Caius Qualls (カイウス・クオールズ Kaiusu Kuooruzu?) is one of the protagonists in Tales of the Tempest.

History[]

As a boy, Caius lived with his foster father, Ramrus Qualls, in the small village of Feln, situated in a remote area of Areulla. Everything was peaceful until one day when a creature known as a Spot attacked, looking for Caius's crystal that had once belonged to a Black Knight. Hoping to protect the village, the young man attempts to fight off the Spots, but the monsters overpower him, eventually forcing Ramrus to change into a beast and protect his son. It is at this point that his foster father's identity as a Leymon is revealed to the villagers, who quickly called for Lukius Bridges and Rommy to take him away. Mourning over what he has lost, Caius vows revenge upon the Church and sets out to save Ramrus along with his childhood friend Rubia Natwick.

Caius has mixed blood, with his mother being the late Melissa Bridges of the Leymon race, and his father being the human Pope of the Church, Vincent Bridges. Because of this, his friends and even his foster father are unsure as to whether he will ever be able to transform into a beast. Forest Ledoyen especially seems to think it is impossible since he lacks the "Zanktu", a traditional mark of the Leymon that indicates their ability to transform into their beast forms.

During the story, after the protagonists jump into the river around the capital Janna to escape the Black Knights, Caius, Arria Ekberg, and Ramrus become separated from the others and end up on an unknown shore. There they encounter Rommy, who uses her magic to forcefully transform Ramrus into his Leymon form and make him attack Caius and Arria. Caius is then forced to battle his own father. After Caius defeats Ramrus, Rommy turns Ramrus into stone, thus ending his life. Caius, fueled by rage and the desire for revenge, transforms into his Leymon form. With very little control over it, he goes berserk and quickly defeats Rommy in a battle. Rommy, realizing that Caius is too powerful, retreats.

Appearance and Personality[]

Caius Status (TotT) 1
Caius Status (ToVS)

Caius has rock-colored eyes and copper-colored unruly hair, with a single lock colored white. In later artwork, his human form is shown to have four fangs, reflecting the wolf appearance in his Leymon form.

Caius primarily wears a red tank top, rock blue pants, a blue belt, black gloves, and red shoes resembling wolf's paws. He also wears a white scarf around his neck, a glass band on each bicep, a silver brace his right wrist, and a silver backhand gauntlet over his left hand.

As a boy his age, Caius has a bright and active personality and is a sensible person, but he also has a childish side, such as getting flustered from being teased by Rubia. He is also rather easy to spook, especially about ghosts, and really doesn't like being treated like a child.

Caius Status (TotT) 2

In his Leymon form, Cauis's face is morphs into that of a wolf. The pigment of Caius's scleras turn yellow as his ireses turn red. The hairs on his skin rapidly grow to the point of covering his flesh as his limbs grow twice their original size.

Fighting Style[]

Caius fights using a sword, a trend followed by most main protagonists. Due to his youth, his normal attacks consist of overarching swings only. Being half-Leymon, Caius possesses the ability to transform, converting his style into that of rapid swings in the form of Beast Blow.

In later installments, his transformation and Beast Blow would become his mystic arte.

They have no purpose in the story except in the beginning when they introduce themselves, but after that, they hardly do anything to progress the story.

After Goede is finally defeated, he and Rubia are back on the Van Eltia observing the mana spreading across the world.
