## Portrayal

### English Voice

Trina Nishimura

Cain von Silford (カイン・フォン・シルフォード, **Kain fon shirufōdo**?) is the third son of Silford family who has been bestowed with the blessings of seven pillar gods. He was given two missions: develop the world he reincarnated in and defeat his arch nemesis Aaron. He is the reincarnation of Kazuya Shiina.

## Appearance

Cain from childhood is regarded as cute and good-looking, having silver hair with blue mesh and blue berry eyes. He grow more handsome and taller in his adult form when trained in Divine Realm, developing a slender yet firm build.

## Personality

Since his post-reincarnation childhood, Cain is obsessed with fantasy things such as swordsmanship and magic. He is very interested in the deeper levels of magic and loves to fight strong monsters. He is kind and humble, respecting everyone regardless of their position.

He is a carefree individual, taking things at his own pace, resulting in his lack of common sense as shown in doing out-of-the-norm acts and the lack of self-awareness of his actions and their consequences. He is an optimistic and heroic young man who'll put someone's welfare above his own. Through blessed of all kinds of powers from the seven gods, he doesn't get cocky or intend to abuse it, and has claimed he only want to lead a fun adventurous life rather than getting involved with politics or acquiring political power. He is quite confident in his skills, knowledge and experiences. He is calm and collected in various situations, such as when he was about to face an adventurer whose power he is not aware of. He's a good-natured person, but he is disgusted by people who have high opinions of themselves.

He is shown to get along well with the girls, unintentionally flirting make them blushed in embarrassment. Thus, he is often called a natural womanizer. He is seemed to be on good term with his older sister, Reine von Silford and Palma. Around his fiancées like Telestia as well as Silk, he cannot deal with their teasing tactics.

Cain is vocally exasperated by all the nobility customs and traditions due to his growing up in a country that didn't really have most of those customs anymore; finding most ridiculous and a waste of time. The king and his father do start backing off about these things after learning he was a commoner in his past life like Yuuya, and that he is an Apostle. Despite having loved ones, Cain still has moments of "man my life sucks"; not only is he stuck as a noble, but he has to defeat the evil god Aaron too. He also does not care to enforce les majeste.

## Background

In his previous life, Shiina Kazuya, who was killed by a stranger when he tried to protect his childhood friend's little sister. After the incident he was reincarnated into a world of sword and magic as Cain von Silford, the third son of Margrave Garm von Silford Gracia who governs the Gracia territory of the Esfort Kingdom.

Cain grew up being surrounded by gods that don't know what self-restraint is, the upper stratum of royalty, and manipulative girls. This is a crazy journey of a slightly two-faced, clumsy young man who, bestowed ridiculous divine power by gods, overcomes obstacles that stands in his way while hiding his unbelievable status.

At the age of 10 he officially became an adventurer and started at the Royal Academy. Not long after joining the academy the gods sent him to meet someone important who had a cabin in the forest of monsters. After finally reaching the cabin and meeting the person he discovered that the man he met wasYuuya Terra Hirasawa Esfort the first king of the Esfort Kingdom. He was told by Yuuya that before he became the ruler of Esfort he had been originally summoned as a hero in order to defeat the evil fallen god Aaron. As the seal placed on Aaron was soon to be broken the gods tasked Yuuya to train help train Cain so Cain could fight and defeat Aaron. For 5 years Cain trained in Yuuya's Divine Realm Fabrinil until he eventually had to return. Due to having aged 5 years due to time in Fabrinil working differently than his own world Yuuya returned Cain's appearance from a 15 year old back into a 10 year old in order to not alarm people.

Not long after Cain's start at the Royal Academy and his time in Fabrinil the current Saint of Marineford, Hinata Lyra Marineford decided for Esfort to be the first place for her to visit on her first trip out of the Holy Country of Marineford. During this time Cain was to be her bodyguard. Cain ended up saving Hinata's life on many occasions and eventually stopped the plot to take her life. Around the time she left Esfort, Hinata having received an oracle, declared that she would be Cain's wife as well.

Three years later Cain, now 13, is told that the Imperial Princess of Baisas, Liltana von Baisas is coming to Esfort to learn at the Royal Academy and Telestia, Silk and he are asked to keep an eye on her so nothing bad happens. It is later discovered that Cain and Liltana had met once when they were younger.

When Cain returns from the Republic of Ilstin, he informs the king of the events the transpired while they were there. It is during this meeting that Corzino ingests a fragment of Aaron's seal and becomes Aaron's apostle. Noticing the amount of power coming from Corzino's mansion Cain, with the kings permission, head towards Corzino's position to confront the owner of the power. Here he finds Corzino and after a short battle decapitates him. Corzino's severed head gets possessed by Aaron and he converses with Cain for the first time and becomes aware of his existence and that he is an apostle of Zenom, after running out of time for the possession Aaron promises that he Cain will meet again.

