Blessed of Idamra: Cade was chosen as the Blessed of Idamra, which physically manifests itself as a spade-shaped brand on his rump. The brand makes Cade a magnet for all things unlikely, both good and bad. On a broad scale, this means that Cade is dragged into many things much bigger than himself and ends up as a sort of "wrench in the works." On a smaller scale, this means that Cade is frequently involved in comic misunderstandings, and often seems to escape harm more through pure luck than any kind of skill (a good example would be this page here.).
