Cain Hathes

Cain Hathes, a distinguished major general of Cairn Mors, played a central role in the kingdom's transformation from the rule of House Telchin to the burgeoning Theocracy under the Church of the Golden Circle. His military expertise and unwavering dedication to the cause made him an instrumental figure in this dramatic shift of power. Under House Telchin's reign, General Hathes was a trusted and respected leader within the monarchy's military ranks, earning the loyalty of many soldiers.

However, as discontent and unrest grew within the kingdom due to rumors of a prophesized demigod, General Hathes seized the opportunity to align the majority of Cairn Mors' standing army with the Theocracy. His influence and strategic brilliance enabled him to bring a substantial portion of the military under the banner of the Church, which would later prove crucial in the overthrow of House Telchin. Cain Hathes is not only remembered as a military leader but also as one of the founding members of the Theocracy of Cairn Mors, a key architect of the new order that would ultimately reshape the political and religious landscape of the country.

### Past

Cain Hathes, born in the humble fishing hamlet of Dalinn in 1363TD to peasants Alcide and Nina Hathes, had a modest upbringing that instilled in him a strong sense of resilience and self-reliance. Growing up in a village vulnerable to the summer raids of the Alliance of Gold, he learned the art of combat from an early age, driven by the need to protect his community. His formidable skills in battle earned him respect in the coastal cities, where he gained recognition as a local hero. Eager for adventure, Cain left his hometown and swiftly ascended the ranks of the Adventurer's Guild, ultimately achieving the prestigious status of a Platinum adventurer. It was during this remarkable journey that he took on a pivotal quest as Queen Mave's bodyguard, forming a close bond with the monarch, and giving rise to swirling rumors about their relationship that captured the imagination of the realm.

After five dedicated years of service as Queen Mave's trusted bodyguard, Cain Hathes received distressing news of a mysterious spell plaguing his hometown. Driven by a deep sense of responsibility to his roots, he took a leave of absence to confront the arcane affliction that had befallen Dalinn. During his absence, the origins of the spell's lifting remained shrouded in mystery, but Cain returned two years later, only to find that Queen Mave had married, and he had started his own family in Dalinn with Clara Hathes, resulting in a growing distance between them.

Following his remarkable contributions in the Tripartite War of the Darkwoods, Cain's reputation soared, and he was appointed as the General of Cairn Mors. However, as the spring of 1395TD arrived, the seismic event of the coup by the Church of the Golden Circle unfolded. Cain, now General Hathes, chose to side with the Church, effectively mobilizing the majority of Cairn Mors' armed forces in their favor. This marked a significant turning point in the kingdom's history, with only a handful of loyalists remaining to defend the monarchy against the upheaval.

After the Coup, Cain remained in charge of the military of the new Theocracy of Cairn Mors, though he brought his wife and child to the capital.
