Caleb was the first person besides Dr. Sullivan to be told about "A" and actively worked on decrypting files from "A's" phone to help Hanna and her friends.

Biography
Caleb was given up by his biological mother, Claudia Dawson, twelve years ago, when he was around four or five years old, leading him to live in different foster homes. Caleb is open to reuniting with her for a visit when she extends the offer, however. Living  in foster care and his relationship with Hanna has greatly changed Caleb's outlook on the future. Caleb used to work for car thieves as a computer hacker in Allentown but realized it was wrong and moved away. He also realized spying on Hanna was wrong so backed away from Jenna and told Hanna the truth, they broke up but she eventually forgives him and they get back together. He is reunited with his father, who Hanna figured out was in fact Caleb's uncle, Jamie.

Season 1
He came to fix Emily's phone so that she could call Maya at her reform school. He could tell Emily is desperate, so he charges her an extra 400 bucks for a rush job.

Hanna and Emily pick up her phone at the dance, where Caleb cryptically tells Hanna that while he may not know much about her, she doesn't know much about herself either.

Hanna and Caleb begin to see each other more and more in the hallways and finally talk when  (where she would discover Aria and Mr. Fitz). He uses his phone to stage that his social worker has dismissed him from detention.



The next day, Caleb gives Hanna a piece from Ella Montgomery's car, which he had removed the day before. When Hanna finds him, she is pleased, but isn't outwardly grateful. She does offer him money, but Caleb says he wants something else; he doesn't know what yet, but he'll think about it.

In "Je Suis une Amie," Caleb has come up with an idea for what he would like Hanna to do to repay him: date him in order to up his credibility at school and win himself some cu her chaser with hairspray. Eventually, Aria and Hanna realize that their pursuer is Caleb, who has been sleeping at the school, having been abandoned by both his biological and foster parents.

The next day in the hallways, Hanna expresses her concern over Caleb living in school. He brushes off her sympathy, and Hanna introduces him to Bridget Wu in exchange for Caleb listing all the places that he previously lived in. The two continue this banter, exchanging names for information, and their friendship grows.

Later, Hanna finds Caleb unexpectedly introducing himself to Ashley.

Hanna's mother is concerned about her daughter becoming friends with Caleb, wary of his secretive, sarcastic personality.

In "The Badass Seed," Hanna walks into the bathroom to grab her mascara while Caleb is showering. Then, Ashley knocks on the bathroom door, asking Hanna if her phone was there. Ashley opens the bathroom door, prompting Hanna to jump in the shower fully clothed so that her mother won't realize it is Caleb showering, not Hanna. She holds her hand over his mouth so he won't make noise and she makes this awkward situation even worse when he catches her sneaking a peek when he turns around.

After that incident, Hanna ignores and avoids Caleb as much as possible. Thinking that she didn't want him in her house anymore, he prepares to leave. Hanna reluctantly tells the truth and Caleb is tender towards this. Touched, Hanna kisses him, which escalates into a full-on make out. Thus, the two of them begin to secretly date.

After Ashley forces Caleb out of the house, Hanna goes with him and they camp out in the woods. They talk about their past and roasting marshmallows, when they start kissing. Hanna later loses her virginity to him in the tent. After Hanna comes home the next morning, Ashley lets her know that she was about to call the police, worried about Hanna. But Hanna snaps back at her mother, surprised that she doesn't sympathize with Caleb's plight. Realizing that her relationship with Hanna is at risk of being compromised, Ashley picks up the phone when Caleb calls Hanna, and invite him to dinner.

Caleb comes over for dinner. Afterwards, Ashley allows Caleb stay in the guest bedroom for Hanna's sake. It can be seen that Ashely begins to accept Hanna's new boyfriend when she tells him to address her as "Ashley," instead of "Mrs. Marin." Caleb then steps outside to make a mysterious phonecall; whoever he is speaking to, he lets him/her know that he is no longer willing to assist.

