Name:

Caliathmo Culaari

Full name:

Caliathmo 'len Curwe Thelantaril Riltiiwen ata' Aldaril Talicar Vallanya Cal' Culaari

Alias:

Haeliata (when corresponding with members of the Beautiful)

Birthplace:

Mathiisen, Auridon, Summerset

Date of Birth:

16th of Frostfall, 4E 141

Affiliations:

The Beautiful (an anti-thalmor resistance group). The Thalmor (undercover in its intelligence branch as an agent) Clan Culaari (a once prosperous noble clan from Auridon)

Background:

Caliathmo's father, Aldaril, was a battlemage in the Imperial Legion when Summerset was still a province of the Empire. After fighting in the Oblivion Crisis - wherein he was stationed in Ald'ruhn in Morrowind - Aldaril chose to retire and lead a quiet life as a fisherman in the coastal town of Mathiisen. This is where Aldaril would meet Caliathmo's mother, Curwe, and where Caliathmo and his younger brother, Tilaandil, would be born and raised. Curwe was a member clan Culaari, a family that once had strong ties to Summerset's navy. Following the thalmor's rise to power, the Culaari clan was destroyed and had it's lands seized due to it's loyalty to both the Empire and Summerset's royal family. Curwe was a young woman when this happened and was forced to go into hiding. With most of her family either murdered, imprisoned or scattered, she had little choice but to live a humble life of a commoner. Curwe had a passion for designing clothes and was therefore able to use her skills to find work as a semestress. Both Aldaril and Curwe would go on to join the Beautiful, a group dedicated to overthrowing the Thalmor. They would try to keep their sons out of it for their own safety, but that proved difficult as Caliathmo and Tilaandil grew older and started asking questions. Caliathmo grew up captivated by tales of his father's time in the Legion, which brought him all across Tamriel during his 60 years of service. He was told tales of the various cultures and philosophies Aldaril had encountered. This gave Caliathmo a deep interest in the world outside of Summerset and instilled in him a sceptisim towards the rigid worldview of the Thalmor and their propaganda. At the age of 16, Caliathmo would find out about his parents involvement in the Beautiful. At age 18, he would - to the dismay of both his parents - go on to enrol at the Thalmor academy. Not out of a genuine belief in what they stood for, but with aims of undermining them from the inside. The Beautiful were always in need of extra eyes and ears that could be trusted to relay information back to them concerning the inner workings of the Thalmor. Caliathmo was sick of talking about the past and a hypothetical future, he wanted to take action. He was unaware, however, just how much this decision would cost him and those around him. During his time at the academy, Caliathmo would meet Quenanya, his future wife - who he would introduce to the Beautiful - although they wouldn't actually get into a relationship until after the Great War, a decade later. A war in which he served, gathering intelligence for the Dominion whilst at the same time passing on vital information to the Beautiful. His participation in the great war (and the war between the Dominion and Hammerfel that occured afterwards) left him with both physical and mental scars. He also felt deeply conflicted at having to fight against the Empire, an Empire his father used to speak highly of and spent much of his life defending.

The Beautiful

   The Beautiful are a group of anti-Thalmor rebels, who originated in a salon in Alinor by the same name.

   Initially, they were a group of philosophers and scholars who took umbrage with Summerset’s cultural stagnation and its xenophobia, they wished for a more modern and egalitarian society – at least by Altmeri standards at the time.

   Its members have had many conflicting ideas on how best to bring about this change, some more violent than others. Notably they were responsible for the destruction of The Crystal Tower and the assassination of the king of Shimmerine’s daughter during the end of the 3rd era.

   The group have changed significantly in the approx. 200 years since its founding, having absorbed many other groups with similar grievances into their ranks – most notably, the Welkynar, a group of gryphon riding knights that were disbanded by the Thalmor after they rose to power in 4E 22. Due to the inclusion of the Welkynar, it isn’t uncommon for the members of the Beautiful to take on names derived from famous gryphons from history as aliases. The leader of the Beautiful is only known by the name Cel-hinwe, a name derived from the first gryphon to ever be tamed by the Altmer.   

   In modern times, the Beautiful has become more organised and solidified in their goal, and for the first time in its history, has begun to look beyond the borders of Summerset for allies. This has proven difficult as most don’t even know they exist, or if they do, they dismiss them as nothing but a group of disaffected nobility playing at rebellion.

Characters:

Quenanya Adallaireon (Nagravia):

Lived the first 13 years of her life in Cheydinhal with her parents, her father was a Cyrodiilic-born Altmer and an adventurer and her mother was an artist from a noble Summerset family. After her father's death, her mother took her to live with her family in Auridon. The Adallaireon's were a politically powerful clan on the isles, with her grandfather being a member of the Thalmor council, a fact that Quenanya would later use to her advantage when working for the Beautiful and undercover as a Justiciar. Is married to Caliathmo, much to the displeasure of her family due to his seemingly commoner background.

Caliathmo Culaari (Haeliata):

Caliathmo's father was a battlemage in the Imperial Legion when Summerset was still part of the Empire. He now lives a quiet life as a fisherman in a small village on Auridon, where Caliathmo and his younger brother, Tilaandil, were born. Their mother came from Clan Culaari, a family whose lands were seized, and the clan destroyed following the Thalmor's rise to power due to their loyalty to the Empire. Both of Caliathmo's parents were members of The Beautiful, a fact that strongly influenced his own involvement. Caliathmo eventually works undercover for The Beautiful while posing as a Thalmor agent.

Tilaandil Culaari (Sunnawel):

Caliathmo's younger brother. Tilaandil wouldn't get involved with the Beautiful until later in life - when he got drafted into the Great War as a soldier - where he would use his connections in the thieves guild to aid the resistance. Is in a relationship with Orthorn.

Orthorn (Quillmane):

Orthorn came from a working class family. His parents worked for a noble family who would sponsor Orthorn's education, a fact that would allow him to become a professor of Archaeology - with a focus on the Ayleids. He uses his knowledge to aid the Beautiful in stopping the Thalmor from getting their hands on powerful Ayleid artefacts.

Mirithiel (Silaeda):

Mirithiel never knew her birth parents, all she knows is that one of them was an Altmer and the other a Bosmer. She was raised in Valenwood's capital, Grahtwood. She is a talented healer and alchemist, she was recruited to the Beautiful by Cel-Hinwe themselves after she, not knowing who they were, helped them evade capture by the Thalmor.
