Caomhan MacBradaigh (pronounced kee-VAWN mac-BRAW-dee) was born on November 17th, 1988. His mother Paula is a concert pianist, and his father Charles is a doctor. His older sister Siobhan is an aspiring psychiatrist. The first five years of his life, Caomhan lived in Dublin, Ireland with his family. They also owned a German Shepherd dog named Aoife. After five years, the whole family including Aoife moved to Vancouver, Canada.

Growing up, Caomhan discovered a talent and passion for food, and after graduating from high school, he studied at the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver. There he built a reputation as a new food prodigy, displaying work ethic and practical skill far surpassing those of his fellow cooks. At age 19 he graduated with a Combined Professional Diploma, and immediately began working in Vancouver's top restaurants. To this day he has about eight years of experience in them.

He claims that "Vancouver doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to 'real' fine dining," but rather than abandon it, he aspired to change the city's food scene for the better. He would do this by first traveling the Earth to gain more knowledge of the culinary world at large, then he would return to Vancouver with his new knowledge. However, all of these plans were thwarted when he was chosen by Gaia.

After becoming one of Gaia's chosen, Caomhan was recruited into the Templars as a field agent. He has shown to be proficient with various types of magic in combat. In the field, he takes his time and is therefore rather slow to complete work, but protocol is followed with high accuracy, sometimes even exceeding expectations.

However, since his recruitment, Caomhan has voiced feelings of missing home, saying his "place is in the kitchen, not out in the field." However he has shown no instances of insubordinate behaviour. Currently he lives in Vancouver but travels through Agartha almost daily for field work.

Caomhan has blue-green eyes, brown hair and beard, and fair skin. His build is average, standing at approximately 181 centimetres tall and weighing 72 kilograms.

He calls himself a "simple-minded chef," and that holds true for the most part. Despite the intricacies found in his culinary work, Caomhan's language and mannerisms are straightforward in contrast. Jokes, innuendos, and euphemisms tend to fly right over his head, and thus one would do well to be upfront with him. He's honest, respectful, and down-to-earth, never meaning anyone any true harm. He claims to have political opinions, but keeps them to himself and therefore they are largely unknown.

Caomhan was in a romantic relationship with Stefan Dalca, a professor at the Oxford University's Occult Department. They were together from March to July 2017. He also has various acquaintances from the Templars and other factions.

According to a document provided by Caomhan's parents, the MacBradaigh bloodline has minor ties to the secret world, though none of their ancestors were notable nor influential figures. Paula and Charles MacBradaigh were raised in the mundane world and so they raised their children the same. However, if the document is to be believed, the MacBradaigh bloodline can be traced back to the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish folklore.

Born in Ireland but raised in Canada, Caomhan MacBradaigh is a gastronomic genius. Displaying unparalleled culinary skill among his colleagues, he skyrocketed to the top of Vancouver's culinary ladder and took his place among Vancouver's best cooks. He sought to make changes in his city's food scene, especially in the way of how fine dining is done, but the bee he swallowed and his subsequent recruitment with the Templars is slowing his progress. His true place is in the kitchen, not out in the field; but with the things he's seen, he's got work to do out there before he can return to the kitchen.
