Background

This young commander of the Baron Dragoons has always been quick to leap to the aid of his allies.

Justice and honor are of paramount importance to Kain. When his dear friend Cecil came under suspicion of treason, he did not hesitate to defend the troubled knight, even in the face of danger.

Kain's loyalty to his friend would clash with his affection for Rosa, who would become Cecil's beloved. Although he was burdened by guilt over these feelings and a sense of inferiority toward his friend, he kept his inner turmoil hidden from all.

This weakness would be exploited by Golbez, who robbed Kain of his free will and forced him to attack his former comrades. Kain eventually broke free and turned his lance against their true enemy.

His late father was also a dragoon, and he continues to walk that path so as to feel his father's presence.