In the episode "Someone to Watch Over Me," Hanna and Caleb seem closer than ever. At the Marins', Caleb makes eggs for breakfast, and Ashley gets used to having a guy in the house. Before heading out to school, Hanna finds what she thinks is a present meant for her in Caleb's bag in the form of a jeweled owl, presumably in commemoration of their first night when they heard owls in the woods.

At school, Aria and Emily overhear Caleb mysteriously speaking on the phone with someone, telling this person that something cannot happen that night. He keeps referring to "her," and it becomes clear after he mentions that he is living in "her" house that this "her" is Hanna. The other person seems to be hashing on Hanna and instructing him to accomplish some negative task. All the while, Caleb is defending Hanna. His phone conversation is overheard by Emily and Aria, and they conclude that Caleb is talking to another girl in a romantic way. When they share their suspicions with Hanna at lunch, she is refuses to believe that Caleb would do such a thing. However, when Jenna walks into the lunch room wearing the owl pendent that was found earlier around her neck, Hanna is devastated. She tries to text Caleb, but he doesn't respond.

Spencer then watches Jenna outside, who is working on her laptop. Spencer finds out that the owl is a flash drive when she sees Jenna plugging it into her computer. Hanna tries to reach Caleb for answers, but he is M.I.A., so she writes him a note and slips it into his locker. She starts to walks away, but then pauses and turns around. Remembering the Jenna's 2-1-4 message provided by Toby, Hanna tries to open Caleb's locker with the combination, and to her surprise, it works. She is furious and hashes out on Caleb when she returns home from school. He replied he never meant to hurt her, adding the fact he told Jenna that he couldn't help her anymore once things between him and Hanna started happening. She is not satisfied with this his explanation, and makes him leave.

Hanna breaks down, heartbroken over what Caleb has done, and Ashley is disheartened. When checking up on her daughter, Hanna pretends to be taking a bath, but her mother knows that she is really crying alone in the bathroom.

In the next episode "Monsters in the End," Caleb approaches Aria at school to request that she speak to Hanna on his behalf, but she doesn't want to get involved.

Then, Hanna approaches Caleb, where he is sitting reading an outdoor bench. Caleb is hopeful that this means that they are on speaking terms again. However, Hanna just asks to sit next to him to ask about Jenna. Caleb reveals that Jenna was looking for a key, though Hanna has no clue why or for what reason. Caleb explains that it was related to Allison. Caleb then asks Hanna a few questions regarding "the Jenna Thing". But, she retorts saying that she gets to ask the questions. After Hanna exhausts everything that Caleb knows, he brings up the issue of their relationship, and admits that he misses her. Hanna nods for a moment, brushes it off her shoulders, and walks away.

In the evening, Caleb tries to give Hanna a special goodbye letter before leaving Rosewood for Arizona, explaining his feelings for her and of course, apologizing. He goes to the Marins' residence to drop off the note for Hanna, but Hanna has gone to work a booth at the Founders Day, and Mrs. Marin tells him that Hanna does not need another guy in her life leaving without saying goodbye. After the encounter with Mrs. Marin giving him this advice, Caleb seeks Hanna out at the festival. Though, when Hanna sees him, she hides, and Caleb gives the letter to Mona. Mona reads the letter, rips it up and throws it away. (The last line on the letter reads, "I love you Hanna.")

Later, Hanna sees Caleb boarding the bus out of Rosewood. When Aria encourages Hanna to go talk to him, she simply walks away believing that Caleb didn't even bother telling her goodbye.

In "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Hanna forgets her cell phone on the lunch table in the cafeteria. At the same e Hanna the letter, using cas, claiming, and at the end of the episode, we see Caleb right back to Rosewood with Lucas.

Season 2
It's Alive Caleb is currently back in Rosewood and staying at Lucas' house. Earlier, Lucas had brought Caleb back to Rosewood to reunite with Hanna, but even though Hanna was relieved to hear that Caleb had tried to say goodbye before he left, she still was not ready to forgive him yet.

In "Blind Dates," Caleb is once again attending Rosewood High. He is eager to take Lucas up on his suggestion to make his date with Danielle a double with Caleb and Hanna. Caleb pushes Hanna during lunch to accept. She initially refuses, but after a few moments, she gives in. She points out that it is for Lucas' sake, not Caleb's benefit.

