[edit] Biography
[edit] Meeting Darth Bane
Though his power stemmed from the Force, it was not like that of the Jedi or Sith. His power came directly from the world around him, the natural power of the mountains and forests. He lived during the last days of the New Sith Wars, but refused to be a party to the wars, and sought Ambria as a refuge. He turned away both Jedi and Sith, seeing himself as a healer to the common people.
His rigid policy of neutrality was challenged when the exiled Sith Lord Darth Bane came to him, seeking a cure for the Synox with which his former lover Githany had poisoned him. Caleb refused to treat him at first, going so far as to thrust his hand into a cauldron of boiling liquid to demonstrate his immunity to pain. However, Bane sensed the nearby presence of his daughter. After Bane threatened to end her life, Caleb agreed to cure him. Sensing that Caleb would be a useful contact in the future, Bane allowed him to live.
[edit] Death
When Darth Zannah came looking for Caleb, he refused to heal the injured Darth Bane. Darovit made a deal with Caleb to heal Bane, as long as Zannah turned herself and Bane in to the Jedi, and deactivated their ship, the Loranda. At last Zannah complied; and after Caleb healed Bane and removed the orbalisks, he made sure Zannah sent out a message to the Jedi Order that there was a Sith Lord on Ambria, waiting to be arrested. Zannah, however, wished to save Bane and preserve the Order of the Sith Lords; therefore, she killed Caleb, and drove Darovit insane with her sorcery. Later, she hid Bane and herself in an underground hiding spot of Caleb's, cloaking their presences in the Force. The Jedi arrived and found Caleb's body chopped up outside of his shack. As they neared, Darovit attacked them and was killed almost instantly. The Jedi took all the pieces of Caleb's corpse back to Coruscant to give him a proper funeral.
