| Caim is the only son of [[Gaap]], a kind and just king who once ruled a small eastern country named [[Caerleon]]. Caim was once a courteous and gentle youth like his father; he easily forgave his fellow man and never held a grudge. He idolized his father and aspired to be like him, clinging closely to Gaap's lessons of swordsmanship and enjoying his sparring sessions with his childhood friend, [[Inuart]]. Since Caim spent most of his youth dedicating himself to his extensive sword training, he was completely unaware of the [[Empire]] inching closer to his homeland.

| On his eighteenth birthday, as he hurried to receive his parents' blessings, Caim personally witnessed the [[Legna|Black Dragon]] devouring his mother. Gaap told his son to escape with [[Furiae]] and tried to hold it off; he too fell before it. The death of his parents dealt a deafening blow to both him and the kingdom. Caim learned afterwards that the dragon was sent there by the [[Watchers]], who were associated with the Empire. The only remnant he had left to note his royalty was the bracelet both he and Furiae wear on their left wrist. In his period of grief, Caim's kindness died with his parents.

| After his kingdom fell to ruin, Caim decided to rely on no one else but himself. He would only believe in his own strength and [[Caim's Sword|his sword]] in the battlefield. When he first left his home and joined the [[Union]], it was with the pure intent of avenging his parents. As the years of fighting the Empire waged on, however, Caim's anger towards his loss gradually manifested into pleasure from killing others. His guilt was dulled with the many lives he took. He justifies to himself that he is fighting for revenge, even if his naysayers state otherwise.

| Caim and Inuart were close friends, almost like brothers. They trained and sparred almost daily. As the crown prince of his kingdom, Caim had many responsibilities to attend to and they shaped him into a skilled swordsman and a respected mediator. Inuart always looked up to Caim but was also jealous of him skill and looks, but Caim never put him down and always tried to build him up.

| On Caim's eighteenth birthday, Inuart and Caim sparred with one another. Caim thought that it was a friendly session, yet Inuart's heart was sated with jealousy and hatred towards him. In the heat of the moment, his sword struck and wounded Caim. Furiae was watching their match and immediately ran to her brother's side. Caim thought nothing of the injury and quickly forgave Inuart, yet his friend was alarmed by his actions and brooded in self-guilt.
