Growing up in the Western Wood and being a son of the “Guardian of the Woods”, Cade naturally was adept in the ways of the Wood.

He is the apple of his fathers’ eye & has a playful sibling rivalry with his brother and sister. He idolizes his older brother, and is ferociously protective of his mother and sister. He has two pets, both of which he raised from their birth. Talus: a blue-tailed hawk, and Umber: a black wolf. He has come of age for the Ordering and hopes to bring honor the House McBaird.
