his clan mates long enough for them to escape. The werewolf must have seen this and it ran after the prisoners. Kal knew that he had one chance to do this, so he chased after them and he managed to get onto the ship as well.
In the morning, when the werewolf was back to his senses, he asked his friends about what had happened. The witches explained and they introduced him to Kal, who decided to join their group. Najda and Laila were witches in training, Tristian was the Vampire who was hiding in he deck, Sterling was the werewolf, and the half-demon was named Njáll. They were actually really friendly towards him and they treated him like a friend. Kal liked that they were different and that they didn’t really care that he was a demon. As they sailed, he decided to talk with Njáll. He was a bit strange because he acted more human than demon, but he was really smart. He knew a lot about fishing and repairing thing on the ship, but what Kal was most amazed by was that he could swim. Kal didn’t know that Forest Demons could swim, and he was fascinated by this. He would throw things into the water on purpose just so he could see how Njáll did it. He eventually told him to stop. They became real good friends, and Kal liked knowing that he had someone who he could connect with.
The group went on to do various quests, and they even met a Dragon prince who happened to become one of their good friends. Kal was away for months, and soon he was enjoying being away from home. Sterling had to visit his parents, but before that, they had to stop at an inn. That night, Kal was hanging out outside when he saw something creeping through the woods. He confronted it and saw that it was about 10 members of his clan. They told him that he had to return home or else his friends would be killed. It was hard, but he didn’t want them to get hurt. He left with his clan members and went back to Greece.
He didn’t really enjoy his time back because he liked being out in the world. He also missed his friends and he worried about them out there. His mother wanted him to stay there, so she made him the leader of their clan. With this, he was approached by different clan leaders who offered their daughters in marriage. He told them that he would rather be alone then with someone that he didn’t really like.
He got word that a visitor was coming, and he was surprised to see that it was Lilah. She was a full fledge witch, and she needed his help with an important issue. A Necromancer was terrorizing the netherworld, but they needed demons to fight him off. He told her that he would help, but his mother told him that if he left, then he would be exiled from the clan. He took this chance and he joined Lailah in Italy where a portal to the netherworld was waiting. They went in and arrived in the netherworld. It was a rather interesting place and Kal kind of liked it. As he was there, he saw his old friends there too. It was weird how everyone grew up, but he was glad to see them all again. They spoke to each other for a while, but they had to get ready for the fight.
The Necromancer was very tough, but with the help of the reapers and the death gods, they managed to fight him off. The fight was so bad that many people lost their lives and many others were injured. With the help of all of the witches, the death gods froze the netherworld in time for 700 years so that just in case, the Necromancer would be trapped forever.
700 years passed and the spell was broken. The Necromancer had died and things were finally back to normal. Some of Kal’s friends wanted to go back to earth, but he decided to stay so that he could learn more about demon cultures. Njáll had nothing to do, and he didn’t want his friend to be lonely, so he decided to stay as well. As time passed and the two of them worked as army advisors, they eventually developed a relationship with one another. Kal was worried because he didn’t know if this was okay there, but after being informed that everyone could do what they wanted, he felt much better about how he was feeling. Kal and Njáll continue to work as army generals in the Netherworld, and they have been together ever since.
Appearance: From a certain standpoint, Kal looks like some sort of Orc or troll that is covered in fur. He’s got a very boyish face, which is why people question his age constantly. He favors his mother, but his eyebrows are not as thick as hers. Because he’s from a hot climate, his fur is shorter and his tail is not as broad. His naturally wavy hair is red, and he even has streaks of red that tint his fur. He has prominent tusks that poke out of his mouth which signifies that he’s an adult demon. His eyes are red as well with yellow sclera, and when looked at, they look really happy. When compared to Njáll, he’s bigger and more muscular, and his tail is longer. He’s usually seen wearing thick leather armor, but other than that he’s usually shirtless with pants on. On his right eye, he has the same tattoo as Njáll, but his is blue.This symbolizes that they are a couple.
Personality: Being the son of the clan leader, Kal is very stubborn and confident like his mother, but to a point. He thinks that you make allies by being friendly, so although he looks intimidating, he’s a very approachable person. He’s level headed and he’s a rational thinker, so instead of tackling a situation head on, he takes the time to plan what he’s going to do. He’s strong and brave at the same time, and he makes sure that his soldiers are taken care of first.
Favourite & Least Favourite things: Favorites: Some of his favorite things include pine trees, the smell of salt water, training his troops, hanging out with Njáll, and being in the netherworld with his friends. Least Favorites: His least Favorites include people who use power to their advantage, people who like harm others, bullies, and people who betray their friends.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Physical Strengths: Being a forest demon, he’s immune to things like lightning, poisons, and fire magic. He has enhanced strength, senses, speed, and combat skills. Strengths: He’s got a really positive attitude that people like to see. He’s also really good to his soldiers and he’s like their big brother. He can be strict at times, but he’s always thinking about their well being. Weaknesses: He constantly tries to prove that he’s the best. So he may fight himself until exhaustion, or until he straight up dies. He’s also kind of a worrier, and he may be too compassionate for a Forest Demon.
Additional notes: 7 Facts about Sava.
People ask him about his accent; he’s Greek. He was born in The western part of the country.
A common misconception is that because of his shaggy fur, he smells bad. He smells amazing because he lives in the woods and the fragrant trees of the netherworld have flowers that smell amazing. His fur picks up the flower smells.
He and his boyfriend, Njáll get along well because he knows how to act in front of demons, but not humans, and Njáll knows how to act around humans, but not demons.
A lot of people don’t believe that that’s his natural hair color, but he can prove that his mother, his great grandmother, and his great-great-grandmother have the same colored hair.
He’s kind of creeped out by a demon named Nazzaereno. He thinks that he’s just too “unnatural”.
He works as one of the netherworlds Generals.
He’s not a good swimmer. He just kind of splashes until he grabs onto something.
