Info:
Priam was Caius's best friend during their childhood years. Both orphans living by themselves in the streets of Thrycia, they teamed up in order to survive the harsh society, bonding and becoming the closest thing they ever had to a family.
Being born a Dretchling - an humanoid race descending from devils - Priam was naturally ostracized by others. In this sense, Caius has the only source of affection Priam ever had, leading to a deep sense of attachment to his only friend.
Unfortunately, this connection was to be broken. When a robbery went wrong, and Priam ended up killing a guard to save his best friend, Caius blamed Priam as the sole perpetrator. And the punishment for such capital crime would be hanging - something both were quite aware of.
Fortunately, Reverend Hale IV, using his divine jurisdiction, was able to absolve Priam of his crimes, but the damage was done. This betrayal would change Priam forever, and torn the boys apart.
More than a decade has gone by since that fateful event, and the two boys - now men - never met again.
The Priam we see in the story is a fragment of Ciaus's imagination, a memory of old times. He appears to Caius in his dreams, to remind him of his actions, to try and make up, to cry and plead Caius not to abandon him.
Deeply hurt and sad, but with a hopeful wish that a happier outcome is possible.

"Caius, I... I had too! He was going to-" (You just killed a guard to save your best friend and now he's blaming you for it. You cry, you plead, you try to justify your actions, with no luck.)
"Why did you abandon me, Caius?! I thought we were friends..." (Angry. And then sad and hurt.)
"You're coming back, right?" (Slightly sad, but hopeful.)
