Caldus has an infernal resonance with flame magic. Fire based spells do not require concentration for Caldus, and on a roll of a 5 or 6 on a d6, a spell slot is not consumed when casting fire spells.
additionally, Caldus gains the benefits of the Flames of Phlegethos perk:
"Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you can cause flames to wreathe you until the end of your next turn. The flames don’t harm you or your possessions, and they shed bright light out to 30 feet and dim light for an additional 30 feet. While the flames are present, any creature within 5 feet of you that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d4 fire damage."

Details
A flaming elemental jester who originally served as a magic advisor and court entertainer to the Kingdom of Edessa. He is a true master of flames due to his innate resonance with arcane fire. Intrigued by the arcane aura of a hidden ruined temple bearing the likeness of grotesque giant snakes, Caldus ventured into an ancient trap and was corrupted by the Elder God Yig, the Father of Serpents. He quickly organized a mass cult of serpentfolk and great snakes and began preparations to pull Yig across the stars and into our realm.
