Caius emerges in the opening volume as a towering, black-leather-clad iudex whose mastery of blood magic marks him as both feared and indispensable. Across the series his role expands from solitary ritualist to a reluctant leader whose personal sacrifices anchor the group’s survival in the ruined cities beneath Mons Viridis Magicus. His commanding presence gradually softens into a mentor’s gravitas, yet the toll of constant blood-letting leaves him physically diminished and haunted by the very power he wields.

Description

A tall man who towers over his group, Caius is dressed in black leathers acquired from the Wolf people and carries a kukri knife used in blood magic. He stands with the lean, resilient build of an experienced adventurer and mage, able to perform taxing rituals that spill his own blood into ancient stone bowls before collapsing from the effort, only to recover through rest while still shivering from the aftereffects. In the fantasy setting of magical deep worlds and ruined cities, he carries the enigmatic, commanding presence befitting one addressed as iudex Mons Viridis Magicus or simply as sir.
