Beneath that, he wears a white headscarf. His belt is adorned with a golden brooch with a wolf's head symbol. A golden chain hangs on the right. He has arm wraps around both of his forearms.

He seems to be able to unsheathe and retract his claws, which is something more particular to cats than to canids. His lightning emissions appear light blue.

When disguised, he often appears as an elf named Stick.

### Personality

Kane is working towards his own redemption. He wrestles with self-loathing.

## Biography

### Early Life

Kane was born to Malus Solace and an unknown mother in 4550 PF, somewhere in the Wild Bastion. He was scarred by his father.

### Red Rites

In Frostford, his appearance maddened the Bone Queen, who used a Blight Seed against him in her anger. She dragged off an unconscious Kane to be given as a sacrifice to the Frostford Titan. While trying to escape, he killed Cornifer's Creature. After leaving the catacombs, Kane was given Kane's Tooth by Skoria.

When visiting Callstall again, he took on the same Elven facade. Babo introduced him as Stick, her ex-boyfriend.

### Red Rites

* Babo
* Brimy
* Leor
* Skoria
* Cinna
* Darcy
* Nym
* Yossel
Skoria sees themself as a parental figure to Kane (despite an age difference of only four years). They made Kane his sword.

"*You're complicated, man. You're making my job difficult.*"
—Darcy to Kane in the caves of Frostford[src]
Despite Darcy's rigid beliefs that Kane deserved punishment for his crime, the relationship between him and Kane is multifaceted. Darcy was the main defense attorney in the trial against Kane, as well as his executioner. Darcy took the role of executioner out of empathy, to give Kane a different option than death.

## Meta

The name Kane has many origins. In Irish, it means "warrior", which could reference his initially aggressive demeanor and experience in combat. In Japanese, it means "golden", and could be why his favourite colour is yellow. In Hawaiian, it means "man", which could relate to his transgender identity, emphasising his gender through his name. His name may also originate from the Latin "canis", meaning "dog", referring to his Wolffolk heritage. It might also be a reference to the Biblical Cain, who killed his brother and was punished by God to walk the Earth forever. Cain was branded with the Mark of Cain by God, similar to how Kane has been scarred by his father. The Mark also meant that nobody could enact vengeance against him.

Solace refers to comfort given to someone experiencing extreme loss. This could indicate. It may also be derived from Latin "solus", meaning "alone", referencing the archetype of the lone wolf.

A stick is a thin piece of wood that has fallen from a tree. As a tree-related word, it probably indicates that Stick is a Wood Elf, rather than a High Elf, but as the name was invented on the spot by Babo, who probably does not know that much about Elven culture, this can be taken with a grain of salt.

The DM has identified Kane as a self-insert character.
