Cad Bane

* Vyond
* Accurate

**Cad Bane** is a member of the Spades of Travis and is a supporting antagonist in the *Sean In The Vyond World* series. He was taken from the *Star Wars* franchise, but mostly out of the *Clone Wars* series.

## Appearance

In the Clone Wars series, Cad Bane (like all Duros) has blue skin and a light bulb shaped head with no noticeable ears or nose and pure red eyes. He wears a combat suit with a long brown open trench coat, fingerless gloves, and cowboy hat, black pants and boots, mechanical arm bracers, and his signature breathing tubes.

In Vyond, Bane lacks his arm bracers, gloves, and holsters, has smaller eyes, his hat is more curved, his coat is closed and shorter, and his breathing tubes are orange (because they couldn't be recolored) and look more like headphones.

## Personality

Cad Bane is a textbook example of a sociopath: He is ruthless, cold and cruel, killing without remorse and taking pleasure in others' suffering. He will happily dispose of innocent bystanders and even his allies to finish off his quarry. Bane is also very wrathful and manipulative, willing to use any means necessary to get someone to do whatever he wants, such as shocking Jedi Master Bolla Repal at full power to get him to open the Holocron.

There is no task too harsh or sickening for Cad Bane to sink into doing, even abducting Force-sensitive children and giving them to Darth Sidious, who would have both physically and psychologically tortured them into being apprentices who were as heartless as himself.

While he usually has a lot of control over his emotions and acts in a reserved manner, he can sometimes break out into evil laughter and have a few hammy moments. He also exhibits vanity, killing just to get a replacement hat. Bane has a very sarcastic, dry sense of humor, as well as a condescending attitude. He treats his clients with little to no respect, and he mockingly refers to those younger than him as "son" or "little lady".

Decades later, Cad Bane is significantly more ruthless, menacing and less prone to humor. He coldly warns Cobb Vanth to cease interfering with Pyke operations. He is shown to be unnecessarily brutal in his killings, shooting Vanth’s deputy several times even after he is already dead. Arguably Bane's only redeeming trait is that he respects people he considers to be skilled and intelligent, as he rescues Obi-Wan Kenobi while disguised as Rako Hardeen while competing in the Box, as he developed a begrudging respect for him. Bane also hates those who refuse to kill their targets personally, saying that if someone were to earn his respect, they would "do it face to face". He demonstrates this by taunting Moralo Eval after trying to kill Obi-Wan through traps, mocking Eval for his cowardice by saying if he wanted to kill Obi-Wan, he should "do it like a man".

While Bane did take in and mentor a young Boba Fett, he was a cold, harsh and abusive guardian who gave Boba little to no affection. Bane did once reflect that Boba reminded him of himself when he was younger, which suggests that Bane did have a degree of fondness for the boy. However, what little care Bane mind have had for Boba has all but disappeared by the time they reunited.

Bane is known to not let go of grudges, holding vendettas against Fett and Shand decades after he last saw them. He mocks Fett, who was his former student, for his rusting skills, age, and the deaths of the Tusken Raiders he'd befriended.

Cad also shows traits of thrill-seeking, as he enjoys doing dangerous tasks, even if his life is at risk. When Boba is at his mercy, Bane shows no fear, and instead shows pride in Boba for wanting to kill him. However, this could have just been sarcasm as well. Nevertheless, Bane shows a considerable lack of fear, to the point where he even sarcastically mocks Darth Sidious for hiring Bane to kidnap Force-sensitive children, despite the Sith Lord's extremely cruel and sadistic nature. In Bane's younger years, he's shown fear when he is completely helpless, like when he's almost sucked into the fan at the Jedi Temple or when Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu attempt to use a group Jedi mind trick on him. Even then, Bane regains his composure immediately, and by the time of Boba's rise to power, Bane has lost all fear of death and even embraces it.