During the date, Caleb is back at Hanna's place joking around with her like old times, though Hanna seems annoyed by this. When Lucas informs Hanna that Danielle's assumption that Hanna s still into Lucas is ruining their date, she asks Caleb to embrace her, thus settling Danielle's fears and enabling her to get close to Lucas. Caleb is happy to embrace Hanna again, but she remarks that she isn't easy, letting him know she did it for their audience, not him.

In "The Devil You Know," Caleb tries to comfort Hanna after the town believes Ian to be Alison's murderer. She rebuffs him, but then apologizes, citing what she's going through. She then asks if he's ever seen a corpse, which he replies in the affirmative. Later, she confronts his foster mother Janet about taking the checks the government gives her for raising Caleb. After Ian's funeral, Caleb brings food and ice for Hanna, and reveals that he knows that Hanna threatened Janet. They kiss as he is about to leave. They have resumed their relationship in "Surface Tension."

In "Picture This," Caleb is found by a Private Investigator who was hired by his mom to find him. He later finds that his mom is very wealthy and is sorry she took to long to find him and that she has two other sons. Which means Caleb has two younger brothers or half-brothers. He decides to go meet his mom in California, but promises he will come back for Hanna.

In "Over My Dead Body," Caleb returns to attend Hanna's father's and step-mother's wedding. Kate sees Hanna and Caleb talking in the church. As soon as Hanna walks away, she tries to make advances on Caleb. But, Caleb, the ever-loyal boyfriend, rebuffs her with an insult that Hanna inspired.

Caleb returns from California after visiting his mother for a month in "Through Many Dangers, Toils, and Snares."

In "A Hot Piece of A," the Liars give the phone they found in The Greenhouse to Caleb hoping he would be able to decrypt the files in it. But, while downloading the information from the phone, the owner abruptly shuts it down. Caleb manages to get a few files but says that its going to take some time decrypting them as they are corrupted. Even though Hanna is reluctant, the others insist that he work on the files.

The next day, Hanna sees Caleb working on the files at school. Even though she's worried, Caleb assures her that no one knows what he's working on. When he asks about who's phone it is, Hanna does not give him a proper answer and instead calls out to Lucas, who is passing by, and makes plans to study after school.

At the Marins' Home, Hanna is studying with Lucas. While doing so, she gets a text from Spencer offering her lake house for Hanna and Caleb. Hanna suddenly gets the idea of throwing a surprise birthday party for Caleb and asks Lucas to help her.

At school, Caleb shows the girls a picture which he finally cracked from the one of the files. The photo shows four dolls which look exactly like the ones the girls received. He wants to know what the girls are exactly looking for but Spencer cuts him off saying that it's really great and asks him to forward the picture to all their phones. Aria, Emily and Spencer leave. When Hanna and Caleb are alone, Caleb really wants some answers but Hanna again changes the subject asking him what he wants for his birthday and then making out with him.

On his birthday, Caleb arrives at Spencer's Lake House to find Hanna totally drenched. When he asks about what happened, Hanna meekly mumbles, "surprise."

In "Let the Water Hold Me Down," Caleb is determined to find Lucas but Hanna is not interested. This leads to a fight between the two and Caleb storms away.

Later, Caleb comes to Hanna's house and at the same time, gets a call from Hanna. Confused, he answers the phone. He immediately rushes to Hanna when he hears Lucas's threatening voice in the background. Caleb asks what Lucas did and where he has been. Lucas reveals that he lost $4,000 in a bet over a basketball game, the money which belonged to Caleb. It was a sure thing until the team got disqualified. To compensate, he had been driving around and selling his comic books. Lucas apologizes and gives him some of the money. Caleb assures him that they will figure something out.

In "The Blond Leading the Blind," Caleb uncodes more videos. He see images in the video of Garrett, who happens to be sitting across from him at the espresso shop. Later on Caleb confronts Hanna on the cell phone and showing concern for her safety. After revealing that he is being watched Hanna destroys the flash drive in a blender leaving Caleb shocked.

