Caleb Davion

Caleb Hasek-Sandoval-Davion (born 3100- died 31??) is the son of Harrison Davion and the current reigning First Prince of the Federated Suns. Caleb developed early on in his life paranoid schizophrenia, causing him to hallucinate a best friend Mason Lambert, who acts as an impulse for all of Caleb's base instincts, including the act of killing his father in order to maintain his position as heir of the Federated Suns. His schizophrenia also left him unable to pilot a BattleMech, so instead he took up an Armor Command to meet the First Prince military requirements.

Relationships

Caleb Hasek-Sandoval-Davion has no set-up royalty matches, but has engaged in a relationship of alliance to Khan Sterling McKenna of the Raven Alliance, much like his father before, although it seems like in the case of Harrison that the emotion is one-sided, and McKenna is using the relationship to stay close to the First Prince, and thus bind herself and her nation in an alliance to the Federated Suns. Caleb also has an obsession focused on Danai Liao-Centrella, which culminated in their last meeting on New Hessen of him raping her, after she had rescued them from a chaotic three-way battle between Davion, Liao, and Republic forces. Danai in private has promised to kill the First Prince the next time they run into each other, but Caleb, having interpreted Danai as willing during the rape due to his sickness, looks forward to meeting again.

Ascension to First Prince

Caleb ascended to the title of First Prince on Terra during the Republic's attempts at using the state funeral of Victor Steiner-Davion as a grand diplomatic summit, while simultaneously fighting off Senate Separatist forces. On the night of victory over the Senate forces in the Battle of Paris by a combined Republic/Davion force, Caleb was confronted by his father while brooding, and realizing the stardom that his cousin, Julian Davion, had as compared to him. Harrison Davion revealed to Caleb his plans of making Julian his heir, and alluded to Caleb's mental instability, before Caleb succumbed to raging against his father to Mason, right in front of his father. When the First Prince went to grab Caleb, Caleb pushed his father away, and over the banister of their third-story chateau, whereupon Harrison Davion cracked his skull in the fall and fell into a coma immediately. Upon his father's incapacitation and eventual death, Caleb assumed the Title of First Prince, stripped Julian Davion of his role as Prince's Champion, and left Terra without him or Julian's First Davion Guards.
