Editing The Lavesgrie Exile:Kaine (section)

== History ==
Kaine's story is not one that is often repeated, nor often told. Indeed, he has only given the Lady-Captain the half truth that he had been traveling pilgrim routes for a time and had simply decided to establish himself on her ship due to the lack of experienced clergy on the ship. While what he said is the truth, it is far from the entire truth.

Kaine was born to a noble family on a distant Shrine World. The family he was a part of was deeply religious and he was born to be a Chaplin of one of the greater cathedrals of the planet. He always possessed a great reserve of charisma and willpower which caused his quick ascension through the ranks (though his noble heritage helped) but in the terms of courage and mental abilities he was less then great, rarely standing out. The one exception was when he joined the PDF forces of the planet to quell a massive mutant uprising, using his force of personality to whip the troopers into warriors that slaughtered nearly all the mutants, as well as those unfortunate enough to be in the combat zone as well. One of those unfortunates happened to be a rather high ranking cardinal on the shrine, stuck in danger in his attempt to flee with his life.

With the death of the cardinal, Kaine was kidnapped by forces of the church and tortured within an inch of joining the Emperor multiple times. It was during those multiple near-death experiences that Kaine realized that all Imperials were equal in the eyes of the Emperor. Only through greater and greater trials could one truly join the Emperor.

He was released soon after the realization occurred, the church believing that he would not be of any trouble before banishing him on a pilgrim ship. That was when he first started building his flock and, eventually, he came under them employ of Lady-Captain Lavesgrie.
