Brief Character History
Caleb was one of a long line of vampires from Transylvania many years ago. When he was grown up he fell in love with a beautiful woman named Olivia. She fell in love with him but when he confided in her that he was a vampire and wanted her to become one too when they got married, she was mortified of him and refuse to marry him. He killed her without taking her blood when she tried to get away from him and refused to marry him. However, Caleb's obsession with the beautiful Olivia didn't go away.
Caleb also had a kinder, gentler alter-ego, named Michael, who was like another personality he manifested to try to suppress Caleb's evilness. Michael was acting like a priest, and living in an abandoned monastery in the woods. He was living an isolated life to keep people from learning about his evil side, Caleb. However, his isolation didn't stop him from running into another woman who was suddenly staying at some cabin nearby. He watched her out in the woods chopping wood for a fire. He came upon her and introduced himself. Her name was Dr. Eve Lambert, a doctor at General Hospital. She was staying there to do some thinking about her life, and hoping her new love, Ian would find her there. Eve befriended Michael/Caleb. Michael gave her advice about her new complicated relationship with Ian and her divorce from Kevin Collins. Meanwhile, the Caleb side of his persona had entranced and enslaved sweet nurse Gabriella Garza, ruining her relationship with boyfriend Joe and leading everyone to puzzle over her wild behavior.
Michael couldn't conceal his secret forever. Eve wandered to the monastery to see Michael one day. She saw Caleb, who scared Eve and held her hostage. Eventually, Michael became the more dominant personality and freed Eve. He told Eve that he has a twin brother named Caleb, who is sick and dangerous and needs to be locked up. Eve buys his story and feels worried about his own safety. Soon after, she invites Michael to live with her and Ian, after he marries them at the monastery, and the place is destroyed by a fire at Caleb's hands. Michael's interest in Eve gets the attention of Ian, who is suspicious of Michael and thinks Michael is in love with Eve secretly and because he is a priest won't admit it. Ian warns Michael to stay away from Eve after he learns about Caleb and how dangerous he is. Michael finds himself having a hard time keeping Caleb's personality in control and the two personalities face off. Caleb knows that Michael is in love with Eve, and uses her to get to Michael. Michael gives Eve an amulet necklace to help protect her from Caleb's evil. He tells her he wants her to have it as a spiritual gift for a friend. Eve soon learns that the necklace is for protection against Caleb. Eve enlists the help of her ex-husband, Kevin Collins to help her when Michael's actions start to worry her. With Kevin's help, they figure out that Michael and Caleb are one in the same person. However, by then, Caleb sees a young girl in the woods not far from the monastery. He is captivated by her as he watches her with her boyfriend, Jack.
After Jack was near-death from a motorcycle crash, Caleb finished him off. Unknowingly, he made him one of the undead (not a vampire until he tasted human blood). Caleb met Livvie in an alleyway during an emotional breaking point for her. He began exerting a hypnotic, erotic influence over her, slowly convincing her to abandon her family, boyfriend, and friends, to spend the rest of her days with him. He even conjured up an image of her comatose mother to convince her that Caleb was her future. The only step left to take was waiting for Eve to give birth to her son, and kidnapping him.
Those close to Livvie were eventually clued into what was going on. In a final battle at the hospital, Caleb played with their minds and attempted to kill them, as Lucy (who found out she is a vampire slayer) tried to kill him. Ultimately, on the hospital roof, the "good" side of Caleb - Michael - broke through after pleading from Eve, and summoned a bolt of lightning to destroy himself and Caleb.
Caleb's many victims breathed a sigh of relief, thinking their torment was over. They were wrong.
Each couple began experiencing feelings of doubt, of insecurity, seeds that fertilized and grew with each week. What they didn't realize was that Caleb had planted those seeds, and was growing stronger every time they succumbed to their need to argue, to cast blame and throw accusations.
Livvie was in the center of the storm, because she was doing Caleb's dirty work for him. Pretending to be a small child, a long-lost love, everything. She had no control over herself. Caleb then forced her to kill Lucy.
Celebrating his return to corporeal form, Caleb drew those he hated to a restaurant called Tempted, planning to destroy them all. His grand finale turned against him when he discovered Lucy's death had been faked, and Livvie had managed to break free of his enthrallment of her. She drove a stake through Caleb's heart, ending his reign of terror...for now.
