Caliban, a feral, sullen, misshapen creature in Shakespeare's The Tempest. The son of the sorceress Sycorax, Caliban is the sole inhabitant of his island (excluding the imprisoned Ariel) until Prospero and his infant daughter Miranda are cast ashore.

Does Caliban stay on the island?

Caliban either sails with Prospero to Milan as his servant or gains his freedom and remains on the island in his rightful role as ruler of the island, which Prospero took from him and ruled as his own.

Does Caliban live in caves?

Before Prospero's arrival, Caliban was free to roam the entire island and when Prospero arrived he took him into his own cell and tried to teach him things, including language, but when Caliban tried to violate Miranda, Prospero confined him to a stone cave and a limited area around it.
