Biography
Cadlys is an avid chemist, creating potions and acids of many different kinds and selling the ones they consider to be failures on the dark web for a living. They make these concoctions in the safety of his bunker, located somewhere within a graveyard of skulltitan bones near Occeus' hive. They also live with their bonded matesprit, Mariel, and Dia, a young troll the two of them took in at some point in the past.
His goal is seemingly to create "aqua vitae", the water of life, which Secily notes as a liquid said to cleanse rivers and "bring those who are suffering back to reality once more." Their motive may be to heal Repiton and restore it.
During the events of Snowbound Blood: Volume Six, Cadlys invites Secily inside his home to talk, although he cannot offer more than anecdotes about his experiences having Noxious as a client. At the end of their route, they point Secily toward Oricka's matesprit and known vigilante across Repiton's criminal underbelly: Necron Exmort, the Ashbringer.
As of Intermission 2 Side 2, Cadlys appears to be taking refuge at Eidolic Acres with some of the other Snowbound Blood characters.
Personality and traits
Cadlys is the type of person to conceal his true self, as seen by his literal mask and his metaphorical mask, his wide grin. They tend to be casual about most things. However, when it comes to things such as a certain concoction named Takeaway that he has stored away, the mask comes off and he presents himself as cold and dead serious, changing his quirk as a result.
They also became a bit vulnerable when talking about Dia, most likely having a very personal connection to whatever happened to her.
