Cain (Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light)

Cain (translated Kain in the Japanese version) is a loyal knight of Altea and is often seen with his fellow knight Abel. He loyally follows Marth in his quest and stays with him in the end of his quest.

When Marth left to comply on Hardin's request, Cain was left in charge of Altea. When the Empire attacked Altea, Cain managed to escape and reunite with Marth, once again assisting his quest. In his ending, Cain continues to serve Altea and when Jagen died, he succeeded his position.

Archtype
Cain, along with Abel, also jump started a trend of Fire Emblem characters consisting two Social Knights/Cavaliers that are often seen together as friends, one of them will specialize more on Strength and HP, and the other specializes on Skill and Speed, and their color scheme are usually red and green (in Cain's case, he wears red).

Etymology
Cain's name comes from the biblical story of Cain and Abel. Cain became jealous that God favored Abel's tribute more, and therefore killed him and was cast from God's favor. In Monshō no Nazo, this is slightly reversed: Abel falls out of Altea's favor for treason, although it didn't involve Cain.
