History: Caidan was born of da’covale parents – his mother a hairdresser, his father a stable hand – in Shon Kifar.  As a child he grew up helping his father in the stables.  As a result, he is good at handling horses and riding.

He felt life in Shon Kifar was not for him, but knew that as property, he had no choice in his profession or daily life.  He did what he told and served the Empress, may she live forever, in that way.  He found working with horses to be dull and boring, but always became excited when troops came through.  He liked seeing the men and women in their bug-like armor and would often watch them as they were marching when he was allowed to.

He wanted to join the military and fight for the glory of the Empress, may she live forever, but he was rather small for his age and he couldn’t see himself becoming a successful soldier.  In a face to face confrontation, he was likely to lose.

His owners began to notice something about him though.  He would often, by mistake usually, sneak up on others.  As someone who was small and didn’t attract a lot of attention, he had a strange ability to blend in with his surroundings.  His owners saw a way to use this to their advantage.  Having no regard for his personal well being, and seeing an opportunity to one-up their rivals, his owners enlisted him in the military.  Being in the military would give him more freedom to move around and collect information on family rivals and to report that information to his owners.  As an obedient da’covale, he did as instructed – no questions asked.

In military training, he learned the basics of combat, but did not fare so well with larger weapons.  He excelled more with smaller blades, both thrown and held.  He never did well in practice sessions.  He was just not physically strong enough to fight his opponents in training.  In head to head combat he had a serious disadvantage, but he tried.

As a result, his officers put him into scout training.  He learned how to hide in plain sight and gather information.  He learned to move silently across several different types of terrain.  This made him even better at accomplishing his mission for his owners.

He focused more on his mission.  He used his free time, little as he had, to gather information for his owners and send it back to them.  Things were going well until one day he got caught.

The person who saw him didn’t approach him or say anything, but took note of the young Caidan.  Had he himself not been trained in stealth, he wouldn’t have noticed the short da’covale sneaking around and listening in where he shouldn’t have been.  The stranger allowed the young man to notice him and the young man was surprised.  He tried to shake off the stranger, but the stranger fooled him again, by using his own skills to hide.  Caidan thought he had lost the stranger and headed home.  The stranger smiled and followed Caidan home.  He approached the owners and spoke with them, allowing Caidan to see him approach.  The boys look of surprise brought another smile to the Seeker’s face.  Telling him of Caidan’s skill and then brought up his true purpose.

Caidan would be taken to Seandar to serve the Empress, may she live forever, in a different way.  He would become a Seeker of the Truth and use his skills to serve the Empire.  Given no choice, Caidan’s owners released Caidan to the Seeker.  Caidan left with the man to begin his training in Seandar.
