Cale is my signature character in the Forgotten Realms. The most popular character I've written. He's a thief, an assassin, and eventually, a priest who stabs his own god in the chest. Always trying to slip his past, but never succeeding. Dark dude. Brooding dude. Born killer. But honorable, still.

If I'm wearing jeans all day at work, it's [hard] to slip into a dress and make yourself feel like you were born in it.
