Personality and traits[]
Kain's personality is described as friendly but cold despite the flare he has for a Newtype Empire in the future, he is described by Than as an "Event Horizon", where Light inside him or past him are blocked by impassable Darkness as seen often with a Black Hole making the light nothing more than food for its growing power - he is the Darkest Darkness. He also knows how to enforce his will in the current day, a rare virtue in the world today, it is said that if he wished it he could force the entire Earth Sphere to bow to that will.
He has been described as a Master Strategist and as quoted himself: "is always one step ahead" and "always has a backup plan", he is one of the few people to overwhelm and defeat Chess Masters like Gilbert Durandal during a match, Kain also funds a lot of essential and non-essential research in The Eden particularly Superweapons and other unique bits of Technology. Kain has been revealed to be somewhat Sexist and threatens females including Lacus Clyne, when they get in his way or speak out against him or (as he puts it) "touches what belongs to him", his respect and adoration go to Kira almost fanatically being often mistaken as a one-sided incest love while in reality his romantic and sexual feelings go to Than.
Physical Appearance[]
Ever since Kain became an Ace and a high ranked member of the PLANTs Political and Military Regime he was allowed a personal outfit, Kain’s shoes are White Leather while his pants were black leather except for the crotch area which held white leather instead and a red leather belt was also there for little more than appearance, Kain’s shirt meanwhile looks like leather body armour that cut off at the armpit. Kain also has two upper arm bracelets made of rare Ebony Gold and an necklace with an a Kite shaped Amethyst at the end that Kira had picked out for him when they were together in their childhood, on Kain’s left wrist there was a watch while on Kain’s right lower arm there was instead a Black Leather arm warmer.

- Dea Mortis, juravi
- Carissimam servaturum
- Dea Mortis, servabo
- Ut tempora recte ducan
- Etsi cor in Chao,
- Aut Fortuna bella ferat
- Occurram et obviam ibo.

- Or beautiful Fortune, I shall bear it
- Those shall I meet and face
