"Undead King of Blood and Night" Cain Madhouse (ケイン・マッドハウス , Kein Maddohausu)[1] or Cain Withers (ケイン・ウィザース , Kein Wizāsu)[2] is a Vampire Incarnate and the Lieutenant of Incarnate Soldier Unit during the War. When the war ended he formed the New Patria. He was once a friend of Hank and Elaine.
The difference between him and other Incarnates is that he voluntarily became an Incarnate in order to follow Elaine and seek a free life. He has a different view than Hank and others as to why all Incarnates lose their humanity.
Appearance[]
He is a tall man with long dark hair. He wears a dark tail coat, underneath a patterned, single-breasted waistcoat or vest with a wing-collared shirt, a scarf and dark trousers and boots.
Personality[]
Cain was a manipulative man who often spoke in ways that led people to believe that he should be viewed as a victim of his circumstances, which brought him many allies. His true nature is much stronger than that of the villain, and he even behaves extremely crazy towards those he claims to be friends and has known for many years. For example, He shown that he's more than happy to turn on his own allies if they annoy him,they've outlived their use to him, regardless of whether they fully support his goals, and his frequent smile while killing shows his true depth.
Cain is also frequently bored, even quickly becoming bored by his own actions, and his boredom caused him to develop quite a nihilistic worldview, with him even saying at the end of vol.1 that "a world as boring as this does not have any point in existing".. His nihilism is also shown in his speech to Hank when he tries to take away the things that bind him, saying that no one has the right to judge the humanity or morality of others and that he believes morality is a meaningless psychology Construct, anything that is human to begin with, a living being can never truly lose its humanity because it is biologically human.In Volume 6, his tendency toward boredom is revealed as the primary motivation for his actions, as he reveals to his father (after having an entire town full of innocent people murdered)that everything he does is for his own amusement.
In the fourth volume, it is made abundantly clear by his brother Claude that before becoming an incarnate, Cain had been a far more kind and "gentle" individual, and Claude is unable to understand how his brother's mind became so utterly twisted and cruel. Nonetheless, Cain's father in the sixth volume seems to believe that Cain had always been utterly heartless, referring to him as The Devil when talking about him to his advisers.
Abilities[]
Although his powers are modeled after Vampire, not much is known about Cain's power. When Hank Henriette shoots Cain in the face, he has shown to be able to heal his wound by regenerating his face. According to Elizabeth Weezer, even among Incarnates he's a "special one".[3] When Cain attacks Bold Creek, it appears Cain is to able to control the blood within people.[4] His multiple forms are many shadows cast on the plain by his metaphysical existence.[5]
History[]
Past[]
Cain was the first son of Patria's President Richard Withers , Claude Withers' s half-elder brother. In the past, when Cain was born in a noble family, he received a good education and the love of his mother, but he was very dissatisfied with the arrangements his father gave him. In addition, Cain knew that if he was even slightly dissatisfied, he would be reprimanded by his father in front of everyone and suffered deeply. Later, Cain became a good friend with Hank Henriette and taught him many knowledge. Beside, he were taught from Hank a lot of game of he did't know and also developed a love for Elaine Bluelake. When Cain face his mother was killed in an attack by southern troops while visiting a refugee camp in a BlackLake city in South army, Therefore, he regarded Hank as his comfort object.
The process of voluntarily becoming an Incarnate[]
When Cain became an adult, he decided to help his father and arranged for Hank, who decided to become a soldier, to enter the military academy in North. At the same time, Elaine were continued to study the Somnium elements as an agent of the Church and created "Incarnate" from École to make war were to be ended. On the New Resource Research Assistant Banquet, Cain learned the truth that his father deliberately sacrificed his mother in order to become president and married the daughter of The Roses family. Therefore, he began to hate his father. In addition, Cain cared about and assisted the people while inquiring about Elaine's whereabouts. However, he learned that his father secretly arranged for him to serve as Gracia's special envoy while preparing to negotiate with the Old World, Gracia, and deliberately did not send reinforcements when a city called Greenspring was captured by the South, in exchange for the maximum effect that the South could not capture Port Gulf. Therefore, Cain's desire for freedom is increasing day by day, and he is also worried about the safety of Hank. Later, Cain was discovering reports that Elaine had created Incarnate in École, he decided to become an Incarnates and assisted her with Hank, who also became an Incarnates. Cain knew his father refused to allow his son to become Incarnates, so he dropped his last name and joined the army with the name "Madhouse" instead.
