The flame of Hesiesh burns brightly in Bain's blood.

==Artifact 4 (The Heart of the Mountain and the Scales of the Dragon)==
Forged as a matched pair on Bain-Sa's graduation from finishing school, both Reaper Daiklave and Reinforced Breastplate are based in Red Jade.  The blade seems to glow with an inner heat, while the armor is carved with images of Hesiesh, enameled in gold.

==Artifact 5 (Silken Armor, Hearthstone Amulet, Jade Perfected Kata Bracers and The Unsurpassed Sanxian)==

The armor was dyed black to compliment his breastplate, and the Amulet holds his most powerful Hearthstone.  The Bracers were a gift from his Sifu before he left on a Wyld Hunt.  He was never seen again.  Bain discovered the Sanxian during a trip to the Blessed Isle, and won it from it's owner in a musical duel.

=History=
Cathak Bain-Sa is an one hundred and 17 year old Fire Caste Terrestrial.  Born in Greyfalls to Cathak Kitono, Bain-Sa was schooled on the Blessed Isle, where he was raised with his peers and taught the social mores of the Realm.

His Second Breath came early, at the age of 9, but the real issue came when he discovered sex, for not only did he hold a highly pure joining of bloodlines, but the libido off the first Terrestrials came with it.  It took years of discipline at the dojo he was exiled to before he gained a slight measure of control over his urges, and in that time he became a student of the Even Blade.

He scheduled his training around bouts of rutting, and learned enough to know that there were multiple approaches to the style, and that no one practitioner knew them all.  He vowed to not only learn them all, but take his place among the Masters of martial arts and complete the style.

His father was less then pleased, and recalled him to Greyfalls, since as his heir, Bain-Sa was to inherant his place in the House.  However, Bain-Sa never was much interested in House politics, and prefered to spend his time honing his art, both with blade and sanxian.

His time in Greyfalls was broken at times for the needs of the Wyld Hunt, but since the disappearance of the Empress, that's ground to a halt.

The past five years have been difficult.  A Solar nation in the Scavenger Lands has interferred with the river trade between Greyfalls and the Realm proper.  Therefor, Bain-Sa has been dispatched with a message to the leader of the Solar Empire that Greyfalls wishes to join.  And to act as hostage towards Greyfalls good behavior.

=Personality=
Cathak Bain-sa is a fairly serious man, which makes his bouts of gregariousness and whoring even more disconcerting then it would be.  He lives by his code, and outside of that, tries to enjoy himself as much as possible.

If he isn't practicing his sword work or cutting a swathe through the local men and women, he's easiest to find by the sounds of his sanxian, which is the third love of his life, right behind his sword and sex itself.
