Very special thanks to CD PROJEKT RED for rigs, animation and amazing support.
At the beginning of the Second Northern War, while Queen Meve was attending a meeting with the other monarchs of the Northern Kingdoms at Hagge, Count Caldwell was tasked with helping Villem, Meve's eldest son, to run the kingdom of Lyria and Rivia.
When Meve returned however, Count Caldwell told her that the situation got out of control as a gang of bandits known as the Strays of Spalla stole all the gold from the tax collectors' office.
Right after the leader of the Strays was put in irons, a Lyrian messenger arrived, telling the queen that the Empire of Nilfgaard just crossed the Yaruga with thousands of soldiers.
It turned out that the Strays of Spalla were hired by Caldwell in order to deceive Meve and to buy time in order to treat with Nilfgaard. To learn how Meve got out of the pickle, you'll need to play Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales :)
Caldwell appears in the game as an avatar in a battle. He actually occupies little screen space and thus his budget is only about 8K polygons. We compensate for this fact with PBR materials and carefully distributed shapes. How do you like him?
