Caleb is the fifth love interest in Love And Deepspace. Those of you who have played through the main story may wonder how Caleb could return after such an explosive exit. The details surrounding Caleb’s return are shrouded in mystery and intrigue, but one thing remains clear: Caleb is back and here to stay.
Caleb has been a life-long fixture in the MC’s life and has been by her side through thick and thin. His homecoming brings high emotions, narrative intrigue, and excitement to the main story. No matter where his story leads, it’s certain to be full of twists, turns, and tears.
This article contains spoilers for Chapter Four of the main storyline.
Who Is Caleb?
Caleb is the MC’s long-time childhood friend. Fourteen years ago, after the Chronorift Catastrophe of 2034, Caleb and the MC were both orphaned through as-of-yet-unknown circumstances. At this point, Grandma (or Gran, as Caleb calls her), takes in both children.
The MC was around seven or eight years old when their ‘Grandma’, Josephine, took them in, but Caleb is a few years older than the MC and is 25 years old when introduced in the main storyline.
Caleb is the second tallest of the love interests at six feet two inches (or about 188 cm) tall. He has dark brown hair and light violet eyes.
Before Caleb was officially announced as a new love interest, some theorized that he would become one because of his character model’s ‘galaxy eyes.’ While not a scientific approach, this method may help identify future love interests in-game before they are officially announced.
Caleb’s birthday is June 13, making him a Gemini. Past birthday events began around a week before the character’s actual birthday, so his event will likely begin around June 6.
Caleb is available as a love interest and companion character after completing the version 3.0 update on January 22, 2025.
Caleb’s Past
Caleb has been by the MC’s side the longest of any of the love interests, since he has lived with the MC since they were both children. The pair were raised by Josephine, a former scientist who adopted the two as her grandchildren.
Caleb is the only love interest to mention having a personal relationship with another love interest and is childhood friends with Dr. Zayne. He even suggests inviting him over to a family dinner.
After graduating from school in Skyhaven, Caleb entered the military as a fighter pilot in the Deepspace Aviation Administration – a prestigious and highly secretive military organization.
During his time in flight school, Caleb did not see his Gran or the MC for several months, if not years.
Before leaving for flight school, the MC gives Caleb a silver necklace with an apple charm on it. He is seen wearing this necklace when he is introduced in Chapter Four of the main storyline.
Main Story
Caleb first enters the main story in ‘Family,’ Episode One of Chapter Four, when he contacts the MC, letting her know that he is coming home. He then surprises her by showing up a day early for a family dinner with their Gran.
When the MC’s hunter watch goes off at the dinner table, alerting her of possible Wanderer activity in the area, she makes a speedy exit. Sensing something may be wrong, Caleb goes with her.
When the pair return home, Caleb enters the house while the MC waits outside. Surprising players and characters alike, an explosion destroys the house when Caleb enters, leaving nothing but the apple necklace the MC gave Caleb, and a smoking pile of rubble, behind.
After the explosion, Caleb and Gran are presumed dead, and the MC vows to find the villain behind the attack so that she can take her revenge.
Work Life
While not much else is known about Caleb’s job, he is a fighter pilot in the Deepspace Aviation Administration. Caleb is secretive about his work life but admits to the MC that he has completed missions within the mysterious Deepspace Tunnel.
All other details about his work are considered classified information that he cannot disclose to the public.
In promotional material for Caleb’s official release as a love interest, it is suggested that at some point, Caleb became a Colonel in the Deepspace Aviation Administration. It’s unclear whether this happened before or after the explosion.
More about Caleb’s work life will likely be revealed in his memory and myth cards as they are added post-3.0 version launch.
Personality
With so little known about Caleb and his past with the MC, his personality and interests remain a mystery.
Promotional material for his release hints at a kind-hearted, yet possessive nature that some consider evidence that Caleb will become the game’s first yandere character.
A yandere character is a character who is loving, gentle, and kind to their love interest, but who will not hesitate to maintain or protect their relationship using obsessive, possessive, and sometimes violent methods.
From what official content has been released so far, Caleb seems to have an easy-going rapport with the MC, likely nurtured throughout their life together.
The MC has expressed that she loves Caleb’s cooking, so much so that Gran said she would make him cook for the MC every day when he comes home. However, despite being a good cook, Caleb dislikes cilantro.
Little else is known about Caleb’s tastes and hobbies so far, but he seems to be a fan of apples and apple-flavored things, like apple syrup and soda. The apple is Caleb’s main motif in-game and recurs in many of his memories.
