Still fairly young for a Rodulan and yet decades older than most of his peers, Caedan has a quick smile and easy-going demeanour. In the human-dominated Starfleet he doesn't stand out in either height or build, while his hobby of hauling himself up tall objects under his own power has developed a respectable muscle mass as well as callouses on his hands. He keeps his hair relatively short, starting out neat and styled in the morning and often a mess by the evening, courtesy of his habit of running his hands through it when thinking or anxious.

--> [[Image:Caedan-Nkai-1.jpg|thumb|225px|left]]
Caedan is a gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individual who lives in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. He generally strives to do what's right, is troubled by injustice and cares more about altruism than personal gain. It's not unusual to find he's attached himself to a cause—from helping an overlooked officer fulfil their potential to far grander movements such as the liberation of his homeworld. 
He can speak with great passion and conviction, especially when standing up for his ideals, but at other times he can be softly-spoken and understanding, preferring to play peacekeeper instead of challenging others. Whatever his approach, he is concerned for people's feelings, and tries to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone.
He values order and systems in his everyday life, and will put a lot of energy into identifying and implementing the best way to get things done, constantly assessing and adjusting his priorities. Conversely, he operates his internal world on an almost entirely intuitive basis—he often knows things without being able to pinpoint why, or without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand.
He is sensitive to conflict and often does not tolerate it very well, and charged situations can incite him into agitation or even anger. Rarely is he at complete peace with himself, often feeling there's something he should be doing to improve himself or the lives of the people around him. This relentless need to make things better can mean he doesn't pause to take care of himself, and sometimes needs a friend or concerned colleague to push him into taking some time to decompress, recharge and process his thoughts and feelings.

* '''Climbing''': Though Caedan could not be accused of being sporty, he does nonetheless enjoying climbing as a hobby. He would one day like to climb an eight-thousander, but for the time being he is restricted to simulations in the holodecks, and climbs that do not require any acclimatisation while on shore leave.

* '''Baking''': Caedan often baked with his grandparents as a child, and has continued that hobby into adulthood. Every year, he bakes along with the Galactic Bake Off, something his colleagues have come to greatly anticipate.
* '''Sculpting''': Like most Rodulans, Caedan telepathically sculpts [[Rodulan#Basotile|basotile]] both as a hobby and a way to maintain his neural health.

|<center>Best Friend</center>
|Caedan met Valesha when the Romulan scientist cut a lonely figure at an awards ceremony. Despite her sharp tongue, he warmed to her and her sly, often dark sense of humour, and the two became firm friends. He's often aware that there's a lot more bubbling under the surface than she cares to give away, and he has made a concerted effort to try and help alleviate her loneliness by introducing her to some of his wider circle. After his life-threatening injury during [[Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (Gorkon)|Lladre's capture of the Gorkon]], she was one of the people who visited him in sickbay, confessing how important he was to her.

|<center>Firm Friends</center>
|Erin and Caedan became friends while serving aboard the Gorkon ''[[Annus Horribilis (Gorkon)|Over There]]''. The hybrid woman particularly endeared herself to him when she spent the last of her personal replicator rations to bring him a [[Rodulan swuit stick|swuit stick]] on a day he was feeling particularly low. Since then, they've grown into friends, and he has even managed to convince her to accompany him on the odd climbing trip.

|Two individuals with an affable, generous disposition, Caedan and Chris always worked easily and well together. Chris was easily one of his favourites while Caedan was still in Operations—something the Rodulan tried not to make ''too'' obvious—and the human's relationship with [[Valesha Sienelis|Valesha]] has subsequently shifted the man firmly into the circle of people Caedan considers his friends.

|Until recently, Caedan and Ayiana were little more than friendly co-workers, not often working together or sharing many interests. The seeds of friendship were planted when the pair shared some drinks and a heartfelt conversation about love and life during shore leave on [[Deluvia system|Deluvia IV]].

|Trained as an engineer, Caedan appreciates Tasha's skills and ingenuity in her chosen profession, though he harbours concerns over her ability to effectively lead a department. While definitely the playful sort himself, he does occasionally find himself frustrated by the Chief Engineer's childish demeanour, particularly when she deploys it at inappropriate times or in fits of rage.
