Name: Caleb
Amber Parent: Dalt
Normal Parent: unclear
Shadow of Birth: Earth
Childhood: Raised by a pair of single women rooming together to save money. They were living in California at the time, and later packed up the child and moved to South Africa, just for the climate. Caleb spent most of his childhood there.
Adulthood: Some time during his late teens, he became involved with both a group of mercenaries and a sorceress girlfriend. She took him to the Broken Pattern, and taught him quite a bit before a rival band of mercenaries discovered her and killed her. Caleb took over his group and killed the rivals, then left his home Shadow to travel to a nearby one, where he has been since.

birthday; apparently walked the Pattern at that time. She then returned to her
home Shadow for a time. Now somewhere in the environs of Amber, possibly with
portions of the army.
Name: Corbett
Amber Parent: Eric
Normal Parent: Nicolle
Shadow of Birth: K'tu
Childhood: The Shadow is a harsh place, mostly desert. Children have little childhood freedom before being expected to show responsibility among the nomad tribe Corbett and his mother belonged to. Just after his tenth birthday, Nicolle died.
Adulthood: Corbett quit his tribe as soon as he was considered adult in the few existing cities. He joined up with a set of renegades who made him walk the Broken Pattern as an initiation ritual. He spent the following years learning all he could before leaving to become a lone rider, which he still is. His horse, Obsidian, is a Hellmare stallion he helped raise after the colt's mother died giving birth; the father, an unnamed stallion everyone called wild, stayed around until Obsidian was fully adult and trained to ride, at about age eight.
