Caisson is the son of Mevolent and Abyssinia. For a while, it was alleged that his father was Lord Vile but this is later revealed to be false. His true parentage was kept a secret for his own protection but he ended up being killed by Serafina Dey's assassin sister, Kierre, when the secret went public. His body was then used as a vessel for The Unnamed.
Caisson was still young when his mother Abyssinia was attacked by the Diablerie and the Dead Men. Abyssinia made a secret deal with China Sorrows, sacrificing her own life in exchange for allowing Caisson to live and be raised by China. Caisson grew up in Mevolent's castle pretending to be a servant's child to not raise suspicions, but as he got older it became harder for him to avoid attention and his hatred for Mevolent grew stronger every year. China, who had grown to love the boy and wanted to protect him, defected from Mevolent's side and agreed to help the Sanctuaries if she was allowed to return to Ireland. Caisson, who had grown into a very angry young man, wanted revenge against Skulduggery Pleasant for killing his mother. He sought him out and tried to kill him, but Skulduggery defeated him easily and almost killed him. Caisson was found, fatally wounded, by Solace, a former handmaiden of Serafina Dey, and she nursed him back to health. They lived happily for a long time until Solace was captured and taken back to Mevolent's castle, where Serafina planned to torture her. Caisson sneaked in to rescue his beloved, but couldn't resist the opportunity to kill Mevolent by stabbing him and then draining his life force. The two lovers escaped, but China Sorrows revealed their location to Serafina, who captured Caisson.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Midnight[]
Caisson spent a few hundred years being experimented on by Serafina's people until Cadaverous Gant tricked the Anti-Sanctuary into helping him rescue Caisson, only to take him for himself. Gant kept him in the Midnight Hotel as bait for Abyssinia, who had been resurrected by the Anti-Sanctuary a few months previously. Abyssinia teamed up with Skulduggery Pleasant and Temper Fray just long enough to find Caisson and take him away. Caisson himself spent the entire events of the book unconscious.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Bedlam[]
Caisson meets with Valkyrie to find out the location of Greymire Asylum where K-49 is kept in exchange for the location of Doctor Nye. Valkyrie finds the location in Clockwork House (Mellifluous Golding's House), but is reluctant to give Caisson the location. Instead she breaks into Greymire Asylum herself, finds out K-49 is a room and steals the music box, assuming incorrectly it is the "cure". Instead it was used to subdue Caisson's lover Solace, as it numbs the mind. So as Caisson didn't want the music box but his lover, Valkyrie sees herself forced to divulge the location of Greymire Asylum. He then goes on to free Solace with the help of his mother, which alerts China Sorrows to the fact that the location of Greymire Asylum, a well guarded secret until then, isn't secret anymore.
During his mother's attack on Roarhaven, he learns that he is Mevolent's son. Hurt by Abyssinia's betrayal, he flees with Solace. He is then invited by Damocles Creed to watch the activation of Temper Fray at the Dark Cathedral, turning him into a Kith. However they are interrupted by Serafina's sister, Kierre of the Unveiled who kills Caisson, because he, as Mevolent's son, could be seen as a rallying point for the followers of the Legion of Judgement, taking away Serafina's power.
Abyssinia rushes from Oregon to her dying son, heaving seen a vision of his assassination. Upon his death she sends Nero to fetch a soul catcher containing his grandfather's soul. She breaks it and Caisson's body is taken over by his grandfather.
