An American steel tycoon who was on the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic from Southampton, England to New York City in order to marry his younger fiancee, Rose DeWitt Bukater. However, along the way, Rose met a friendly young tramp, Jack Dawson, and fell in love with him. Caledon became furious and he locked Jack in the bowels of the ship. However, just as this is taking place, the ship hits a massive iceberg and begins to sink. Caledon escapes the disaster unharmed, but his valet Spicer Lovejoy perished. Caledon finally married, of course, and inherited his millions. But the crash of 1929 hit his interests hard, and Caledon put a pistol in his mouth that year, utterly disgraced.
