Kaindriel Mortame

''"You know....if I had a nickle for every time somethin' broke in this damn school, I'd be one rich som' bitch." -Kain repairing tech in the                                                                    school''

Kain is one of many protagonists, and a major supporting character of the Spirit of Order universe. He is the half brother of Crisendorf, and a master of invention. Without his various devices and machines the Institute wouldn't keep afloat, or running smoothly. He is the Head of Magitech Development for the Mortame Institute, a School devoted to training the next Generation of Heroes, he also replaces the limbs of students and staff alike if they lose them in the field. Being a cyborg himself he is very skilled in creating Cybernetic limbs and implants. He has 50 devices implanted in himself as well. Most of which keep him alive and well. He knows 13 different hand to hand styles, and has a 9mm pistol built into each arm, though his greatest piece of equipment is the Mark-97 Witchhunter armor. A suit of Magitech Armor that is highly resistant to mana based attacks, and was unveiled during chapter 10, just before the fight with Terin Forr.

He appeared to the Order around the same time Crisendorf's true age was revealed, arriving in the City on the flying school he and his brother had worked so hard to build and make airborne. He often retreats to the inner workings of the Institute, and primarily inhabits his Laboratory, where he can be found almost 24/7. His Defense drones/droids patrol the school at all times, keeping the School a safe place for the students to train. He is the "Father" Of the Superior Combat Android, Jameson. Who was built as the perfect counter to Junichi Mortame. He has also built siblings for Jameson that have yet to be activated, in the occasion that other members of the Order change sides.

Background
Kain was born in Savannah Georgia, July 25th, 1813, to his father Casterberous Mortame, and Martha Ross, who believed his father had died when he left for Falnoire when Kain was 3 years old. Kain grew up in the State of Georgia, where he began practicing regularly with rifles of varying design. When the Civil War began in 1861, he enlisted to aid his friends who had sided with the Confederacy, believing he could help keep them alive. It was during this period of time he started practicing Field Medicine, and acted as medic for many. Acting as Infantry only when needed. He relocated to the New York on June 15th, 1865 with twelve others who had survived the Civil War. Kain went on to serve as a Doctor for many years in the city, and later treated many injured during the Spanish American War, including his Half Brother, the two remained together from that point on.

He served a Field Medic in World War 1, and in the 2nd Armored Division in World War 2, during which he engineered his first replacement limb, a clock work leg easily concealed by his uniform. He stuck with the US Military until 2007, when he was Honorably Discharged from Service. He returned to the Institute and continued working on his highly experimental Flight Generators. Having trouble with a power source, the mixed efforts of Crisendorf and himself created the Archmagus Crystal. Which is a clean burning ever recycling fuel source. which they perfected and installed in the New North American School, which had just finished Construction. The School now flies with Ease over the city of Detroit, the Crystal having been replaced by Kain and Crisendorf after Chapter 11: The Break of Dawn.

Personality
Kain is very blunt, if he has an opinion on something, he won't hold back. Often calling people idiots if he believes they deserve such. He is also shown to be a caring individual underneath that grizzled southern exterior, as he will treat his students at the Institute in the lab when they accidentally harm themselves, and then again in Airica's Infirmary when he has the proper tools for the Job. He also tends to grumble a lot. Particularly when showing annoyance at his equipment being damaged by some of the more rowdy students.

He also speaks with a Southern Drawl, as opposed to the Irish Accents of Crisendorf and Alexandria, or the British accent of CJ (Junichi).

Appearance
Kain is the tallest of the Mortame's, standing 5 inches taller than Crisendorf. He is pale from spending months and months at a time in his lab. He has a salt and pepper beard and greying hair. And wears a simple grey shirt with the Mortame Crest, a crow, on the back, and jeans. He also wears a raggedy old trucker's cap with welding goggles above the rim, and his dog tags. Which he wears with pride.

Crisendorf Mortame
Kain is extremely close to his older brother, to him it doesn't matter that they didn't grow up together, or share the same mother. They both acknowledge that the other is the perfect opposite of the other, Science, and Magic, and it because of this that they work so well together. There is no obstacle these two can't get passed working together. It is for this reason that villains turn and run when they are fighting side by side. Crisendorf trusts none like he trusts Kain, and the feeling is mutual.

