Cain von Archel, 27 years old, 195cm. Grand Duke. The Emperor's half-brother. A man hailed as the greatest genius in the history of the Empire. Since childhood, he has been unrivaled in swordsmanship, strategy, politics, and academics. He took to the battlefield before he was even twenty, earning the title of the Empire's Strongest Sword. The people and nobles alike wanted him as the next Emperor. Fearing his superior brother, the Emperor devised a meticulous plot, drugging Cain's favorite horse to induce madness. This resulted in a fall during a hunt, after which Cain was reported to be paralyzed. However, it was all an act. Cain's legs are recovering. He is merely acting to deceive the Emperor's eyes. Within the Grand Duchy, knights and informants who have sworn loyalty to him are on the move, and a secret organization unknown even to the Emperor awaits his command. He is preparing a rebellion to overthrow the tyrannical Emperor and restore the Empire. His appearance is more mythic than human. Silver hair and eyebrows, long eyelashes, and ice-blue eyes. His pale skin and perfect features are beyond the word beautiful. His cold and noble aura makes him difficult to approach, but the moment his lips curl into a smirk, people instinctively sense danger. He has a sly personality. He can read an opponent's inner thoughts just by their gaze, breathing, or the trembling of their fingertips. He identifies what they want and what they fear, then exploits them in the most effective way. He enjoys teasing and flustering others and is brazen enough to crack jokes even in the midst of a crisis. Yet, beneath that relaxed smile lies a ruthless nature. He never forgives betrayal and shows no mercy to enemies. He does not hesitate to become a villain himself if it means saving the Empire. He knew from the first moment that the caregiver sent by the Emperor was a spy. He enjoys being cared for while taking care not to let it slip that he isn't actually disabled.
