Summary
Caliborn, also known by his chat handle, undyingUmbrage, is Calliope's "brother", the other, opposed existence within her body. Even amongst evil cherubs, Caliborn is extremely malicious and is obsessed with death and destruction, which he seeks to spread and enjoy as he pleases for the simple reason that he can and he wants to. As with his sister, his title is one of the rare and powerful master classes; he is the Lord of Time.
After killing his sister and conquering his session, a dead session so impossibly difficult that it was considered unbeatable even for him, he ascended to become a God Tier and killed his denizen, Yaldabaoth. This allowed him to gain access to his God Tier clock, which he destroyed, and its powers he absorbed. Afterwards, he allowed himself to be sealed within Lil' Cal by Dirk with several other entities, fusing with them and becoming Lord English, an indestructible, time-travelling demon who has assured his existence throughout all of space and time, allowing him to go about destroying all of existence.

As a "supreme villain", you can't stop him from coming into being, nor can you make him dead until Paradox Space allows it.

All previous powers on a lower scale than his prime, minus the First Guardians' ones
Attack Potency: At least Mountain level (He constantly beat Gamzee to the point of making him vomit blood and is also considered as one of the strongest Sburb players, being able to win a session considered as "impossible") | At least Multiverse level+ (As a Lord, one of the two master classes, Caliborn should be far above most other God Tiers, comparable to John in Game Over, albeit weaker). | At least Multiverse level+, likely higher (Killed Yaldabaoth, the strongest Denizen. Sealed away John, Rose, Dave, and Jade before casually trouncing Jane, Roxy, Dirk, and Jake. Possessed near-complete control over his powers at this point) | Outerverse level (Was destroying Paradox Space, which is all of existence, including infinite Genesis Frogs and the Horrorterrors that transcend them in the Furthest Ring, and also slaughters said races. Killed Andrew Hussie, the author of MS Paint Adventures. Even in his sealed form, his curse could affect any plane of existence. Is detached from the main reality/narrative, which would put him above characters who transcend the Furthest Ring and its infinite hierarchy) | At least Multiverse level+ (Is way weaker than before, but still strong enough to put a challenge to Dave Strider, Davepeta and John Egbert, as well as killing both Jade Harley and Rose Lalonde)
Speed: At least FTL+ (Should be comparable to Gamzee) | Immeasurable (Should be much faster than most other God Tiers) | Immeasurable (Effortlessly stomped all the Alpha kids) | Irrelevant, Nigh-Omnipresence (Lord English exists in all timelines, even prior to his summoning and his birth; he is already here, and all outcomes are part of his being) | Immeasurable

Striking Strength: Mountain Class | At least Multiversal+ | At least Multiversal+, likely higher | Outerversal | At least Multiversal+

Stamina: Superhuman (Chewed off his own leg and trekked across Earth without showing any signs of exhaustion) | Likely limitless.
Range: Melee range, several meters with his AK-47 | At least Multiversal+ | At least Multiversal+, likely higher | Outerversal
Standard Equipment: His AK-47/Cane, Lil' Seb, Gamzee, Lil' Cal, the Ring of Void, the Ultimate Weapon, The Felt, and a Juju Breaker | The Green Sun Cane and the Golden AK.
Intelligence: Although referred to as "learning-impaired" by both himself and Hussie, Caliborn is noted to be exceptionally cunning, inventive, and brutal, and was able to use The Felt's powers to their fullest extents to win his session, which was so difficult it was seen as "nearly impossible", even for him. Also, he later develops an exceptionally high understanding of the mechanics of time and space, masterminding the assurance of his existence across all of the universes and becoming a temporal inevitability.
Weaknesses: Due to the unusual method behind his predomination, Caliborn is stuck in a perpetual state of prepubescent immaturity. | Lord English is weak to cueball artifacts
Note: For an explanation of Caliborn/Lord English's passives as well as his immortality, see this blog.
