Kain R. Heinlein

== Summary ==
Kain R. Heinlein is the main antagonist and final boss of Garou: Mark of the Wolves. He is the younger brother of Marie Heinlein, late wife of Geese Howard and mother of Rock Howard. An orphan since childhood, Kain grew up in the slums together with Abel Cameron, his best friend and current right-hand-man. The two supported each other through every hardship and decided to take a definitive turn in their lives the day they witnessed a fellow kid being beaten to death by a band of thugs.
Kain and Abel, now known as Grant, started dreaming a world where they could be free. In order to obtain the power required to create such utopia, the two climbed up the ranks of a local criminal organization and eventually managed to grasp full hold of it. Years later, his sister Marie passed away because of a mysterious illness, and soon after Geese met the same fate as a result of his final battle with Terry Bogard. Kain seized the remains of Geese's criminal empire and began working on his masterpiece: the secession of Second South, a large urban area born as an extension to South Town, which Kain planned to turn into his own city-state.
Furthermore, Kain found Geese's will, but its message was indecipherable to all. He theorized that the only one who could solve the enigma was Geese's son, Rock. To lure him out, Kain hosted the fifth "The King of Fighters" tournament, which had been in hiatus since Geese's death ten years prior. As Kain had predicted, Rock surpassed all competition and defeated him in the finals. Kain then convinced him to collaborate by revealing him that his mother was still alive, and the only way to meet her and know the truth was to follow him. Winning his reluctancy, Rock had no other choice than go with Kain. 
Kain is 183 cm tall, weighs 76 kg, his blood type is B, likes reading, apple pies, starry skies and classic music, while he dislikes inertia and isn't very good with affection.Fatal Fury 15th Anniversary Website

He dreams of governing his own city-state and actively works towards this goal, which remains a tangible possibility.
