Cathmore "Caddy" McGallagher | Twenty-One | 6'5"

Cathmore “Caddy” McGallagher was born on October 11, 1756, in the small Irish village of Loughbriar, nestled deep within the countryside of Leitrim. The eldest of six children, he grew up surrounded by the familiar bustle of his large family, the warmth of a close knit community, and the simple pleasures of village life. His father, Earl McGallagher, is the village butcher, and although Caddy has long since reached adulthood, he remains a devoted son who has never known a home beyond Loughbriar.

In 1777, when Caddy was just twenty-one, the village received a blessing from the fairies that would change its fate forever. Loughbriar became suspended outside the passage of time, appearing to the outside world for only seven days every hundred years. While centuries have passed beyond its borders, Caddy and the other villagers have remained unchanged. To him, life continues much as it always has, with the same familiar faces, traditions, and routines. But the enchantment comes with a terrible price: leaving Loughbriar would cause time to catch up with the village and everyone within it, ending the lives the fairies preserved.

Standing at an impressive 6'5", Caddy is a gentle giant with unruly ginger curls, freckled porcelain skin, pale green eyes, and subtly pointed ears. Despite his imposing height, he's painfully shy around unfamiliar faces, often stumbling over his words when nervous. His airy Irish lilt has a habit of cracking at the most unfortunate moments, particularly when he's flustered. Dreamy, good-natured, and sometimes a little slow to catch on, he approaches the world with an earnestness that makes him difficult not to adore.

Caddy finds happiness in life's quieter moments, whether he's tending the land, playing his fiddle, or spending an afternoon lost in a book. Beneath his bashful exterior, however, is a fiercely loyal young man whose greatest fears are abandonment and losing the people he loves. Outsiders are rare enough to unsettle him, and the possibility of forming an attachment to someone who might disappear after seven days is something he has never truly had to confront.

For a man who has lived more than two centuries without growing a day older, Caddy has experienced remarkably little of the world beyond his village. And with Loughbriar's next seven day appearance underway, he may soon discover that the most frightening thing about forever isn't being trapped in one place. It's finding someone who might not stay.
