Often the near invisible GM is flying high overhead and you can't see him, even before you attempt to spawn him. Use a targeting bind and keep flying high to search for him as he is very very hard to spot.

Another thing to look out for when scouting for Caleb is several normal ghosts streaking off through the night up high.. put them on auto follow and they usually will take you streight to Caleb.
We're talking zone ceiling high. Not that bright, but that's the way it is. Spiral upward around Thorn Tree isle.

Use a lot of +Perception, it helps.

Sometimes Caleb may be floating around from a previous attempt to spawn him. Use a keybind or tray button with "Targetcustomnext caleb" and have someone with some stealth and flight abilities fly around Thorn Island constantly using the keybind to see if they get a target lock on Caleb. Have some +Perception on hand as that will help since you need to get close to Caleb for him to be visible, also look for groups of the spectral demons flying in the air as they likely are with Caleb. |

Generally I target lock on Caleb, and set to auto follow while stealthed and alert the team to target through me to start off the battle.
tried it and could not spawn him on 2 different servers.
Used a tray of yellows

Could the winter event be over-riding that?

It's possible for the Halloween Event to mess up Caleb's trigger because of "Eternal Night", but the Winter Event has no such restriction, and I've personally taken him out again recently (during this Winter Event).|

In most cases, Caleb is actually out there somewhere. He's not always "zone-high" as mentioned above. The most common flight path I've seen is circling Thorn Isle, but a bit of distance away from it.. not necessarily super high, but as high as the topography of the island itself. Sometimes I've even found him sitting on the beach, or near the waterfall on Primeva not even moving, so there are apparently multiple spawn locations and routes that he takes. With his stealth and such a large area to search, it's no surprise that people have trouble finding him.
A few people saying that they've had multiple attempts and could not find him, does not mean it's broken. But then again, a handful of us saying that we can find him almost all the time doesn't mean that it always works either. That said, the only suggestions I can make is to keep trying, and if you are doing it on Freedom, I'd be more than happy to come help out.
Good Luck!

Not likely. The Halloween Event, yes.

But doesn't he despawn at dawn?
Caleb is hatched from the egg of a serpent, which is laid by a rooster, and then hatched by a toad, but only during the days where the star Sirius is in the night sky.
...
Wait, maybe that's a cockatrice? Maybe it was because Zeus had a terrible headache, and had his head split open. Caleb immediately sprung forth from Zeus' head...
Nope, that's Athena.
Seriously though, Caleb should despawn during the day, but I've defeated him during the change over, so it's not immediately.

I find your lack of signature disturbing.