Due to the aftermath of the events with the Republic of Ilstin and the event with Corzino becoming an apostle of the evil god, Cain gets promoted to the rank of Margrave and is also given governorship of the town of Terenza, as well the country’s newly acquired territory gained in the reparations from Ilstin. Terenza and this new territory end up becoming part of the Dorinthol territory.

Having saved a demon while in the Republic of Ilstin Cain was shocked to learn that she was actually the crown princess, Lisabeth von Benestos from the Benestos Demon Empire. This led to events where Cain was sent to the Demon Empire in order to prevent war between the humans and the demons. While there Cain fought against a demon lord possessed by Aaron due to the demon lord, Agus ingesting a larger jewel fragment than Corzino did, which allowed Aaron to possess his body. The fight between Cain and Aaron was pretty one-sided in Aaron's favor, even with Aaron using only a small fraction of his power, and Cain unable to use most of his power due to his location but due to only having a limited amount of time to possess Agus the fight ended rather quickly and Cain realized how strong gods truly are.

After this an alliance was formed between the Esfort Kingdom and the Benestos Demon empire with the condition that Cain would become engaged to Lisabeth.

### **Manga/Anime only**

In the manga/anime not long after his summoning of Seto, a horde of monsters goes on the rampage in the Gracia territory. The rampage is caused by Aaron, the evil god that Cain is fated to fight later on, who after gaining the chance to possess a living creature due to it ingesting a fragment of his seal takes control of the monsters in the 'Forest of Monsters'. When the news reaches the Royal Capital, Cain hearing about this and fearing for his family and friends quickly heads to Gracia. There he discovers the rumors are true and that an emergency quest had been posted. Due to the amount of monsters Cain summons Seto and asks for his help in fighting the monsters. While Cain and Seto are fighting in the forest Seto notices a strong presence and alerts Cain to it. Cain heads towards the creature and finds the dragon who is controlling the monster. It is here that he discovers that the dragon is being possessed by the evil god, Aaron and Cain battle, and Cain is victorious in the end, although Cain only wins due to Aaron not being able to use all that much of his power and there being a time limit to his possession. Due to this meeting Aaron is now aware of Cain's presence and vows to meet him again.

## Trivia

* Letter: Letter: [WN Volume 2 Chapter 27] [Manga Chapter 34]

*I haven’t seen you in a long time, how are you doing? This time, I’m writing to you because the new lord of that town, Viscount Cain, is, to put it plainly, a monster. You know my sister Tifana, right? Currently, she’s the commander of the royal knights. Viscount Cain is way stronger than her. Because there’s most likely no-one in this country who would be able to beat him, closely pay attention to his words. If you just contact him normally it should be fine, but if you make him mad, he might destroy the guild, or maybe even the whole town, you know? Apparently even His Majesty himself confirmed with the person in question that he wouldn’t destroy the entire country. So really, take care okay? By the way, Viscount Cain’s mansion in the royal capital is decorated with an SS-Class Red Dragon he defeated when he was five. Next time we meet, I really hope I’ll be seeing you with all five limbs attached. Ah, he’s really dangerous, okay? I’m not joking.*
*– Royal Capital Guild Master Eden]*

* Telestia plans to run his territory, while Silk plans to take care of its commerce; Cain doesn't have the interest nor desire to take care of those himself.
* All of his fiancées forced him to get engaged in one way of another
	+ Telesetia, Silk and Lisabeth used trickery; Rex intimidated Cain into the first two (even if his daughter was at fault) and Cain was pretty much forced into it the time Lisabeth did so as his being engaged to her was a condition of an alliance between the Esfort Kingdom and the Benestos Demon Empire.
	+ Tifana ignored his opinion and filed the paperwork; Dime von Ghazat gets the blame for dragging Cain to the sparring session they met at.
	+ Hinata used her status as a Saint to get public support; the Seven Pillars gave her an oracle to rely on Cain, but Lime encouraged it.
* Cain quite often exasperates his father, as well as the king due to many of his actions causing more stress and work for them, such as when Cain threw a fit and started casting strong magic in the forest, with the explosions causing people to panic thinking that a monster hoard or a dragon was on the rampage and that they were all doomed.
* Perhaps due to his youth, Cain is easily intimidated by others with authority, like his father and the king. Even though they become aware he is mentally older, they lecture him like a child, especially when he does childish problematic things or acts without thinking; completely forgetting Cain may retaliate with pranks if they push him too much. In most cases when his father Garm scolds him however, it's usually well deserved.
	+ Cain knows that he could easily deal with people strong-arming him or those falsely accusing him if he would let out more of his killing intent in those situations but knows that instead of making his life easier it would most likely cause him more grief than it would benefit him. So he only uses it when necessary.
* In the Dub, Cain speaks with a cutesy lisp as a toddler; even getting Rs wrong and using Ws instead, like Elmer Fudd.
* Considering he would end up a God like Yuuya did, Cain could theorically find a way to regain mortality and die; Gods can do anything unless they have specific field of expertise.
* Cain has shown impressive mental resilience in the fact all the burdens forced on him hasn't broken him.
