Kalliades is a Macedonian and close in age to Alexander himself so it is quite natural that they became friends, even before entering the mountain. In fact, Kalliades was a regular drinking companion of both Alexander and Hephaeston and also took the latter's death quite hard. Not as hard as Alexander, of course, but that was different.

​

Like all those people who suffer from deep passions and emotions, Kalliades is a natural entertainer and is always smiling, it would seem. Few would imagine how close he came to - just like Alexander - drinking himself to death when Hephaeston was taken. He was - privately - a nervous wreck when Alexander was on Thanatos' doorstep.

​

Odder yet is it too see how jolly old Kalliades and straight-laced Neshaa became such firm and inseparable friends but they have been known to debate late into the night while sharing guard duty or even when not.

​

There is an awful lot more to Kalliades than people think because they rarely see beyond the dancing eyes and smile.
