Born in a fishing village on Zanzibar's coast, Kaelo is a hybrid Good Luck Cat, part sleek Siamese and part sand cat, with a rare tolerance for both saltwater and desert heat. He works as a marine radio operator, translating garbled transmissions between passing ships, a skill mirrored by his supernatural gift for decoding faint signals from Neterios through his guarded Astral Bridge. Quiet and methodical, he is trusted by Femi and Babu to relay warnings whenever Salugi's influence stirs along the trade routes.
