Cailean Brahan
(a.k.a. Cal)
The grandfatherly cook on the Blue Mariner, Cailean is a gentle man who makes excellent custard and is never without Monster, his seeing-eye sandpiper. Known for regularly giving out sage advice and vague premonitions of the future, usually (and often confusingly) at the same time, he is a well-loved member of the crew and very few could imagine sailing without him (and his desserts).
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Cailean is completely blind. He can only see through the eyes of his pet sandpiper, Monster. He is on the heavier side but appears to be in good health.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Cailean was born and raised in Crecia where his grandparents settled after travelling the world. He grew up helping his mother at the bakery and learned many of his recipes from her and his grandmother.
Blind from birth, he'd found his own way around for the longest time until, one day as a teen, he happened across an injured sandpiper. He took it home and had his mother dress its wounds, then he took care of it until it was well enough to fly again. It had made such a frightening sound when he'd found it, that Cailean took to naming the little bird "Monster". The name stuck around, just like the bird itself did, and arrangements were made to have the two mentally linked so that Cailean could at last see the world around him.
Employment
Cailean started off as his mother's assistant at her bakery. He later went on to work at Bidwill's Kitchen and Market, where he spent most of his life cooking for sailors, locals, and anyone just passing through. Sierra Kidd recruited him to work as the cook on the Blue Mariner after the kitchen he'd worked at unceremoniously shut down.
