- "You know, Cal, when we worked together, I always thought you were a reasonable guy-"
"No you didn't and no I wasn't. You thought I was 'a cold-blooded psychopath' - they showed me the report you wrote." - —Jack West Jr and Kallis
Cal Kallis is a former Delta operator who was recruited into the Commander-in-Chief's In Extremis Force.
History[]
Early History[]
Some time after turning 18, Cal Kallis joined the U.S. Delta Force.
At the beginning of the Gulf War, Kallis took part in Operation Desert Storm, and was deployed to Basra in Iraq, under Marshall Judah's command. In March, Kallis led a Delta team that was set to work with the Australian SAS soldier Jack West Jr in destroying a SCUD base, but after the base was destroyed, Jack reported that the base's 300 Republican Guards (whom their intel had missed) were coming, Kallis ordered his team to retreat. After fleeing to their extraction point, Kallis boarded the first rescue chopper, and after seeing their second chopper get blown up, ordered his pilot to leave, even after seeing Jack rushing to catch up to them.
Some time after Jack made his own escape from Basra, he wrote a report detailing his concern about Kallis's sadism.
At some point prior to 2006, Kallis was assigned to the Commander-in-Chief's In Extremis Force, serving as Judah's right-hand man as they were ordered to undertake a mission to collect the pieces of the Golden Capstone hidden inside each of the seven ancient wonders of the world.
Seven Ancient Wonders[]
Tracking Jack to a mine in the Sudan, Kallis was part of an advance team, and located the swamprunners Jack had used. After he captured Jack's team, Kallis threatened to kill Zoe Kissane unless they handed over the Piece they had collected. After reporting to Judah, he was ordered to bring Jack to Judah and kill everyone else. However, when the European's attack allowed them the chance to escape, Judah then ordered Kallis to at least allow Jack and Lily, daughter of the Oracle of Siwa, to escape. However, Jack's entire team managed to get away.
After tracking Jack to Hamilcar's Refuge, Kallis and his team followed them through the main entrance and through the trap system. When Judah's team arrived, Kallis met up with them after they had retrieved the next two Pieces, and were ordered to finish off the rest of Jack's team using stinger missiles, only for them to escape again.
When Judah then led his forces to Jack's base in Kenya, Kallis was among his men waiting to capture / kill Jack's team when they returned on the Halicarnassus. But Doris Epper gave a subtle warning to Lily, who realised it was a trap, and Kallis tried to prevent them escaping. Although they did yet again, Kallis found Big Ears, who had been shot in the head but was still alive, and ruthlessly executed the young Irish soldier.
As Judah led a force to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Kallis and his men waited at the alternative exit, where they destroyed the Israeli's escape chopper. After surrounding Avenger and his men once they emerged from the Gardens, Kallis took the Piece from them, and coldly executed them on the spot.
Once the Americans had all of the Pieces of the Golden Capstone, Kallis was among Judah's men at the Great Pyramid at Giza to perform the ceremony. He worked to stop Jack's team from interfering, and after using all of his ammunition, fought Jack in hand to hand combat, easily taking the upper hand. As he gloated of killing Big Ears and finally getting the chance to kill Jack as well, Jack instead punched his metal fish through Kallis's nose. The barely conscious Kallis was dropped over the side of the platform, and his body was diced up by a crashed chopper's rotor blades.
Personality[]
Much like Marshall Judah, his commanding officer in the CIEF, Kallis is a cruel and sadistic man who enjoys killing people greatly, especially during his time as a Delta force assassin. Unlike Judah, however, Kallis is not very bright, and unconcerned with long-term tactics, as demonstrated when he admitted to wanting to kill Jack despite needing him alive to unknowingly lead the CIEF to the Capstone pieces.
