Caelphrin (Chalkaverse-1)



"Uh, vines hate me."

- Caelphrin to Venthur, Spotlight: Venthur

Caelphrin is a male Aquavian treasure hunter, known for talking funny yet still having great deductive skills.

Early Life
Like other Aquavians, Caelphrin was created by Mata Nui after the launch of the Great Spirit Robot. His species was created to inhabit Zakaz, where they would maintain the purity of the surrounding waters. Caelphrin dutifully worked to this task in the waters surrounding the island.

Like the rest of the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe, Caelphrin would come to be affected by Velika’s Awakening, gaining true sapience. Like many of his other Aquavians, however, he was content to remain treating the waters, even after being secretly outfitted with a Protosteel tri-talon by the Order of Mata Nui and after the Skakdi were modified and abandoned their duty on the island proper.

Treasure Hunting
"This was pretty nice, pal. I’ll visit when I can. I try not to adventure too much these days, the wife hates when I’m gone. But see you soon."

While working in the waters one day as he always did, Caelphrin met a Varim beneath the waters. The Varim explained that she was hunting for treasure said to be buried nearby, using a Kanohi Kaukau to breathe underwater long enough to find it. Caelphrin accompanied her, curious. The Varim found her treasure quickly, Caelphrin becoming transfixed as she pulled out a golden statuette of a Pakari-wearing Matoran. Caelphrin thanked the Varim for the experience and bid her goodbye, rushing home to his wife.

Though his wife agreed to it reluctantly, Caelphrin bought a surface breathing apparatus and set out above the waves to begin a treasure hunting life, becoming more and more taken by the adventure.
