… just don’t call him a brute to his face. He’s liable to cry.
Ya know that meme about baikal seals looking like they make the laminate plastic wobble sound constantly, like they’d dissolve into a puddle of tears if you breath on them? That’s Calthun, on the inside at least. He’s good at hiding his very soft core under a rather thin layer of stoicism and plate metal.
Calthun is the younger brother of the chief’s former right hand man and founding partner. He was slain in battle about five years ago, and now, at the age of 19, he’s trying to help fill his brothers boots to the best of his ability.
When it comes down to it, he can cqb brawl with the best of him, though he’s more likely to KO than to kill, which is something he’s yet to do.
