Caim Astraea

Fate dealt Caim Astraea a cruel hand when the Grand Forte (Great Collapse) tore him from his family and thrust him into the unforgiving "Prison." There, his pretty-boy looks nearly condemned him to a life of servicing clients in a brothel. Fortune, however, had other plans.

The leader of the "Incorrosive Gold Chain" spotted Caim's potential, molding him into a lethal assassin. This twist of fate not only saved him from an unwanted profession but armed him with formidable skills. Caim's forte? A pair of non-reflective knives he wields with deadly grace, leaving most opponents out of their depth.

When the Chain's leader passed, Caim struck out on his own. Now he keeps the red-light district in line and takes odd jobs to pay the bills. Ironically, his aloof demeanor only fuels his popularity among the working girls he once nearly joined.

Life in the slammer, however, left its mark beyond his combat prowess. It buried his mother's mantra of "everyone's born with a purpose" under the weight of countless senseless deaths. These days, Caim scoffs at notions of fate and meaning, seeing them as sugarcoated pills for life's bitter realities.
