The Backstory
History: Caleb Logan Grant, born the seventh of February in the year nineteen seventy three to Drew and Elizabeth Grant of Montauban Aquaria. It is a small town, three hundred and twelve people to be exact at the time of his birth, having swelled to this date to a staggering three hundred and forty-eight. Needless to say it was a small town, no doctor within a hundred miles actually. Caleb was born at home in the dead of the Aquaria winter, six feet of snow and old fashion wood burning heat to keep them warm.
His father a simple but good man. He hunted for the local sot raise money and feed his family. His mother, well she wasn't the farmer type, she was a Caprica of all types that had fallen for a good ol Aquarian boy when he was on Caprica, the only time he ever left Aquaria in fact. So his mother worked from home taking care of the kids and doing accounting work fro a few off world companies that had small establishments on the planet.
Caleb as a young boy was not very adventurous as most kids on Aquaria were. He stuck around home focused on his studies and lived a simple life. There never was much else to do in a town of less then four hundred. He enjoyed the rain during the few months that weren't snowy where he was from. he hear little of the other colonies and met even fewer people form them.
When he was twelve though things changed. The colonial war games were going in full strength and they had sent a group of people to Heim, the capital of Aquaria. It happened to be the same weekend that Caleb and his father were there on business. A full collective of raptors were there to do a recruiting drive and Caleb couldn't help himself. He had to go see for himself. The Raptors were filled with people from all the other colonies and had to know more about them. He snuck off while is dad was trying to sell the extra meat he had gathered.
It was four hours later that his father finally tracked down where he had gone and it was already to late. Caleb had decided he wanted to join the Colonial Navy. He was still way to young and his parents protested the idea but every year he became more and more determined and the day he turned eighteen, before he even finished high school, he had signed the paper work to leave for the academy a week after he graduated.
He was sent off to Aerilon for the Academy, not the most prestiges of places but it was not to shabby for a back water boy from Aquaria. The only personal belonging that he brought with him to the academy, (and one of his only actual possession) was his Guitar. It would follow in to when he was sent off to Scorpia for flight school. It was on Scorpia that he would fall in love with the big cities, everything about them excited him. The crowds of people the look the feel down to the grimy streets it all seemed so right to him after having spent his life in such a small town.
When flight school was over in 1997 Caleb was sent of to the Battlestar Night Fight as an Ensign were he served his first tour as a raptor pilot. He would stay there till 2001 making the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. He finally transferred off to the Hyperion where he was promoted upon arrival to Lieutenant. From 2001 on he has served there.
Anything Else?: Caleb is known for playing his Guitar all the time and even entertaining in the mess hall on his off hours from time to time to test out new songs he has written. He is in no way shy to express himself or talk to complete strangers.
