Biography of Daniel Caldwell
“You solve enough cases, you stop believing in coincidences. You live long enough… you start fearing the answers.”
At first glance, Detective Daniel Caldwell is everything a modern investigator should be—brilliant, unshakable, methodical, with a sardonic wit that cuts as sharply as his deductions. But beneath the trench coat and badge lies something far older: a man who has walked centuries in pursuit of truth, cursed with time by the very gods he now hunts.
Once known as Batuhan, a celebrated officer in the Ottoman Empire’s Gendarmerie, Daniel first crossed paths with the Ensharra family while investigating a strange incident at an elite school attended by the youngest generation—Izzy, Tristan, Damian, and Genevieve. What began as a routine inquiry became a descent into the supernatural underworld of ancient power, divine bloodlines, and mythic conspiracies. Most who uncovered what Daniel did were erased. But not him.
Andrew Ensharra (Anu), amused by the detective’s relentless logic and sheer audacity, spared his life—and cursed it. He made Daniel immortal. “You can’t die, detective. So now you’ll always have time to solve your cases.”
Since then, Daniel has roamed through time, chasing monsters in three-piece suits, unmasking gods posing as CEOs, and watching history reshape itself while he remains unchanged. He doesn’t age. He doesn’t sleep much. And he never forgets. He has worked with emperors and warlords, presidents and killers. But there is only one name he answers to now: Detective Caldwell.
Despite his isolation, Daniel holds a quiet loyalty to Antonia Ensharra (Antu)—a loyalty even he struggles to explain. She’s called him back. Andrew Ensharra is dead. And this time, the case is personal.
But how do you investigate the death of a god—especially the one who made you immortal?
Now paired with a new partner who knows nothing of his past, Daniel must navigate deception, power, and prophecy once again. He’s solved the unsolvable. He’s outlived every witness. But this case may be the one that finally breaks him.
