The story of Calidore Tesio is long and cruel... Calidore was the runt of a small litter and was left to die of exposure as is customary. It was only through divine providance and a miraculous show of will that the vernal Calidore found strength enough to crawl within the decaying carcass of a bullock, finding therein a source of both shelter and foul nutrient enough to weather winters worst.
The severity of this initial hardship and countless others means Calidore is today the very essence of a robust, capable and uncomprimising artist.

When I think of Calidore I see the heart of what this civilization aspires to become.

- Samuel Priddle (fool and general disgrace)
