Biography
History
Callum was still only an infant when his mother, Sarah, and uncle, Declan, died protecting him during a battle in a cave at La Rinconada, Peru. Callum's left leg was broken by the time his father found him.
Call was since raised by his father, Alastair, in North Carolina. Call grew up angry and stubborn, notorious in their town as a cranky, troublesome, and annoying boy who sent people running with his sarcastic remarks.
Call's left leg, despite surgeries and physical therapy done to attempt to correct it, was left broken and Call walking with a sliding limp. The leg hurt often, more so as he grew, and he hated it when people comment on his limp. Call liked skateboarding, and is often seen lurking around the comic book store, the arcade, and the video game store.
Exempted from gym class and discouraged by school officials from any form of strenuous physical activity, Call yearned to play and was filled with restless energy. Aside from that, Call was often bullied because of his condition, though he always managed to turn them away.
Once though, Call unwittingly provoked a group of kids into beating him up. It was at that moment when Call caused a small earthquake in the playground of their school. It was only through this incident that Call's inclination towards magic was first made known to him. While Call was pleased when he found out, Alastair explained to him that magic was dangerous, that while his family was one of mages, it was a battle between magicians that killed his mother, Sarah. Alastair had since then conditioned Call's mind to fear magic and suppress it so he wouldn't be taken to the Magisterium.
The Iron Trial
When he was twelve, Call was set to undergo the Iron Trial. His father had prepared him to fail the test, scaring him more and more about the prospect of being a magician. Upon their arrival at the venue, a closed airfield in Virginia, Call saw several mages as well as other fellow new outbreaks.
Accepted into the Magisterium, Call eventually becomes friends with Tamara Rajavi and Aaron Stewart, who becomes his best friend.[1]
Physical description
Call has messy black hair and gray eyes, often sporting a scowl on his face. Although his height is average for a twelve-year-old, his left leg is shorter than the other.

Trivia
- Call owns a pet wolf named Havoc.
- Call once took a naked mole rat during the May Day Parade from the local pet store, not wanting it to be fed to a boa constrictor. To further aggravate his actions, Call also freed all the mice that was meant to be fed to the snake. The released mice disrupted the parade, and the mayor has since been keeping an eye on Call. Call was also forced to return the mole rat.
