	The initial concept for Kaldonis was simply to try to roleplay a crazy character. An issue encountered here is that a character wouldn't know they are crazy, and being completely random or malevolently violent is generally not viewed kindly by the player base of any community. Therefore, some of his themes have changed over the last two decades, but fortunately as a crazy character one has a bit of freedom to change personalities suddenly drastically. The player of Kaldonis elected to select a halfling sorcerer mainly because, at the time, it seemed like the most bizarre combination. To ensure this was true, he was selected as a Paradis halfling, which was actually the band which left the other halfling tribes because of demonology in the Undead War. In later years, the player of Kaldonis recognized his character had come to resemble a male version of Madam Mim from the Sword in the Stone [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_in_the_Stone_(1963_film)#Cast], which is reasonably suitable owing to the fact that the Madam Mim character design and animation is largely attributed to the player's cousin, Milt Kahl [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milt_Kahl].

Despite having many alts, and a number of other characters, the roleplaying experience and challenge behind a truly insane persona turns out to be very rewarding. It is a constant challenge, and the character is found to say and do things which even surprise the player behind the keyboard (which is usually hilarious).