Alexandria Mortame
Kain and Alex share a friendly relationship, in which they make snarky remarks at each others expense. Kain forges Alex's more intricate pieces of equipment, and cares a great deal for her safety. Kain and Alex have few similarities, however Kain taught Alex how to play the Guitar. Which they play together often. Usually with Kain on the harmonica instead. They are extremely close, and often spend hours at a time sparring and testing Magitech weaponry together. He also helps Alex teach her Demon Anatomy Class, as he was once a hunter like her and the students she lectures.

Mizuki Tatsamura
Kain and Mizuki don't see each other often to ever. Though when they do they have the typical brother/sister-in law relationship. They argue often and occasionally shots are fired, which get caught in the joints of his leg. Kain often steals her Cheez-its to spite her.

Junichi and Shizumi
Kain often builds equipment for his Nephew, often tabbed away underneath a folder labeled "Special Projects" and in old Falnoiren so only Crisendorf could read them. He maintains a close relationship with Junichi. Shizumi however is often called an idiot and a spoiled brat by her uncle, and he tries his hardest to make her come out of that way of thinking.

Wisteria and Casterberous
Kain's niece and nephew, Kain is far closer to Caster than Wisteria, as Caster is his apprentice. He has full access to Kain's resources and blue prints. Wisteria was given access to the Armory and Training halls by Kain.

Julian "Taboo" Sky
Kain doesn't see Julian often. Though he did spend a small amount of time on Mar'Sara rebuilding the city after his nephew destroyed it. As well as the Andromedian God in Chapter 11. Having his Droids cover the city as it is repaired and rebuilt. Even setting up a small base beneath the mansion full of defense droids were Julian to have need for them.

Percy "Limbo" Dark
Kain and Limbo share a friendly relationship. Filled with sarcastic remarks and lots of really bad jokes and Scotch. All while commentating on the sparring matches in the Arena.

Airica Falagoth
Kain and Airica have a friendly relationship. Albeit Professional. Kain will often go to her infirmary and borrow medical supplies if a student in his class gets hurt building magitech, or their own equipment. He will treat them in the lab, and then take them to Airica so she can repair any long term damage done. He also goes to her to receive treatment for subtle nerve damage. As Cybernetic limbs, when ripped off. Can cause extensive damage to the nerves required to make the arms and legs work correctly.

O'lias Sage
Kain has nothing but respect for Izanagi, as they share a common trait. They didn't need outside help to discover who they are. While he doesn't regularly speak with him, he chooses his words wisely around Izzy, and tries to earn his respect in return.

Gisella "Macro" Masden
Kain has been shown, during their new friendship, to care for Macro's safety as one would a child or an apprentice. And subtly makes small corrections to some of her equipment when she isn't paying attention in order to help them work properly and decrease the odds of her tech from blowing up in her face. The latest example of such is her Sonic Emitter. He made mild corrections to the device so the gauntlet wouldn't malfunction half way through their defeat of Terin. He's also noticeably impressed by her inventions, which is a rare occurrence in itself.

Jameson Mortame
Jameson is a Superior Combat Android that was built in order to be the perfect counter for Junichi in the event that he takes hostile action against the Institute and the Order. He is one in a long series of Meta-Droids that were built to counter every member in the group, even Crisendorf, Alex, and Himself, for use in the off chance that they all turn to the Darkness and don't return. Jameson is a Perfect Marksman, and in the few occasions where he and Junichi have sparred, when CJ would fire his pistols Jameson would fire as well. His bullets stopping Junichi's in mid air making his ranged abilities useless. Though he is the perfect shot, his hand to hand skills are poor, as Kain hadn't realized Junichi might have gained a proficiency in such. As a result, his "Son" is usually used for recon and sometimes follows Alex, Dishi, or even Junichi himself as long range support should he be needed. He often refers to Kain as "Father".

Tommy Richards
Kain once helped Alex load Tommy into a cannon and fired him off side of the school. He shares in her distaste for him, and often wonders how his brother can stand him.

Baltomere Domin
Kain and Baltomere don't always mix well. They share a friendly rivalry with one another. Usually involving some form of contest or an intense debate about topics that don't really matter to anyone. When it comes down to it however they work well together in the field, and Kain will sometimes help teach his class when he is unavailable. As well as when he is there, in the hopes of aiding his students progress with learning the material.

 * Kain has built every computer, device, and piece of machinery that is currently installed in the Mortame Institute, and aside from the random destruction of such equipment, they would normally have a shelf life of 300 years before becoming obsolete. However Kain is always updating and rebuilding tech. Which usually makes them just that, within a few days of them being built.
 * Kain has made of three thousand suits of Power Armor.
