Browlet

Cain was a strangely quiet browlet in the start. He was highly inquisitive and often watched with alert eyes while his family unit taught him about the world and society he was to be apart of. He grew up knowing that family was the most important thing and that loyalty was rewarded in the end.
When his first aspect (wind) made itself known he did however break windows, knock furniture around and was extremely difficult to catch if he decided to run around and be a hellraiser. This was an uncommon occourance though, as he was uncharacterisically well behaved for a browlet.

Fledgling

Cain's family unit worked with the royal family of the planet they lived on. Some of the members worked as servants, some worked as cooks and very few of them worked as personal knights to the family. As Cain started to grow up and become less of a child he was shoved down the knight's path due to his apptitude. He shadowed the royal guard and mimicked what they did, seeing it more as a game than a job or training at that age.
While he spent more time in the grand castles he began to befriend some of the other young birds that skittered around the halls. It wasn't until his family caught him playing tag with the prince (Percival) and a nobleman's son (Crescenzo) that he even learned who they were. Due to the deep bond he'd formed with the two it was decided that Cain, when he became a true knight, would be the prince's personal guard.

Young Adult

Cain grew into the role of knight naturally. He was never far from Percival's side and was sworn to keep him safe from whatever might attempt to harm him. Despite being sworn to protect Percy he was also extremely loyal to Crescenzo and would protect him as dutifully as the prince.
As the three further cemented their relationships it was unknown to Cain that both of the other birds had eyes for him. He felt close and cared deeply for both, but the idea of romance had never crossed his mind. They were his friends but it was also his job to be below them and protect those higher in the food chain.
It soon became blatant when Crescenzo decided to kiss the knight while they were alone. It had been Cain's first intimate interaction and something that had both overwhelmed him but also made him realize it was something he'd longed for. Things were soon soured when Percival stumbled upon the pair.
Unbeknownst to the knight, Percival had told Crescenzo of his feelings and how he was going to bring them up to Cain when the time was right. A pained and deep rift shot through the trio and Percival, in a whirlwind of emotions, attacked the two on the spot. The fight was one sided, no one dared attack the prince in return, though they did defend themselves from fatal injury.
The aftermath left Crescenzo injured, stripped of his title and banned from returning to the planet and interacting with the royal family. Cain on the other hand had been injured far worse and his horn had been broken by the prince. In immense pain and with great shame he was carted back to his family unit where he was brought back to stablility.
Word spread fast of what had happened. One of the noble families had crumbled while the royal family had also lost their best knight. Cain's fate was sealed and he was told that as soon as his wounds were healed he would have to leave.

Adult | Current

Cain relocated after his injuries healed and for a long time he planet hopped. He did small contracts of protecting ships from pirates while he tried to locate a final place to live and work. His demeanor over the years had hardened him into someone quiet and stern, it took quite a bit of effort for anyone to break past the bird's wall.
The last contract he picked up was to protect an informant-turned-radio host from a few prolific crime families he often gossiped about. His new boss was eccentric, flamboyant and everything he didn't like working with on a regular basis. Still, he paid well and at least gave him a place to live.
The contract that was set to last only a few months ended up spanning into years before naturally dissolving, as Cain and the radio host, Sinatra, ended up falling in love.

Aspects

• Wind: The first aspect that Cain developed after hatching was wind. As he aged he used the wind aspect to be nimble and hard to hit or catch. His opponents had a hard time keeping their eyes on him and if they did get too close there was a good chance they'd merely be blown over by strong gales.
• Blood: The second aspect that Cain learned was blood. Originally he was drawn to the aspect by his large family unit. Several of the birds in the flock were skilled with blood magic and used the gift to heal and help others. Cain, eventually, learned the same skills and attempted to help heal others as well. His fingers and focus lacked the expertise to keep blood in one's body though. Instead like a thread coming undone he often pulled blood from a person's wound before someone else had to step in and fix the problem. Frustrated and disappointed in himself, Cain vowed for a long time to never use the blood aspect.
  In time Cain was pushed back to the grim aspect. Threats needed to be dealt with both for his line of work and in his personal life. After the first time he was badly injured instinct took over his movements and he pulled blood from his own body to create crude, sharp weapons that tore into others. With the new injuries formed on the assailants Cain ripped the blood from their bodies like ribbons and inevitably left them lifeless and drained. In extreme situations he has been witnessed slamming a gale force into an enemy and literally knocking the blood out of them as if they'd hit a wall at high speeds.
  The extremes of the blood aspect makes him sick to his stomach and is something he never likes using on others. He does, however, create weapons made of his own blood rather frequently for fighting. His preferred fighting style and weapon is using wind to be quick on his feet while wielding a blood rapier.

• Cain isn't very talkative, so when he does speak up his words hold a bit more weight.
• He's extremely easy to fluster! Lewd or flirty commentary turns him quite red in the face.
• When he's not guarding Sinatra he's taking care of his children, working out or trying to learn how to cook and do other more "domestic" tasks. He really enjoys learning how to support his family, as all he knew was how to fight prior.
• Cain suffers from very painful migraines and typically has trouble sleeping.
• When Cain thinks he's alone he'll sing to himself.
