While Cain, on the surface, seems like the perfect English Gentleman, he is very much the "black sheep" of the Victorian society. His interest in poisons as well as his ability to solve various crimes sets him apart from the polite citizens. Yet he doesn't care one bit what others think of him - particularly if they oppose him without getting to know him in the first place. There are very few that can get through to Cain or stop him (only temporarily at that) from doing what he wants to do.
Yet, while he can be quite temperamental or even volatile at times, he does care about the feelings of others. Underneath his whimsical facade of not caring about anyone but himself, he actually possesses a kind heart that has been hurt often in the past. If he feels a connection to another, that person will see a new side to the Earl - one that is kind hearted and desperate to protect those who ally themselves with him.
Thanks to finally confronting Alexis and ending a - quite literally - life long feud, Cain is stronger than he used to be. While he will miss Riff and Mary and Uncle Neil - as well as various others, he will finally be able to stand on his own two feet and start a new life. Perhaps in this one he won't be as much of a black sheep? Maybe he will even be able to have normalcy?
Only time will tell.
How Cain Will Adapt to RC: Cain didn't have the best upbringing by any stretch of the imagination. He was abused physically and mentally by his father, Alexis, and that took a toll on him in the form of nightmares and an intense fear of his father (at least until he finally confronted Alexis and poisoned him properly). He faced his death with no regrets, in the decaying arms of his ever-loyal servant, Riff.
He was certain he would travel into the afterlife with his servant; he was certain he could finally have some peace. However, once he finds out that has been denied him, he will be angry. Without Riff and without Mary, Cain will only have himself to rely on - physically and emotionally. But he is a strong young man. He knows how to change himself - both inside and outside - to better fit in his environment. Until he can accept his new existence, he will rely on his craftiness.
Abilities: ~ He has an extensive knowledge of poisons and how to use them (dosages etc.).
~ He is an excellent shot with his pistol.
~ He is damn crafty when it comes to reading other people and tricking them into their own traps.
~ He is very charming (particularly with the opposite sex).
~ And he has all the knowledge one would expect from a Victorian Earl (i.e. he is well-spoken, polite (for the most part), well-read and he can speak multiple languages).
~ On a vaguer note, Cain also has a connection to spirits. He is easily possessed by them.
