Caramon Majere was
born in AC 335 in Solace. He was minutes older than his twin brother, Raistlin.
From birth, he was the stronger and healthier of the two. His father, Gilon
Majere, was a wood cutter by trade and worked long and hard to support his
family. His mother, Rosamun, suffered from panic attacks and hallucinations
following the disappearance of her first husband, Gregor Uth Matar. She rarely
was able to get out of bed, which left it up to Kitiara, his half-sister, to
take care of the twins.
Caramon was always
good hearted and spirited, although a bit naive. He was the spitting image of
his father: massive & well-muscled. Ever since he was a boy, he'd always
been gifted at swordfighting. He looked up to Kitiara for her sword skill and
often sparred with her as a child.
Because of
Raistlin's poor health and his connection to him as his twin, Caramon always
looked after Raistlin and stood up for him when he was bullied. After
Raistlin's test at the Tower of High Sorcery, Caramon became even more
protective and mothering to Raistlin.
After Rosamun and
Gilon died, Flint Fireforge looked after the twins and introduced them to
Tanis. He and Raistlin befriended Sturm, Tanis and eventually Tasslehoff in
Solace as well.
Caramon and Raistlin
went on many adventures as young men. Using Caramon's brute strength and
sword-arm and Raistlin's skill in magic, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Caramon and Tika Waylan,
old friends from childhood, fell in love after their reunion years later and
time together during the War of the Lance. They were married during the war and
later had 5 children. Three boys: Tanin, Sturm, and Palin, and 2 girls. Caramon
and Tika took over proprietorship of the Inn of the last Home when Otik
retired.
During the War of
the Lance, Caramon proved himself a valiant hero. His deeds were spoken of on
all corners of Krynn. After the war, his brother left him and turned to the
black robes. Caramon wasn't the same since. He had let himself become a
slobbering drunk and was no longer the muscle-bound hero he used to be.
When his brother
went back in time to try to become a god, Caramon was obligated to follow him
back to Istar before the Cataclysm (along with Tasslehoff and Crysania) to stop
him. He was captured by Istarian guards and wrongly accused of murder. As
punishment, he was sent to the arena.
There, he was forced
to get back into shape to fight. He eventually escaped and followed Raistlin,
who had assumed the identity of Fistandantilus, into the future (just after the
Cataclysm). In this time period, he became a great leader in the Dwarfgate
Wars.
He then traveled far
into the future where Raistlin had become a god and wiped every living thing
from the face of Krynn. Upon seeing the grim future of Krynn, he traveled back
to present day and confronted Raistlin. He showed Raist what the future would
bring and that evil can not create, it can only destroy. Raistlin, who had
ventured into the Abyss to face Takhisis, realized the futility of his plan and
sacrificed his life to keep Takhisis from re-entering Krynn through "The
Portal".
Caramon's sons went
on to become part of the next generation of heroes on Krynn.
