History
Beginnings
- Born in a small house on the outskirts of Gridania, Caragai was named after the favorite character in a book his mother loved to read. The youngest of two boys, Caragai never knew his mother, and his older brother died in an ambush from the Ixali on their house. It was just him and his father, a man who was once a bowman in the Twin Adders, but turned to carpentry after Caragai was born.
- It would not be a lie to say Caragai had a typical childhood, moving to live in Gridania after his house burned down. At first, he worked with his father in the Carpenter's Guild, but he found it too boring. From then, he tried every other job he could think of, from waiter to manure mover, but each time, the job lasted a few months. It wasn't until his father spoke about his old days in the Serpents that Caragai felt his calling.
- Caragai took to the bow quickly, steadily improving his skills. He was too young to join the Serpents at the time, but he knew many a captain there had their eye on him when he came of age. And one man did by the name of Captain Levi Druthers. Druthers was a fair but strict hyur, drilling and pushing Caragai past many limits he thought he had. Caragai did not falter though, his own father giving him support, and the au ra found himself stationed on the border with Coerthas with Druthers.
- The two men created a strong bond quickly, knowing they needed to watch each other's backs, as the land was rocky, making any reinforcements they called have difficulty getting to them. Druthers was a man of the lance, and with Caragai's bow skills, the two watched over the land during the day, and each other at night.
- Then, one day, everything changed.
Loss
- The Ixali came in force, clawing their way over the rocks and showering arrows against the stone of the watchtower the two Serpents stayed in. Druthers shouted for Caragai to take up his bow, while the captain desperately barricaded the doorway. Caragai could hear Druthers screaming into his linkpearl for help, and the au ra knew it was up to him keep the birdmen away. Arrow after arrow was loosed from the slits in the stone, finding purchase in the flesh of the Ixali that appeared over the ridge.
- Slowly his quiver ran out, and the barricade began to falter. Druthers used his lance to impale any Ixali that showed through the wooden barricade, though the Ixali had weapons of their own. An arrow would occasionally find its mark and slip through a space in the barricade, and one pierced Druthers in the side. Caragai moved to rush to his captain's side, but the hyur ordered the au ra to stand his ground, firing on the birdmen to the last arrow.
- Tears stung his eyes, hearing the pain in Druthers' voice, but Caragai did as he was told. When the last arrow was spent, he grabbed a sword and stood by his captain, fighting back the Ixali while the minutes ticked by.
- It was nearly sunset when the first sounds of shouts reached the men in the watchtower. Reinforcements had come, but it was too late. Though the Ixali were pushed back, Druthers had lost too much blood; the barricade had held, but an Ixali spear pierced the hyur's chest. Caragai cradled the one man whom he had begun to fall for in his lap, not caring about anything else.
Wandering
- Caragai left the Twin Adders after that, staying with his father only so long as to gather a few things before leaving Gridania itself. He couldn't bear to stay there any longer, as the beautiful tree canopy felt like a suffocating cage.
- Once again, Caragai found himself taking many odd jobs to get food in his belly, and a few gil in his pockets. After a few years, he found himself in the employ of a Garlean-turned-Eorzean sympathizer.