Later, Cain becomes close to Hank and Elaine. The North used the Incarnate created by Elaine to establish the Incarnate force, which turned the tide of the Northern Army's war. During this period, Hank served as the leader of the Incarnate Force, while Cain became the deputy leader of his force, and Elaine served as the doctor for the Incarnate soldiers trying to find solutions to emergency situations, and Hank taught their comrades in the army how to learn to stay human, rational and how to survive. He asked their comrades to make an oath "those whose hearts have been corrupted will be slain by the hands of their allies." This is to prevent someone from deliberately monopolizing the power of Incarnate and preventing their comrades from suddenly starting to attack humans. Although many Incarnates helped the North defeat the South, many Incarnates who could not be annihilated were still killed on the battlefield in the process.
Cain discovered among the comrades who came into contact with them that many of them had experienced lives that he could not imagine, and gradually learned that they had inner fragility and many complex hearts and emotions. Cain believed that even though Incarnate was deeply abused, they still survived on the battlefield and fighting is the most beautiful color and sense of existence. It's just that Elaine knew that Incarnate was taboo and should not be created, but she continued to keep the manufacturing technology secret, and even deliberately destroyed École's research and development of Incarnate-related technology and everything during the war. At that time, Cain and Hank knew what Elaine was doing but completely ignored one thing that was more important than the creation of Incarnate, which was to persuade Elaine to develop an antidote that would allow humans who became Incarnate to turn back into humans. They also did not expect that their ideas about Incarnate would gradually begin to change after the war, and that their friendship would soon break down.
The process of betraying best friend and transforming into villain[]
When the war came to an end, Cain watched Hank arranging the surviving Incarnate members on the final battlefield. He was proud that Hank could lead the troops to victory. Cain knew that Hank was very serious in his actions, but He is sometimes so focused on what is happening in front of him during the process that he barely cares about what happens next. Cain told Hank that Elaine wanted to talk to him outside the military camp and asked Hank to go out and talk to Elaine. When Elaine explains to Hank that the North and the South have privately negotiated a solution that will unite the divided country into one. She also added that after the war ends, they will be faced with a situation where they have nowhere to go. Before Elaine shoots Hank, she says that one day they will lose their humanity and will pose a threat to mankind. She will execute all Incarnates who still have humanity to prevent the situation from getting serious.
When Elaine apologized to Hank shortly after shooting him and decided to commit suicide, she handed Cain some Godkiller bullets and a pistol who appeared behind her and convinced him to join her in executing all the Incarnate members, planning to everything, people and things related to Incarnate are wiped from the world. At first, when Hank was about to fall into coma, he thought Cain would assist Elaine, but Cain suddenly shot Elaine and said "You two are the only ones who will die !" and soon released all Incarnate' s comrades and took Elaine's corpse away. Hank was found and treated at a clinic hospital in the village. When he woke up and learned that the war was over and that Cain had released many Incarnates who had turned into "beasts" and disappeared with Elaine's body. Hank feels sad and angry when he thinks about Cain's treatment of Elaine. He decided to fulfill his oath to their troops and began a crusade against Cain and the many Incarnates who had turned into "beasts".[6]
The sad truth about killing Elaine[]
In fact, Cain knew Elaine very well, because he regarded Elaine as the light of redemption that could save and guide himself and his comrades. He decided that he would do what he longed for and wanted in a place where his father had no control. Help Hank, Elaine and their comrades during the incident.
When Cain was having a private conversation with Elaine, he learned that Patria was about to end the war and usher in peace. However, Elaine explained to Cain that she found that Incarnate would lose its humanity and heart one day, even if it was Cain and Hank are no exception. Although Cain and Elaine explained that although they will inevitably make mistakes, they can still save everything as long as they can restrain each other and correct their mistakes before the situation becomes serious. Elaine told Cain whether he should have noticed that the changes and powers of some of their companions were gradually increasing beyond their control. She could not imagine the fear that Incarnate 's gradual increase in power, changing appearance, and final form would bring to humans. In the future, Cain found some godkiller bullets on Elaine's table, and then he understood Elaine's thoughts.
Elaine told Cain that because she wanted Hank to be with her, she specifically sold her soul to the devil and suffered a cursed fate to create Incarnate while implicating countless people. Elaine added that the way to justice is They are no longer on the Incarnate side, so they must put an end to all this (meaning to execute all Incarnates immediately while they still have humanity). Elaine knew she couldn't end things on her own and had to find Cain to cooperate with her. Cain understood that the comrades in their army all wanted to live. Even though he could not accept the cruel fact that Elaine wanted to kill Hank and many comrades who wanted to survive, he could not refute Elaine's wishes, so Cain killed Elaine. His motivation stems from his determination that he cannot accept that Elaine wants to kill Hank and many comrades who want to survive. The more important reason is that the only Elaine he knows who can save him does not exist in the world.
