Michaelis 'Cale' Kranidis

A side character in Teriyaki Savior.

Michaelis is one of Vance's brothers-in-arms in the army, and his best friend. He's the only one besides Nyoko that Vance has ever, and will ever, opened up to. A calculating, calm type, who treats most things with dubiousness. He is rarely surprised by anything, but whether that's from his analytical nature or a sheer lack of interest is unknown.

Cale's last name is from a professor at one of my colleges. It was suggested to me by some friends and classmates when I expressed a need for a good Greek surname for the character. I couldn't help it. She was awesome.
