the bio; -

The only child of Balthazar Caito. Their mother passed during childbirth. Melchior was doted upon and loved unconditionally. They were not spoiled, but they had learned to expect a certain comfort in life.

At age 13, Melchior was shipped off to England - Balthazar told them it was so that they could go to boarding school to finish their education. It was for the good of the Savages.

They attended Eton, despite their rambunctious protests (which included running away quite a few times.) They harbored a bitter resentment to towards everything the Savages were - blaming them for taking the happy father they remembered from their childhood. They barely passed through most of school, spending more time in the principal’s office than class.

In college, they discovered they  had quite a head for business—at least the negotiation side of things. Their natural charm and intellect impressed most of their professors—even if their testing results lacked a reflection of this.

Earning their masters felt—for a fleeting moment—like a weight lifted off their shoulders. But then, their father drew them aside, congratulated them and welcomed them to the Savages. Balthazar had been so proud. Melchior had not been sure at the time, how to tell this near stranger that they never wanted this. Instead, they smiled at their father and pulled him into a hug. At the celebration for their graduation in Valdez, Melchior felt like an outsider at their own party - so many faces they knew as a child that were not recognizable any more came up to congratulate them on something they did not feel they’d earned.

Life took a tragic turn only a few nights later.

It was a hit and run. All they remember is the gunfire, catching some of the crossfire… then, waking up in a hospital bed. Balthazar Caito was dead. They blamed themselves. If only things had played out differently…

They stayed for the funeral. The day after, they left their step-father, Jason, a note: “Gone, but not far. Please don’t look for me. Will check in soon.”

That was the last time they had contact with their family. They took their money and a single bag and fled on the first international flight - no plan, no hesitance. They traveled for three months, wandering from country to country, living in hotel rooms, making friends everywhere they went. The shadow of their guilt followed them. Whenever people began to ask questions, they ran.

Eventually, their demons caught up with them. They returned to Valdez, to their childhood home to find the city torn apart by the snakes and the lions. They decided then that the best way to hide was in plain sight. Buying a house on the outskirts of town, they settled in to live with their demons.

They began hanging around Sharp Shooters, drowning their troubles in alcohol. They soon found employment there. Now they’ve taken up a managerial position at the bar under a false name. “Melchior Sauda”

They are unsure about how long this will last.

They are still consumed by guilt.