Recruit comrades, Trying to copy Elaine's Incarnates technology[]
After the war, Cain brought Elaine's corpse to the École. At that time, almost all of École's facilities and research were destroyed by Elaine. Cain felt ironic that Elaine destroyed École's facilities and research used to create Incarnates but failed to deal with the aftermath. When Cain attempts to use his Incarnate powers to dig out Elaine's creates the Incarnate secret. However, when Cain discovered that Elaine was pregnant with an unknown child, he understood why Elaine wanted to destroy École's facilities and research, and why she decided to let Incarnates disappear from the world.
Later, Cain placed Elaine's naked corpse in the École's stabilization water tanks to create her posthumous child Miglieglia. When Cain saw the comatose Incarnate named Spector Twilight, he discovered Spector's wish and told him As long as he saves his life, Cain tells Spector that if someone returns to École, he will show him everything he knows and saw and let he fulfill his wish. After that, Cain hid the tank with Elaine's corpse in his secret base on BlackLake, and gradually gathered his Incarnate companions to follow him, trying to create a world where Incarnate could live freely without discrimination and persecution by humans. (Including Elizabeth Weezer , an Arachne incarnate who followed and assisted Cain) Later, Cain learned that Hank was still alive and he walking with a mysterious girl, he lamented that Hank was still being teased and favored by fate.[7]
Planning the destruction of Whitechurch[]
When Cain heard about a Not long after the Incarnates was known to be killing people around the town of Whitechurch , he showed up in Whitechurch and Miglieglia was stopped by two prostitutes as they entered the town, who asked Cain if he wanted to have some fun. Cain smirked as he hugged one of the prostitutes and used his strength to manipulate her, causing the prostitute to turn around and start biting the other prostitute's neck. Cain smiled, then grew tired of the sight, declaring that a world with such a "dull night" made the world's existence completely meaningless. As he walked away, he said that it was a dreary night and asked Miglieglia's thoughts, to which she agrees.[1]
Upon entering the town's church with Miglieglia, he discovered that the murderer who caused the murders in the White Church was one of his comrades, Christopher Keynes . At that time, Chris became an Incarnates. Cain knew that Chris mentioned that he would not join him until he protected justice in the town. Cain calls Chris cold because he knows that's who Chris is. Cain reveals to Chris that they have a common "enemy". He handed him a Godkiller bullets. As Cain walks away, he tells him that if justice is done in the world, then they will meet again.[8] After Chris was shot through the head with a shotgun by Schaal (who are follow Hank and help him ) and was killed by Hank, Cain and Miglieglia entered the church in the town. In front of Schaal and Hank, Cain said their Incarnates are strong that they can achieve anything that humans cannot do, but there will also be consequences that the weak will be crushed by this power. Cain was sarcastic about Hank still wearing the uniform, which aroused Hank's anger. Cain was shot in the eye by Hank but remained unharmed. Arachne later revealed that she had been hiding behind Schaal and Hank, believing Cain to be "a very specific type of incarnation", calling him the "King of the Immortal" Blood and Night, when Elizabeth captured Schaal . Cain tells Hank not to always prioritize what's in front of him, but to think about what's around him behind him. Miglieglia dropped an invitation in front of Hank, indicating that he was here to extend the invitation. Mentioning that the location was inside, he said he would wait for him tomorrow night. Cain later invited Hank to a formal party, and before leaving, he told Hank that he would let Schaal go if he came over.[9]
At Cain's mansion, Arachne ruins Schaal's clothes and dresses her in a slightly revealing but still formal dress for the party. At the next night at a gala, Hank and his assistant Liza Runecastle came to the gala hoping to know Cain's plan. A wealthy guest asks Hank if he is another one of Cain's beneficiaries, only to be retorted, and it just so happens that Schaal shows up at the party to put Hank and Lisa at ease. Cain appeared on the dais of the ballroom and gave a speech thanking his beneficiaries for coming and gave a speech about life after the war, a speech detailing the economic impact on them and the Civil War and how it had hindered them all, He stated that they felt they should not sign a peace treaty and that the morally right thing to do was to use the Incarnates to end the war by wiping out all rebels, claiming that their former military commanders were just cowards who were afraid of the Incarnate 's power. He stated that they hope to continue this war to regain their glory and everything.
