Cain

**Cain** (Hebrew: הֶבֶל ,קַיִן‎ Qayin. Arabic: قابيل، هابيل‎‎ Qābīl) was the first son of var Adam and Eve and the older brother of Abel. After being cursed by God and banished to the Land of Nod for killing his brother, Cain met Lilith who became his wife and they gave birth to monsters known as the accursed. In Nod, they founded the city of Enoch.

In his life, Cain worked on the field, harvesting grain for the family. When God asked the brothers for offerings, he favored Abel's offering more than Cain's, and out of jealousy and anger Cain killed Abel with a wooden club. God put a curse on Cain and gave him a mark on his forehead that meant that if Cain was ever killed, he had to be avvenged. After this, Cain was banished to Nod, which is the territory around Hell now referred to as Outer Reach. Here he met Lilith, the first human woman made by God, but whom had been an unsuccessful creation and banished to Nod before Cain. They fell in love, and together they became the ancestors of the accursed. Later, Cain joined Aziel Stofeles' army and made the accursed fight for the devil in the Great Devil War, but before the last battle even begun, Cain was murdered by Aziel, when the devil used him as a human shield against an arrow fired by the gragorn Blsckhorn Dargue from the gunport above the gate of Hell. The death of Cain brought the curse over the army of Hell, and as such began the Great Devil War truly. The curse lifted when Aziel Stofeles was killed by the human boy, Philip Engel. As soon as Abel's blood touched the ground, the very Earth itself was cursed, so it would not yield any produce if Cain tried to cultivate it, which was the reason he began building cities, especially Enoch, which he founded with Lilith.

After his death, Cain's body was crucified upside down at the entrance to the Field of Envy, but at a later time it was moved to the Valley of Gallows. At one point, the devil Droel, former right hand of Aziel, met Lilith and told her that she could have Cain back through the divine powers of Jesus Christ. However, he betrayed Lilith by swapping the body with Aziel's, which had hung on a stake in Spike Woods, decorating it with the cut-off horns, wings and tail of Philip Engel, which had once been attached to Philip the second time he became a devil. What later happened to Cain's body is unknown.

## Historie

Kain og Abel blev født af Eva noget tid efter hende og Adam blev forvist fra Edens have. Kain og Abel kom til at arbejde med at producere mad for familien; Kain arbejdede på marken mens Abel var hyrde.

### Mordet på Abel og straffen

En dag, da Kain og Abel ofrede til Gud, syntes skaberen bedre om Abels offergave. Senere samme dag dræbte Kain Abel, og udførte derved verdens første mord. Gud forviste Kain, men lettede hans straf, da Kain klagede over, hvor svært det var at bære den. Motivet for Kains forbrydelse var misundelse og vrede, to af de syv dødssynder.

### Død og flugt

Da Kain døde, endte han i Paradis, men han flygtede til Ydergård, hvor han blev stamfar til de uhyrlige forbandede. Senere sluttede Kain sig til djævlen Aziel og svor ham troskab.

##### Den Store Djævlekrig

Med Kains hjælp lykkedes det Aziel at tvinge de forbandede til at adlyde ham og gik så til angreb på Helvede og Lucifer med hans hær af oprørske og forræderiske djævle og de forbandede. Kain mistede livet for anden gang i Den Store Djævlekrig, og hans lig blev hængt op med hovedet nedad på et omvendt kors på Misundelsesmarken, men hans lig blev senere flyttet til Galgedalen.

## Fysisk udseende

Kain er et almindeligt menneske. Det eneste, der er særligt ved ham var, at han kunne blive langt ældre end de fleste mennesker, selv om han dog ikke var udødelig.

Da Filip så Kain første gang, i Ny Helvede, lignede han en ældre mand. Han var høj, senet og mørklødet, og hans hår, som var kruset, var gråt. Hans ansigt var barskt og arret. Efter Gud forbandede Kain, havde han til evig tid haft et mærke i sin pande, over venstre øjenbryn, der var på størrelse med en pegefinger og kridhvid, som om huden der var død. Kains øjne var grå.
