Description
Tall, that is one of the first things that a person notices about this man. At 6'2", he's certainly taller than the average person. Tall and rotund. While his hair is cut somewhat short, it is slightly mussed up, though wavy in the middle. Adorned underneath his nose is a rather trimmed and neat mustache, keeping his upper nice and warm year 'round.
He keeps himself dressed in a suit, alternating between wearing a tie and a bowtie. His shoes are often a dull black, rarely shiny. Overall, his clothing gives of a simple air about them. He dresses to be somewhat professional, but he doesn't overthink it. Though at times, it appears as if he just threw together whatever seemed convenient and within reach.
Wand
Maple, 12.25", supple, unicorn tail hair core
Pet
Kaleb has himself a pet Canadian Goose. Named Maple. Who likes to honk at him, and others, to either announce his presence or to offer his opinion on something.
Background
As a child, Kaleb’s time was constantly shifted between both parents. He spent equal amounts of time with each. Until his father’s accident, that is. It was shortly after Kaleb’s ninth birthday, and he was spending time with his father in the home potion lab. His father accidentally mixed two ingredients that should never be mixed together. It resulted in an explosion. Despite Kaleb and his mother’s best efforts, they could do nothing to help him. That day, Kaleb watched his father die.
The years following his father’s death were difficult. He spent much of his time practically attached to his mother’s hip. He helped her with caring for magical creatures. He listened intently as she explained about the creatures. It wasn’t until he started at the Borealis School of Magical Learning that he really began to come into his own and start to accept the death of his father.
Kaleb worked hard, finding his niche in knowledge and caring of magical creatures and beings. Of course, having the surname of someone who created rules surrounding transfiguration brought him some grief. He endeavored, as well, to gain good knowledge of transfiguration. That way, he was always a step ahead of those who wished to make fun of him for it.
His years following graduation from school he spent travelling the world, studying magical creatures and beings, even learning some of their languages. And he studied, as well, under his mother to better learn how to care for those that get injured. Now, he travels the world, continuing his research and studies.