Around the end of the episode we see Caleb talk to Spencer and Emily about the flashdrive Hanna destroyed and promises to keep working on the phone in exchange knowledge on what is going on and what Hanna is so afraid of him finding.

In "A Kiss Before Lying," Caleb is now helping the girls without Hanna's knowing. Caleb is able to get an image of a fake ID Alison made. Later Hanna finds out about Caleb helping the girls secretly and storms out of Spencer's house after finding the image of the fake ID.

Hanna confronts Caleb when she asks him to come see her. She asked him why he would go behind her back knowing how long it took her to trust him. Also telling him he's not the only person she's trying to protect. She then tells him about the serious money issue's her family went through, how they almost lost their house and how Ashley stole money from the bank to keep that from happening. Caleb is thanks her for trusting him enough to tell him. Hanna also tells him someone else knows and is holding it over her and when Caleb asks who it is she responds with "I don't know but its their phone you're working on".

Caleb thinking the phone belongs to Jenna knowing her history with the girls and how she had him spy on Hanna for her, storms over to her house only to find no one home. As he is about to leave he is confronted by Garrett, who asks him what is he doing her late at night. Caleb tells him that he wants her to stop threatening Hanna but Garrett tells him he needs to be a lot scarier if he wants Jenna to stop anything. He then tries driving his car into Caleb bike in effort of scaring him away.

In "The Naked Truth," The school is having a lock down for its Rosewood High Truth Up Day. Caleb attends only to find out he and Aria have been placed in the same class with Jenna. After sometime, Jason also enters the class along with Mrs. Hastings as their mentor. Aria wants to leave, but Caleb stops her saying that they don't have a choice and also that he has a lot to say with everybody speaking their minds today.

While in the music room the students are told to write something something truthful down and that it will be kept anonymous. Jenna refuses saying that people in the school have mistreated her and that it was full of phonies and liars. When Jenna goes to tell Mrs.Hastings on how she was cornered and slap in the girls restroom, Caleb immediately rebuffs that comment saying that if she did tell the truth that she would have to admit she threw the first punch.

Later on he and Hanna are on the roof of the school and Caleb tries to comfort her, reassuring her that her mother doesn't believe she sent that picture. He asks for her phone to see if he can trace the IP address on who actually sent the photo. Hanna refuses and tells him the way he can help her is by holding her. Caleb reluctantly gives up on trying to get her phone and kisses her.

At the end of the episode we see 'A ' sneak into the assembly hall where Caleb is sleeping and take his laptop.

In the next episode, at school, Caleb is still hacking into "A's" files, but immediately locks his computer when he spots Garrett walking toward him with another police officer. Garrett shows Caleb a court order, which allows them to confiscate his laptop. When Caleb asks why, Garret explains that someone is hacking into the school files, and he traced it back to his IP address. Caleb almost finds it humorous that they think he would be stupid enough to leave a trail, but Garrett says that they will find out, and a reluctant Caleb hands over his laptop. Garrett asks if there are any passwords they will need, but Caleb notes that the court order is allowing them to take his laptop, and doesn't say anything about what information is in his head.

Caleb and Hanna talk in the empty computer room, where Hanna is freaking out, but Caleb is calm. He assures Hanna that he didn't do what they think he did, and there is no way they will be able to get past his firewall without his help. Hanna says that someone did get into his laptop, and they put the evidence in there somewhere he wouldn't find it, and she thinks the person who did that might be Garrett. She suggests Caleb to go online, log into his computer remotely and delete the files. But when he tries, he can't connect, which he says means one of two things: either the police haven't tried messing with it yet, or they're smart enough to keep it offline.

Later, Caleb is at the police station. He calls Hanna and tells her that he plans to cooperate, as he doesn't seem to have a choice. As Caleb notices Darren and Garrett arriving, he quickly tells Hanna that he is in a very hot spot and that he needs her help, hanging up before he can elaborate, and is lead out of the room by the two cops. Darren hands Caleb his laptop and says he is going to watch him log in, telling him there'd better not be any funny business. Caleb types in his password, switching his laptop online. Caleb is told to stand at the other end of the room, while Darren and Garrett go through his files.

