Capalis Marebun

Capalis Marebun, also known as Capalis of the Wild, is a main character of The Archaia Chronicles. He is the main hero of the saga, a gifted bowman searching for the answers to his past and future

Capalis wanders the realm of Visilion in hopes of finding his father who disappeared from his life 18 years ago. Wielding the enchanted heirloom bow that once belonged to him, he offers his hunting skills in exchange for money to fund his search for his father. However, as of recent, Capalis found himself in the midst of grand adventures serving the Kingdom of Album.

Background
Born on the outskirts of a seaside port village, Capalis had a less than desirable upbringing. His mother died when he was only 5 and he was often picked on by the village kids for his poverty. The constant torment from his peers fueled an aggression that often got him in trouble by the constables for fighting.

When Tomen, Capalis's father and a popular hunter of the village, saw his son's destructive habits for himself, he decided to intervene by teaching archery to him as a means for channeling his aggression. This led Capalis to develop a passion for the bow and arrow, and the art of hunting. In his adolescence, he would often accompany his father on hunting trips taking down game after game with an almost supernatural accuracy. Word quickly spread of an archer boy with an aim so right he could hit a fly, and soon Capalis found himself competing in petty archery competitions across the coast of Visilion.

By the age of 15, he had made a name for himself as the "Brownwood Boy," named so from the slick timber that made his bow. He at this point had also began to compete in professional archery competitions. Contest after contest, he brought home more spoils for him and his father, who had unfortunately (and mysteriously) began to become paranoid. The limelight had also strained their relationship, alongside other secrets Tomen was hiding from Capalis. This was the last memory of his father that he remembers.

Five days after he had turned 16, Capalis's father vanished without any trace. Not a single clue was left behind save for gibberish scribbles on the cottage walls. A distraught Capalis was left to piece together anything he leading to his father's whereabouts to save him. He left the village with his fathers bow and set out across the realm of Visilion to find him. Days of searching turned to weeks, and weeks to months, and then months to years. With little luck, Capalis had been relentlessly scouring the land for 18 years; 18 years for a man who seemingly phased out of existence.

Sometime in those 18 years, Capalis had become a mercenary hunter in exchange for money or more importantly, any information on his father. He had also renamed himself to Capalis of the Wild, as he adopted the lifestyle of a nomad, hopping place to place with no clear home. Just like in his youth, word spread around of a mercenary with a bow who would hunt for a bounty. To Capalis, it was hope that it would one day lead him to his lost father.
