Alias: Kairos. Age: 28. Sexuality: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Height: 195 cm. Weight: 99 kg. Hair: Multi-Colored [Black & White] Eyes: Blue Skin & Scars: Slightly tanned skin.

There's also an intersecting scar that travels from one ear to the other, going across his nose, forming a cross on his face.
Details
Caine is tall and strikes an imposing visage. Very rarely is he seen out of his mask, much less his uniform. As such, he typically comes across as something almost inhuman a majority of the time. The most prominent thing about him is his body language - it's how he conveys most of 'emotions' as he typically prefers silence. Outside of his suit, he has a body befitting the nature of his work. He's lean and toned, with well-defined muscles.
The most consistent thing any and everyone who has ever encountered Caine has to mention is his presence. As an individual, he is an aberration. To many, he comes across as a soulless husk - like a machine or zombie - but then he comes to life when he begins to work. But he never diverges; his mask never cracks. Calm, deadly, precised and focused -- all apt descriptors people have used when he was involved. He betrays no emotion; his wit is usually dry, if it ever even decides to rear its head. Mentally, he is a bulwark -- unbreakable, impenetrable. Because anything less would be absolutely unacceptable. He marches, moves and acts according to his own parameters and guidelines. He does what he does according to his own time clock.
As such, he typically doesn't work well with others.
Caine has no love for his fellow Operatives. Nor does he have any hatred or dislike for them. He shares no camaraderie with them, nor any true solidarity. They may share the same title -- they may do the same work -- but he rejects them. Not out of hatred, spite or even arrogance - he simply sees no point in participating in what he considers to be meaningless frivolities. That makes up a large majority of his personality, however. 'Fun', 'Joy', 'Love', 'Happiness', 'Anger', 'Rage', 'Revenge', 'Hate' -- all concepts he fundamentally understands, but all things that he has very little interest in.
After all -- he tried being human.
He found it to be quite unpleasant.
History
No one is born bad.
No one is born evil.
Fallacious statements.
When he was a boy, he was told a story. The story of a man who has hated by a god before he was even born. He always wondered why? Why was the unborn child hated, yet his unborn brother loved? The story would always proceed the same -- the hated child would be cheated, robbed and derided, while the other brother would enjoy prosperity from his deceit and willingness to manipulate his brother. The hated child would do as he was told, hoping for things to work out for himself, yet it never did. It always went wrong. Misfortune followed him because, before he was born, a god hated him.
How sad.
How miserable.
He wasn't always the person he was. He wasn't always the silent Operator he became known as. Once upon a time, he was but a boy with dreams and aspirations. Once upon a time, he was a man with ambition and love in his heart. Once upon a time, he was a lover and father to be.
Once upon a time.
But those times were gone. Dead and buried like the people they were associated with. Sometimes, he would think about the story. The story of the hated child. He always disregarded it, however. After all, he couldn't rate highly enough to earn the ire of a deity. He couldn't have the pleasure of being so special. After all, the life of Jerikko Delcroix had been going well. But maybe that was just an act of cruelty.
None of that mattered, however. It was nothing Caine Carreux thought about. Caine Carreux had been much like Jerikko Delcroix. A family man. A man of ambition, dreams and hope. A man of love. A kind, generous man. But also a dangerous man. An unknown man who could influence certain people through the bonds he had with them -- a man who, if his heart was to change, could become dangerous.
So he was neutralized.
So simple.
So clean.
Kairos couldn't explain why he took on the man's name as his own. Perhaps because he had grown tired of the name 'Kairos' -- it certainly made specific things difficult. He had no intention of utilizing the name of the man he once was --Jerikko Delcroix was at rest and had found peace from his agony and misery. Maybe, for once, 'Kairos' felt solidarity with Caine Carreux. A good man who had been dealt a bad hand. So it felt right that, if he was to masquerade as anyone when in public, it would be as him.
Certainly no one would object.
There was no one to object.
A full neutralization had been in order. Caine and his family were gone -- scrubbed clean from the annals of history with their blood as the water and his sword the cloth.
Caine exists only to serve The Spire. The Spire gives him a target or objective and he executes with extreme prejudice. Quick, clean, efficient. He's a deadly shadow. No emotions, amoral. He does what he does without question, pleasure, joy or remorse. He's found purpose in what he does, his conscience thoroughly suppressed, and he acts without hesitation.
A crude longsword, bordering on greatsword, with a noticeably partitioned handle. Over the years, it has become chipped and scuffed, but its cutting ability has remained the same. Its a worn blade that has seen years of service and use, even before falling into the hands of Caine. While he is certain that - once upon a time - it had a name, he has no interest in naming the weapon. Because it's just a weapon.
Ability
It cuts. It stabs. It kills.
It does everything that Caine could hope or want it to do; nothing more, nothing less. Its gimmick is quite simple; the sword is capable of splitting into two. By pulling the handles apart, he's able to split the weapon into two, giving him two longswords that - while not as weighty and crushing, allow for him to attack faster and more relentlessly. Which is something that he appreciates.
Star Rank: 1. Description: Over the years, Caine has developed into an agile fighter. While some dominate with pure strength or win battles of attrition, he typically relies on his agility and reflexes to quickly neutralize opposition.As an Operator, Caine has adopted the callsign/codename of Kairos due to his nature. He seems to be quite passive -- letting others attack and typically responding with blocks, parries and dodges. Because he's observant. Then, in but a moment - a single moment - he can switch gears and rapidly become the aggressor. Striking and exploiting any and all opening or advantages his opponent may have left open or he discerned; his key goal being to neutralize quickly, cleanly and efficiently. Because a singular moment is all he truly needs.

Maintenance
Star Rank: 1 Description: Caine's suit and mask is something he's made and built over the years. As such, he's learned how to take care of both. Handy with a needle and thread, he can patch up any damage done to his suit with relative ease due to his familiarity with it, though doing patchwork on other clothes and materials may be difficult. As for his mask, its been cracked and broken several times, but he has the correct tools to fix it when it's damaged. In general, he's relatively good at 'fixing' things, though he hasn't really branched out beyond taking care of his mask and suit.

The Spire congratulates one of its most promising assets, even if we know and appreciate that this letter will hold no meaning to you. May your work remain as impeccable as always. A moment is all it takes, but always remember that the same holds true to our enemies.