Garrett and Darren open the folder in question, just as the final files are erased. Shocked, they try to get them back and accuse Caleb of doing something, but Caleb simply says he was hacked and probably has a virus or something, silently knowing his girlfriend came through.

Caleb and Spencer sit down at a table as Spencer tells him about Maya's website and how they got it from Mona. They discuss if it is real or not but Spencer says if it is not real, it's a cruel thing to do to Emily. Caleb says he will help her because no matter what happened, Hanna is still important to him and he wants to crush the Mona Monster.

After school, Caleb goes to Spencer house to help her crack the website. They discuss how to crack into tough passwords and how some people have passwords they can remember. Spencer notices that Caleb has a nice computer and he tells her his mom gave it to him. Caleb and Spencer discuss all the new things he got, like the car, the computer and the sweater.

Caleb talks to Hanna about Maya's website and how if they find clues on there, it could led them to who killed Maya and who this new A could be. Hanna is still furious that he tricked her and doesn't want to go down this road with him again. But Caleb doesn't give up because this New A could be someone close to her, like another Mona.

In In I'm Your Puppet Caleb and Hanna are together and happy, and Caleb is so glad Hanna got his father, Jamie, the job at the church. Hanna seems unenthusiastic and is still worrying about the church money she saw that Jamie had.

Caleb rants to Hanna about how his father is innocent about the church bell, and she reveals that she saw her money donation to the church in Jamie's wallet. Caleb is heartbroken, but believes her.

Jamie comes to Hanna's house, and is confronted by Caleb. Caleb yells at him, and Jamie seems confused, but leaves when Caleb tells him to. They cut off ties, and Caleb is hurt that his father betrayed him again.

Caleb and Hanna are talking at the carnival, and Caleb sadly tells her about how he'd hoped his father would be there for him this time. When Caleb goes to get them coffee, the church bell tolls, and Hanna gets an 'A' text revealing that Jamie was framed. Caleb comes up behind her and looks at her phone, reading the text.

Trivia

 * In the first book, Pretty Little Liars, when Aria's family first returns to Rosewood, Mike exclaims "Hey, there's Caleb's house." This is probably not the same Caleb, but it is a funny coincidence.
 * It was confirmed on Twitter that Nate shot him in "The Lady Killer".
 * Alternate endings to "The Lady Killer" were filmed to avoid the actual reveal from being leaked. In one of the alternate endings, Caleb is part of the A-Team of course this wouldn't have worked because he had been shot.
 * In the books, there is no appearance or mention of Caleb at all.
 * In Season 4 Halloween episode Caleb will be leaving Rosewood for good to go to Ravenswood

Friendships
Caleb doesn't like to let too many people get too close to him, except for Hanna, and Lucas when he still lived with him and was developing a close friendship despite the two boys being so different. We have only seen Caleb interact with a few other people: Hanna, Ms. Marin, Spencer, Aria, Lucas, and a few random students from Rosewood High. Lucas lost a good deal of the money that Caleb has saved up on a black jack card counting scheme that didn't work out. Lucas was desperate and nearly suicidal as he felt that he betrayed Caleb. Caleb has since forgiven Lucas, and Lucas has sold his comic books to make up some of the money. After Caleb works on A's cellphone, he becomes close with Spencer, Emily and Aria.

Bromance
The one exception to Caleb's loner rule is Lucas Gottesman. Lucas cares a lot for Hanna, and understands she could not be happy without Caleb. Lucas is the first to find out what Mona did to Caleb's goodbye letter and proceeds to drive to Arizona and bring Caleb back to Rosewood. He allows Caleb to crash in his room while attending Rosewood High. Caleb, in turn, becomes a loyal friend to Lucas, honoring his commitment to watch "The Goonies" with Lucas instead of hanging out further with Hanna one evening. He also helps Lucas out with his pursuing Danielle. Caleb and Hanna go on a double date with Lucas and Danielle because Lucas is feeling nervous.
