About

Callum Knight (née Callum Garcia-Knight) is the son of Neela Garcia and Tony Marino-Knight, born in Casa di Cavalieri in September 2012 alongside his siblings, Luca, Grynn, Isla and Cara. He became a member of New Dawn at the rank of Epsilon: Warrior and mate to Veyra Damaichu in June 2014. They had their first litter in August 2014, comprised of four boys, Marius, Harlequin, Munroe, and Eros. After New Dawn's disbandment at the hands of Anathema in August 2015, Callum, Veyra, Marius, and Munroe moved back to Casa di Cavalieri and had a second litter, comprised of Aldora Knight and Rohan Damaichu. In April 2018, Veyra died as part of the Flower Plot, by flinging herself from the cliffs southwest of Casa di Cavalieri. Callum has battled with grief and guilt since, compounded by the death of his brother in August 2020.

OOC Assumptions

• Working with/riding/caring for Milité
• Hunting
• Encounters along the borders
• Beginning to slow down due to arthritis

Appearance

Expression

• Speech: Though he has never been to Scotland, Jazper and Tony's brogue stuck with Callum -- he emulated their speech even when he was young and now speaks with a passable Scottish accent that thickens when he is upset or angry. Direct immigrants from Scotland could probably detect a difference between their own speech and his. Voice model: Graham McTavish as Dwalin, from The Hobbit movies (or Dougal MacKenzie from Outlander)
• Scent: Casa di Cavalieri, Knight family, pine sap, horse. Generally fastidious.
• Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Shoves his hand through his mane when stressed or thinking. Sometimes paces.
• General Posture and Body Language: Callum is aware of his height and breadth and his body language, generally confident, shows it. He can be physically imposing if he wishes to make himself so, but has also learned when and how to make himself smaller to soothe a smaller creature's nerves.

Physical Appearance

Basics

Callum mostly resembles a wolf, but his muzzle is slender, favoring his mother's collie and setter ancestry. Someone skilled at detecting the differences in species could probably detect his dog ancestry. Cal's fur is normal for a wolf, but with a very small amount of feathering at his elbows and rump in Lupus form. Cal usually wears his hair cut and styled into messy spikes, usually not aided by any type of fixative. Cut tends to be sloppy as he usually does this himself. Cal is big, in all three forms, and carries himself confidently. He's fairly heavily scarred across his chest, under his ribs on both sides, and across his face.

Lupus

160 lbs (73 kg)
41 in (104 cm) tall
66 in (168 cm) long
Callum's least used form, as he prefers either the bulk of his Secui or the use of hands in Optime. Used primarily for travel. Roughly the size of a Great Dane, but thicker through.

Secui

250 lbs (113 kg)
48 in (122 cm) tall
75 in (191 cm) long
Looks a bit like a mini-polar bear in Secui. Fur stands stiffly on top of his head. Used frequently for fighting and sparring, and when hunting if he does not have to chase the prey.

Optime

280 lbs (128 kg)
7ft 6in (90 in) (229 cm)
Callum's favorite form for its versatility. Mane usually cut and styled into messy spikes, usually not aided by any type of fixative. Cut tends to be sloppy as Cal usually does this himself.

Biases

Motivations

• Upholding justice
• Family
• Pack
• Inability to protect his family or pack

Spirituality

Knight Family Worship
The Knights worship Fenris, the sun god. Callum is not exactly devout, but it's not unheard for him to curse using Fenris' name, and also to invoke Fenris' protection in times of need.
