kain
This is the story of the entity that is called Kain here, or at least all I could learn from him: No one knows where his roots are, he is said to be the father of Vampire, yet he stated that "he had no more interest in the jihad" and thus doesn't like to be bothered by Vampire groupies if they don't follow him for other reasons. The next thing we know about him is that he must have found this dimension - probably attracted by the strong aura Aragorn was emitting. The first people to worship him were the darkelfs of Aycethera - They called him C'hain and committed uncountable violent murders and blood sacrifices to serve him. They prospered and C'hain 's demons helped to build the tremendous monument that is today's Aycethera. The religion was banished though later on because Aycethera's Summoner, the monarch of the city, considered it a waste of resources. As this religion had lasted a few thousand years Kain didn't really mind, because he hates boredom. He stated that sometimes he misses the good old times, the odor of decay, splattering blood, smashed brains... Therefore he is happy to still have some cults who worship him for the pure delight of blood. I, as librarian, might state that his lust for blood does resemble his vampiric roots - or maybe not. Ever since his ethereal travel through the dimensions, something had tainted him. An edge that had made him more violent in the beginning. Now, he started to study it and it became him and he became it. As there is no better word in this language he called it insanity. This caused him to prank around when he felt like it and most of all, it gave him a unique way to regard the world. As he told me this he started to cackle that loud that I feared for my windows which are made of especially expensive ... Er, never mind that, let's go on: He told me that while scanning worlds dimensions and times, one kind of phenomen found his special attention: Those worlds and their way of thinking which were called Cyberpunk by authors of the 1980's of planet earth's history . That way of thinking - be it the miserable but hardened soul of a street's squatter or the arrogant and heartless mind of a corporate also form a part of Kain's mind now. Kain's body is still that of a noble looking darkelf but heavily cybered up and surged with divine power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From "A portrait of a god : Kain through the time" by Enli Shikeydan after a series of talks he had with Kain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirements for following Kain: 1.)
