Calder is a fire genasi and War Wizard 🐦‍🔥

His eyes hold a burning vengeance for his mother, a noble efreeti. Calder's father, a mighty mage who fell deeply in love with her, became her victim in order to create a powerful offspring for her army in the City of Brass.

Currently, Calder is travelling alongside Lillit, searching for lethal magic in order to finally overthrow his mother. (Calder is played by my partner!)

Hi I know baby Calder can’t hear Rex or Cyare, but I imagine in the middle of the night, maybe he’s fussy and can’t sleep and Rex is taking the night shift because he’s a good dad and he remembers what Cyare said about calming Calder down with the vibrations when they talk, so Rex is just holding his son to his chest, singing a lullaby and he knows Calder can’t hear but he’s trying and all he wants is for his son to be calm and feel safe

I'M WEEPING

Rex ABSOLUTELY does this for Calder.

He figures out pretty quick that his chest vibrates and rumbles when he talks (gotta love that deep voice) and Calder responds to those vibrations, so every chance he gets, he's holding Cal against his bare chest and rubbing his back, just talking or singing quietly to him to help him settle back down.

Rex loves his son more than life itself, and he does what he can to tell Calder he loves him in all the ways he can. It's like Gol'Chek said, there are other ways to tell people you love them.

Even as Calder ages, he still gravitates to his papa. He gets overwhelmed easily, and if he's feeling too overstimulated, he'll lay his head on Rex's chest and hide his face so the world goes dark and quiet. Rex will stroke his dark curls, and he'll talk softly to him and let Calder feel the rumble of his chest until he's calm enough to open his eyes again.

          Calder was the Master of Lake-town at the time of the Quest for Erebor in the Third Age. Like the Masters before him, he was elected from the elders of Esgaroth’s community, though the commonfolk of Lake-town had little say in his rise to power. Calder was a greedy man who loved food and wine and gold, but he was not utterly irresponsible, and before the arrival of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield to his town he was generally tolerated, if not well-liked.           Upon Thorin’s appearance, however, Calder began to show his weaknesses more openly. He expressed his doubt that Thorin was the rightful heir of Erebor, which for all his life had been under the dominion of Smaug, and questioned whether there had ever been a King Under the Mountain at all. But his people were overjoyed to hear the news of a dwarf-king come to slay the dragon, and he so Calder feigned belief in Thorin’s story and accommodated him and the dwarves (and Bilbo Baggins) for two weeks before they departed to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. When they left, he was relieved, for they were expensive guests and their sudden arrival had caused business to come to a standstill.           When Thorin’s quest went awry and Smaug attacked Lake-town, the people of Esgaroth turned to their Master for guidance. But Calder was cowardly, and thought more of saving himself than his subjects, and so fled in his guided boat and as much treasure as he could carry. Thus Bard the Bowman took control of the situation, ultimately slaying the dragon himself.           In the aftermath of Esgaroth’s destruction, the people of Lake-town turned their blame and ire to Master Calder for his selfishness and greed, calling him “Moneybags” and demanding that Bard become their King. Calder found enough wit in himself to deliver a charismatic speech shifting the blame to the dwarves, and though the fisher-woman Hilda Bianca saw through his conceits, his ploy was successful and the hearts of the people turned toward thoughts of revenge upon Thorin Oakenshield.           Calder let Bard and Hilda take command in his name, and remained on the lakeshore as they led the people to Erebor in alliance with Thranduil of Mirkwood to demand their share of Smaug’s treasure. Here Calder reasserted his control and began to direct the preparations for wintering on the shore and construction of a new town.           Meanwhile, Bard and Hilda Bianca led their people in the Battle of the Five Armies, where Bard proved his skill as a leader and Hilda showed her spear was good for stabbing more than just fish. In the aftermath of the Battle, the folk of ruined Lake-town were divided in their demands for a new, better leader, some advocating for Hilda as their Queen and others for Bard as King. In the end, Bard won out, and Hilda (some what bitterly) guided those who were dissatisfied with their new leader back to the shores of the Long Lake while Bard’s folk remained to rebuild Dale.           Hilda Bianca was determined not to let Master Calder off the hook for his cowardice, and as soon as she returned to the half-built lakeside settlement she seized as much control as she could. Still the people were divided, for Calder was Hilda’s elder and many were reluctant to let a woman rule. The struggle for power only grew over that long winter on the lakeshore, and when spring came and the newly crowned King Bard of Dale sent gold and supplies to the people of Esgaroth, their rivalry came to head.           Calder took all the gold for himself, leaving Hilda to distribute furs, food, and tools to the people, winning over many people who had been hesitant about her leadership before. When Calder only shared his newfound wealth with his closest friends and cronies, the people’s anger grew, and the Master became more and more obsessed with the treasure and the justified fear that it would be stolen. Hilda declared that this was a manifestation of the same dragonsickness that had been Thrór and Thorin’s undoing, and soon Calder was driven out of town and into the Wastes, where he was robbed and abandoned by his former followers and left to die of starvation.            With her rival eliminated, Hilda Bianca was elected the new Mistress of Lake-town by the greater portion of her people. Though she was ruthlessly ambitious and often drove hard bargains with the newly reestablished neighboring kingdoms of Dale and Erebor, she was much more popular than her predecessor, for she always took care of her people first and foremost, and her sharp will was always turned to the increasing the prosperity of Esgaroth.
