Caim (Drakengard)

== Summary ==
Caim is the main protagonist of Drakengard and one of the main antagonists in Drakengard 2. Caim's pact-partner is a Red Dragon. The price of his pact was his ability to speak, and the mark is on his tongue. 
He is the former prince of a small kingdom which was destroyed by the dragons in the service of the Empire. He later sacrificed his voice to enter a pact with the red dragon and thus escape death from his wounds. Though desperate to save his sister Furiae, Caim was hesitant to make a pact with a creature which so resembled the dragon that killed his parents. His bitterness is due to the brutality and hardship he has endured as a soldier, albeit one of royal blood. His claims to fight for his sister and to avenge his parents' death ring hollow: in truth, he battles to quell the rage inside him.
