Arkoos for Callais
Character: Callais
Lines: 39
Role: Supporting Male
Age: 70
Description: Callais, King of Elkaria, is a commanding and regretful presence, embodying authority and command. After losing the use of his legs in an attack from The Lord of the Night years ago, Callais fears the second coming of Luan and the destruction of Elkaria. While resolute and serious, Callais also shows signs of fatigue and weariness that comes with age. His character arc sees him become less and less powerful over the course of the story as Luan holds more and more power over him, manipulating him through his past actions and love for his family. Auditionees should be able to convey a regal, imposing demeanor and be capable of giving a glimpse into a younger Callais, once menacing and brutal.
I’ve done things in my past, dear one, that I am not proud of. But everything I’ve ever done, I’ve done for Elkaria. The Lord of the Night… yes, I knew him long ago, when I was just a boy of sixteen. His name was Luan then. He did not know the power he held. And now he’s come to enact his revenge on me; a revenge that is justified.
So the time has finally come for you to fulfill your promise to me?Do what you must to me, Luan. I am your enemy. But my children… my grandchildren… spare them.
