Began as one of Fort Weyr's stablehands of uknown origin, rumored to have arrived in early spring of turn 37 on dragonback, claiming to be 18 turns old.
One would assume the always-hooded, mischievious boy has skills. He must. But they are largely unknown to the public, some more guarded than others.
Bonded to a feline-like dusky, dark brown firelizard named "Chiv," though the creature's rarely seen or spoken of.
Searched for Elaruth x Bijedth's clutch of turn 37 by Lilah and Eliyaveith, but failed to Impress.
Retained the knot to stand for Eliyaveith x Liesanth's clutch and Impressed to bronze Zymadiath. Both were wounded at Impression in confrontation with a second bronze hatchling.

History
It started as simply as intervening ships enroute from Gar to Boll, and later from Ista to Fort. His father, wholly skilled at the sea and its crafts, had a steady hand in the seaborne raids. After the event of the Scudder, he had reached out to the land based raids, joining the renegades and meeting the woman who would become Kael's mother on the evening of being apprehended at a hand-off of supplies by Fort Weyr riders.
Kaelige was born not long after the exiles had made a make-shift home out of their Southern colony. Although a younger brother was born a few years following him, he shortly perished of an illness as an infant, and his mother became too frail to bear further children,. Kael, though perhaps lacking in general social skills, was raised with a non-harper but still strict discipline into the basics of reading and writing, and even heavier in the aspects of survival, hunting, and understanding of beasts and the sea. Fighting was a necessity, but he seemed weaker at direct confrontation. However, another renegade took him under his wing and the pursuit of spying and assassination was intensive and thorough. He could throw an average punch at best, but using subtlety to end a contest quickly, few could match him even at his young age. A prodigy perhaps, or maybe he just had something to prove.
Following his bonding to a dusky brown firelizard he called Chiv as part of a non-public agreement with his scheming father and having no law restricting his movements, he was sent back to the Fort area, puppet strings attached. Early in turn 37, he secured transport to Fort Weyr with Katriona and Yueth, though dismounted some distance away to avoid prying eyes and minds. He arrived to public attention as a vagabond- some sort of parentless trader-traveling looking for residency. With no talents offered to the lower cavern staff who asked in regards to placement but an affinity for being 'outside', he was given the position of stablehand.
Although kept well-shielded from the public eye since arriving at Fort, he continues to be molded by his master's 'acquaintance' - another well experienced in his particular area of expertise. Messages are passed via firelizard to those who hold his puppet strings, but never last long enough to be seen beyond his eye. He appears to the masses to be a hooded enigma with plenty of sarcastic wit to cover what isn't shadowed by his garb. And although he seemed more than reluctant to participate in anything of benefit to the Weyr, it' was notable that he was rather possessive of his rank of candidacy after being Searched by Lilah's Eliyaveith. During his candidacy, he had a hand in organizing and spying for the thefts from the stores meant for relief to the Hold post-landslide, which ultimately failed.
In late turn 37, he Stood for Elaruth and Bijedth's clutch, for which he failed to Impress and was witness to a young green hatchling going Between instead of choosing a lifemate. He retained his knot, Standing for Eliyaveith's first clutch by Liesanth and Impressed to Zymadiath. Another bronze hatchling had approached him first and fell, clawing a large gash in his chest. Zymadiath knocked the other away, who ended up Impressing to Y'tob, a boy Ka'ge had threatened but didn't take the life of, again risking his secrecy. Both boy and dragonet were wounded and fell behind in their weyrling class in the first couple of months.
Weyrlinghood was a struggle, as it is for most. For Ka'ge, it included an escalation of the complicating relationship between him and the now-goldriding Dee who had been the mastermind behind the stores-raids. His lackadaisical attitude and punishments, not the least of which included self-created lies of too-early intimacy with Dee to protect their secret of the stores thefts, became a focus of assistant weyrlingmaster Kh'tyr's whose specialty in troubled students was likely the only reason Ka'ge eventually graduated on time.
Zymadiath and Ka'ge never proved to excel in teamwork, being tapped into Flint by X'vin due to its large amount of free-time and less stress on bonding. While this free-time as meant to be used to visit holds- and surely, that's what Ka'ge did- it wasn't always for wing business for which he went. He went back to the exiles' island, taking his master and some of his closest followers from it, to transplant them all into a small Holding some ways southwest of Fort Weyr itself.
Soon after the rescue of his master, a plague burned its way across the Northern Continent, its focal point in the Fort area. With Dee fallen ill and, despite his vigilance, wanting nothing more to do with his advances, Ka'ge found himself to be immune to the plague by a dangerous Russian-roulette-type of trial and error. And with this continually-tested knowledge, used the plague as an opportunity. A valuable, crucial opportunity. As blooded family after blooded family fell, he watched for who would rise. It's unknown what direct touches he had in the heirs that then rose, or how much was his own choosing versus his master's whims, but it's almost certain that some foul play arose. When the terrible death tolls ended, he slowly returned to a more constant presence at Fort Weyr, with intermittent, publicly known but less frequent visits to Ruatha Hold in conference with an heir that didn't win over Baliol for lordship.
N'rov rose to Weyrleader in this time, his bronze catching Southern-transplanted Mirinda's Zaisavyth, a flight Zymadiath had lost. Following such grand losses of riders and weyrfolk alike, wings began changing. Eventually, the Weyrleader approached him to tap him into a new wing- Onyx. Change continues on.
Crudely Crafted and Concealed Brown Chiv
A boney little brown firelizard, seemingly lacking in muscular features and certainly no fat to speak of, is inconspicuous in presence though perhaps of generally normal length for his color. Sharpness defines him at every angle, like a tiny knife with wings. From fanged narrow muzzle to curved, hooked back-ridges to dark-silver pointed talons oversized for his dusky paws, the brown is a creature that looks less than inviting to the touch. Heavy dull browns coat him, dusty and dim, powdered darker at the lengths of raptor-long wings and whip-thin tail as if he'd been rolled in a mixture of soot and soil.
