Health Problems: Caleb has glaucoma which has affected his sight to the point he has to wear glasses in order to see normally. He also has dabbled in drugs and sometimes is seen drinking alcoholic beverages.
† Personality †
Basic Personality:
Caleb's a very temperamental person, he tends to think before he acts which has led him to suffer a few injuries from fellow humans he's fought with. Despite his family's wealth, Caleb has a very broad mind when it comes to other people and even vampires and werewolves. That being said, Caleb is perhaps too trusting with people which has come back to bite him in the butt at a later point in time.
Caleb will throw out a quip or make a joke, which has earned him quite a bit of ire from his allies. However, despite this, Caleb weighs things heavily on his mind, he sometimes refuses to openly talk about what is troubling him which leads to him being exceedingly fatigued and irritable with people.
The young man feels that discrimination from any side is wrong as was his general irritation with the United States, his home country. Traveling to the United Kingdom has done little to stem his ire with racism and bigotry; however, he prefers to maintain equality with all species as he has humans, vampires, and werewolves as friends.
More comically, Caleb is perhaps a shameless flirt with members of the opposite sex. Sometimes saying things that would earn him a slap, but yet he doesn't give up on the search for the right person in his life.
Caleb though is a bit laid back until someone angers him, in which case he will fight the offender until he either cannot fight any longer or the offender rectifies their mistake, provided they're male as he detests the notion of even raising his hand to a woman.

†Rubik's cube
†Chess
†Reading books that make him think critically
†Music [except for country]
†Good natured people
Hates:
†Bigotry and Racism
†The Izan Mafia [though he dares not to cross them]
†The oppressive government [ties to his American upbringing]
†The usage of guns [though he has used one before, generally prefers knives and blades]
†Country Music and the Beatles song "I want to hold your hand"
Talents:
†Caleb is pretty observant when he chooses to be. He'll generally notice things overlooked by the police or he'll happen to read someone just the right way.
†Caleb is fluent in Spanish due to taking classes while in school
†Caleb is relatively adept in Jujitsu using it to defend against people who attack him, though it's relatively useless against a werewolf or a vampire.
† Caleb, while skilled with a gun, is more likely to fight with blades or a baseball bat. In a knife fight, Caleb uses the knife[ives] as an extension of his body in an effort to end fights quickly.
†Caleb is overall a good person despite his comfort with fighting and potentially killing someone. Caleb rarely breaks his word to someone and is fiercely loyal to whomever he's befriended be they werewolf, vampire, or human.
Habits:
†Caleb has a rather bad habit of biting his fingernails in boredom
†If the mood strikes him, you may sometimes see him with a cigarette or cigar in his mouth while listening to a potential case.
†Caleb is without a doubt extremely stubborn. If his mind is set on something, you can guarantee that he'll succeed or die trying.

† History †
History: Growing up in the United States, Caleb was raised primarily by a military father who served as colonel in the United States Marine Corps. Throughout school, Caleb was enthralled primarily by history and historical events such as the American Revolution, the Texas Revolution, all the way up to World War II. Relatively a slacker through school, Caleb managed a 3.00 GPA throughout highschool and even earned a full scholarship to Westpoint in Virginia.
While there, Caleb had made plans to join the Marines to protect and serve his country. While maintaining his GPA, he was able to even keep up with the rigorous training that his drill instructors put him through; however, he was eventually expelled for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He had been invited to a party; however, what nobody attending realized was that there was an anonymous tip that illegal substances were involved as such a raid was conducted, and true to the word, there was an involvement of illegal substances.
While Caleb himself had not taken part in it, simply being there had placed him in a rather compromising situation to which he accepted the punishment claiming, "If I don't hold myself accountable for my being there, how can I expect anyone to hold themselves accountable." Upon returning home, he learned of his father's passing from a shootout, which saddened him considerably. The inheritance he was given helped set him for life, and while he could effectively buy any lavish estate that he wanted, he stayed in his humble home preferring to keep himself close to his roots.
At the age of twenty, he felt an odd calling to travel to London, as a result, he traveled to the United Kingdom and began observing the radically different world than what he had read about or heard from travelers. He observed the incredibly anti-humanity feel the government exhibited.
Currently unemployed, Caleb simply is traveling as a means of understanding the world better aside from what he grew up with in America.

† RP example †
Rain spat at him as he trudged through the city. Anti-human sentiment made him think back to the history books of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany and how he managed to convince the German people to commit an atrocity such as the Holocaust. Granted, there wasn't much of a comparison to then as vampires and werewolves attacking humans was somehow deemed as part of nature.
He chuckled lightly at the placement of this supernatural pecking order. In Bram Stoker's tale Dracula, the good Count sought out Carfax Abbey as a base of sorts to plan conquest of the British Isles. It was either ironic or coincidence that this was the same way here. He breathed in as he walked to his apartment, a tiring day of just people watching and plus the rain to boot made things rather exhausting for the poor guy.
He tossed off his coat allowing it to dry on the coat rack as he then turned his focus to a bowl of ramen noodles sitting in the refrigerator. He pulled it out and began devouring the otherwise unhealthy meal and sat thinking aloud, "What the heck to do for employment in this country...." He sighed, "I can't work as a cop really. Do I practice loyalty to this new government? Do I merely stand aside letting them do what they want."
He ate in silence brooding over thoughts of restoring the government. But...then there was a problem, how could he do this? Form a resistance? Fat chance it'd work really, especially with the government visibly putting for efforts to stop dissent. He suddenly felt a loss of appetite as he put the noodles back into the fridge and walked to his room. The bed seemed to call to him as he fell against the mattress causing his body to bounce a bit on the bed. The darkness of sleep began singing a lullaby causing the young man to close his eyes and begin dreaming peacefully.
