Born Sri Rambakhsh Namboodiripad in the southern tip of India, providentially on October 31, 1966. Trained in the old traditions as a priest of Siva (Shiva), the future Archdeacon of Samael had always felt drawn to the Dark Side. He became a master of meditative science while still a young child, and became quite well known for provoking his many gurus to violent rage. Legend has it that the young master was even forced to kill one of his teachers after the latter became enraged when S. Rambakhsh confronted him with a hidden secret revealed to him during a meditation. S. Rambakhsh soon became famous in his village for his "wild stare", a visage reputed to be able to both make women desire him madly, and enemies to lose their sanity. Many repeated incidents resulted in his being disowned and exiled, after which he traveled north to Kashmir where he ultimately and providentially met a wayfaring Pontifex Maximus Leonardo. Almost without any verbal communication, each man knew the other was vital to his fate, and after a series of rituals, Pontifex Maximus Leonardo consecrated and installed S. Rambakhsh as the Archdeacon of Samael, Patriarch of the Eastern Sun, First among Equals, Scourge of the Pious, et. al. It is Archdeacon Caligula who maintains the public face of the Circle, now run from the heart of the Beast: Manhattan, while Pontifex Maximus Leonardo spends most of his time traveling the world in the service of Satan. Any promising candidates for the Archdiaconate are handled first by Archdeacon Caligula, before being forwarded to Leonardo.
