Cain Locke is a somewhat bookish youngster studying Thaumaturgy.

Appearance

Cain is average height for a male Midlander and slim, and he doesn't have any features which would catch special attention unless his androgynous looks can be considered such. His attire depends on the time of the day and his current task - loose robes when doing Thaumaturgy business and more practical clothes when going out to relax - but he tends keep his hair in a braided ponytail on all occasions and usually carries a notebook and a fountain pen with him. Despite his otherwise meticulous appearance, he can sometimes be seen with eyebags: a telltale of a night spent reading instead of sleeping.

History

A native of Thanalan, Cain used to live in the Silver Bazaar until the Calamity. His parents were not terribly well-off and earned their living from a combination of fishing and menial labour, and approximately five years ago they disappeared with seemingly no trace. This left Cain with no family, and the pre-teen moved onto Ul'dah and lived on the streets for a few years. Friends were few and the constant struggle for survival exhausting, and eventually Cain found himself at the Arrzaneth Ossuary for both shelter during nights and a sliver of hope that things would take a turn for better - in afterlife if not before.

One day, the Thaumaturges of the Ossuary took interest in Cain and noticed that he had quite impressive aetherial capacities, which prompted them to invite the youngster to study their art and join the Order of Nald'thal. Cain accepted the offer with no second thoughts, deciding to dedicate himself to his studies in order to acquire knowledge and power and to make a place for himself.

Currently

Cain is still continuing his studies at the Ossuary and honing his skills as a Thaumaturge. He has recently begun branching out and travelling outside the boundaries of his old home country, hoping to earn a living and perhaps some respect and friends as well.
