General Callum Reginald (Really) McKay (a.k.a. Boss)
Callum Mckay is a strange being, by all accounts he's been alive for over 150 years, but he's human. But he's the only human to traverse one of the great rifts twice which is a possible explanation for his long life.
The great rifts join the two worlds of Hamanshiron and Terra together. Those that are stable on Terra like the Bermuda Triangle have random exit points in Hamanshiron and the stable ends on Hamanshiron like Agan Falls have random exit points on Terra.
What is known of him before his return is that on Terra he was both a soldier and a healer. He chose not to continue his healing path on his return, instead he became a mercenary and has fought the length and breadth of Hamanshiron.

History
The history between McKay and Halhammer is one of many battles, boarding actions, raids and full on battles. Callum has been the victor in each and every encounter and while Halhammer's public Facade of respect and an attempt at keeping his own public face of the Light, both of them know Halhammer is a follower of the Dark, and he can't beat McKay. Halhammer hates that McKay can see through to the heart of his soul. Where as McKay just plain can't stand Halhammer and is visibly and honestly can't stand him. Since the Fronrostian Reavers are nominally servants of Neutrality and have diplomatic relations to the Council of the Light whom McKay as an officer of the Wayfinders nominally serves.
