“ | I told you, we're not like that anymore. I don't want you to kill it either. It's a pet, a pet mouse. Well, it's actually an avatar for a real mouse. It's in hibernation. You know what that means? It means that when you wake up, he's still gonna be there. | ” |

Marcus Drusus, born Caleb, is a main character on the television series Raised by Wolves. He is portrayed by Travis Fimmel.
Caleb is a soldier for the Athiests who assumes the identity of the Mithraic soldier Marcus Drusus. As the state of the Earth rapidly began to decline during the Religious War in 2145,[1] he and his wife, Mary, had an android perform surgery on them, in order to make them look like a Mithraic couple set to relocate to the new world.
By chance they came across the original couple and murdered them, then assumed Marcus and Sue's identities and boarded the Ark of Heaven in their place.[1] Upon doing so, they discovered that the couple had a son, Paul, forcing them to quickly adjust to being his parents to avoid arousing suspicion. They soon realized that Paul's real parents were neglectful and borderline abusive, which left him antisocial, traumatized, and knowing very little about his parents' lives. As "Marcus and Sue", they decided to raise him properly over the years that followed, showing him love and affection and allowing him to get to know his, unbeknownst to him, new parents.[2]

On Earth, at the peak of the Religious War, Caleb and his wife, Mary, decided to forge a new path for themselves. Using the help of a stolen android, they changed their appearances and took the identities of Marcus and Sue, two individuals set to travel to the new world with the Mithraic.