Until Cain reveals that their preparations are complete and say "And now, thanks to everyone's support, preparations are complete", releasing mist into the ballroom, which rises to reveal that the room is filled with Incarnates. Cain declares that after funding his campaign, he no longer needs the beneficiary's sponsorship, allowing the Incarnates to massacre the guests and telling Hank to reveal that they did so of their own free will. Although Hank questions Cain about abandoning the oath they swore in their troop, Cain states that he knows that Elaine was talk about how "all Incarnates eventually lose their humanity" before her died and that she hoped that all Incarnates would disappear with the war. Cain explains to Hank the reason why they will lose their humanity and expresses himself and that he wants to continue the unfinished war so that the war can end the way it should.
When Cain knew that Hank's character would decisively refuse his solicitation, he ordered Arachne to manipulate the threads on Schaal's dress and pull her in front of him. Before Hank and Liza could react, Schaal was pulled onto the stage by Arachne. Cain pulled a revolver from his coat and said he will "destroy" the "chain" that "bonds" of Hank. As Hank was stopped by an Ogre Incarnate as he ran towards the stage, Cain shot Schaal make Hank was got mad and berserk. Cain saw and ask Hank to release his "true nature" while tearing off the "The chain of Gleipnir" that had entangled him. Hank transformed into a giant, glowing wolf is unable to be contained in Cain's mansion and destroyed an entire roof enough to crush Incarnate Karkinos beneath its feet, and he destroyed the first urban area of Whitechurch . Cain was excited that he saw Hank's true form and told everyone, "Look, this is Hank! Lord of the Beasts (The King of the Beasts )! This is not something that all the humans in the world can control and tame."[10]
Creative a New Patria[]
After the happened for the Whitechurch Incident, Schaal survived the shooting because she was wearing a gown made of Arachne's threads, and because the webbing Arachne used to make her skirt was very durable. While Hank's disappearance was searched by the military and the Incarnate Extermination Unit Coup de Grace , Cain's influence grew significantly and he was seen giving speeches to hundreds of former Confederate troops and disgruntled former civilians in an attempt to control the South.[11] In just a few months, Cain almost controlled almost the entire "Patria" continent. Cain entered a room with a mysterious crystal and looked at the large container that held Elaine's naked corpse and had a stabilization water tanks wound on her right chest side . Cain told Elaine that the new world she wanted try to destroy will become reality.[12]
From his new temporary base at Bold Creek Fortress, Cain began sending incarnations of psychopathic characters, such as Miles Byron, to wipe out the entire Northern army. In one of these attacks, he sent Miles to attack his brother Claude's Unit Coup in a duel with Hank, who was temporarily cooperating with his army, but the attack was nothing more than a diversion. Cain walked straight into Martin Wall's camp with a smile on his face as he developed the ability through self-experimentation to make human bodies explode with gestures. Only Liza and Schaal evaded Cain's sight and went to the front line where Claude and Wall were fighting. They announced his presence to Wall by blowing up four of Wall's soldiers, which also represented Wall's military tactics. Disgust then used his powers to blow out Walll's throat destroying a vial of anti-Incarnate ( Alphahard) serum and looking at his brother Cloud with murderous eyes. At this time, Hank threw a spear at Cain and told Cloud to support the Incarnates Extermination Force so that he could end things with Cain.
Despite this, Claude still pointed his pistol at Cain, and Cain found it ironic that Claude was unable to do anything to him. He felt that Claude was like a puppet to be played by their father. Hank convinces Cloud to leave Cain and face Cain with his spear drawn. Cain asked Hank whether Miles's end was a dignified one or an extremely cruel one. But when Hank questions why Cain only sent an avatar to face him, Hank soon realizes that Cain only sent the Centaur as a diversion so that he could attack the townspeople of Bold Creek .Cain asks Hank how he's been since he unleashed his true power in Whitechurch and became the Beast King, and asks if he's discovered the joy of such power. In anger, Hank continues to attack Cain, being the only one skilled enough to match Cain's speed and dodge his supernatural attacks. When Hank says that he is stronger than Cain, Cain grabs Hank's hand and hurts him, and explains that their strength difference has been many years, and Cain starts licking Hank's blood saying that he knows his enemy so well Destined to be overconfident, impatient, confused and endlessly hateful, his eyes are full of anger and bloodthirsty, which is a truly complex and mellow goodwill. Cain disappeared in a puff of smoke as Hank lunged at him with his fists. He tells Hank that he hopes they survive to see the age of the gods, and explains that they will meet on a new battlefield. Meanwhile, Claude and the rest of his company fled to protect the town, only to discover that Migileglia, who had been accompanying Cain, used her powers to turn all of the town's residents into mindless, cannibalistic zombies. monster, prompting Claude's men to get rid of all the residents of the town.
