Kaine Koh

I know you can hear me,
Open up the door,
I only want to play a little.
Ding dong.
You can't keep me waiting,
It's already too late,
For you to try and run away...

## Story

### Bio

Kaine Koh, one of Eden’s many enigmas. He doesn’t exist in any records or files, seemingly only a whisper on the street. A man of a thousand faces and identities. Even if you access his S-IC it makes no sense as it leads to Iseul Kang, the deceased son of a disgraced politician. He was killed 18 years ago, in a hospital terrorism attack, where the then 5-year-old received treatment for a chronic form of iron related thalassemia.

So it can’t be Kaine, right?

Kaine was raised in red as an orphan. The man who took care of him really didn’t prioritize the “fatherly approach” and instead gave him other life skills. Hacking, hand to hand combat and how to use a gun. All while drugging him to keep him in check. Kaine, as well as his adopted siblings, had a purpose to fulfill. They were raised as the next generation of a terrorist group known as Gwisin. Their goal was to take over Eden.

This was cut short as their expansion reached Knife street a few years ago. Setting up shop in the abandoned complex and trying to usurp the area as well as the drug trade, they met heavy resistance from the local gang. The Forsaken retaliated and wiped out Gwisin’s members, leaving Kaine the sole survivor.

Raised as a ghost, he had to use all his skills to survive on the street. He lacked funds, drugs and medication for his stubborn iron deficiency. Something that only could be sated with theft, murder and the blood of others. And he really got a taste for that blood…

He was later picked up by Sean, leader of Noctis, to be his personal hacker and errand runner. That too was cut short when Sean was murdered by his own prostitute, Siréne, who formed a new gang for Sinn.

Siréne gave him a choice, to die or to follow.

And Kaine followed.

### Continuance

A lot of time has passed since, and Kaine has become a natural part of the new order. One of Siréne's favorites, he enjoys a lot of benefits. But he is also the ultimate crash pillow for Siréne's temper. He doesn't seem to mind seeing how this is the most secure and safe he has been his entire life.

Which says a lot about his past.

But with a new family comes a lot of worry. Kaine is seemingly the only one who realize the gravity of the war against the Forsaken. But then again, he is the only one who have seen what they can do first hand. He secretly fears that Eyeless and his people will do the same to Le Désir as they did to Gwisin. And he can't survive that again...

He doesn't want to.

## Relationships

##### Siréne

Kaine's employer. But also his savior.

Kaine owes Siréne *everything*. And the leader knows that very well. They have a strange bond, always toeing what's healthy or reasonable. Kaine would ruin himself if it meant that it would save Siréne. He wants Siréne to feel safe and happy, no matter the consequences. Because Siréne is the last beacon of safety for Kaine and has given him so much. His need for the older male's validation and trust overshadows his own will to live, and in a situation where Siréne ceases to exist... Kaine will also disappear.

##### Sage

Siréne's favorite mirage and Kaine treats him as such. But Kaine also suspects that Sage hates him, which makes him uncertain on how to behave around him.

##### Akma

The newest member of Le Désir. Kaine sees a lot of himself in Akma and wants to help him. Their friendship will be unlikely, but it will be another puzzle piece that results in Kaine's happiness. And his worry...

##### Eyeless

There are so many reasons for Kaine to hate the Forsaken leader. He orchestrated the death of his adopted family/group, is the mortal enemy of his leader, is Kaine's own arch nemesis when it comes to hacking... Kaine should want to kill him, but honestly he would just be really grateful if Eyeless left them alone. Even if it technically was Siréne who instigated this war. You can't kill a man like Eyeless anyway. A lot of people tried and ended up dead instead...

## Trivia

* Read his name the Korean way and you'll find a surprise.
* Has retractable vampire teeth installed to match his blood sucking nature.
* The attack orchestrated by the Gwisin in Mercury Hospital created many orphans that they "adopted". Iseul Kang, now known as Kaine Koh, was one of them. But they didn't get all children. If fate had been different, Lieutenant Hoon Ih would have been his adopted brother.
