Gabriel Kaine, was born on Year -32 Day 186 to the successful entrepreneur Asenour Kaine and his wife Erzabeth on the planet of Coruscant. Today, he is the current Lord Protector of Holowan, Governor of the Colavas System, and Patriarch of the Kaine Family. Though born as a set of triplets, Gabriel and his sister Reina grew up with no knowledge of their other sister, Saige, due to the tragic circumstances of her birth. Raised in the posh and plush lifestyle of a well-to-do Imperial millionaire, Gabriel was showered with the best education and lifestyle his father could afford. When he came of age, and much to the disapproval of his father, Gabriel followed in his uncle Herbert “Incubus" Kaine’s footsteps enrolling in the service to the Emperor in his Imperial Navy. After a long and successful career, Gabriel retired from all Imperial services to pursue his new found faith which would lead him to his current position at the side of his brother-in-law, Crueya Vandron, in Holowan.

History

Childhood

A young Gabriel & Reina Kaine at their Coruscant home.

Gabriel and his sister, Reina, born on Coruscant grew up with their father Asenour Kaine, a business mogul. Their father, would often share stories with his children of their mother, who tragically died just after child birth, but he never revealed that what caused her death was the birth of a third child. This mystery sister was known to them as Saige Kippenbrock, believed to be their first cousin on their mother’s side. The truth was never revealed until much later in life that because of the death of his beloved Erzabeth, Asenour hated and resented the young Saige and originally wanted her orphaned. Asenour's older brother, Herbert, forbid the action and approached the Kippenbrocks to raise the young Saige as their own.

Aside the ignorance of their mother’s death and subsequent unknown sister, both Kaine children enjoyed a happy and wonderful childhood. They enjoyed many vacations, educational opportunities, private tudors, and the posh lifestyle of growing up in a rich Imperial family. It was always the hope of Asenour that his son would follow in his footsteps, so he always tried to push Gabriel to areas of focus that revolved around business ventures. Unfortunately for his father, Gabriel was more like his uncle in that he found a fascination in the Imperial Military.

Imperial Military Career

Lieutenant jg Gabriel Kaine.

Gabriel expressed his intent to enlist in the Imperial Academy. Initially forbidding it, Asenour allowed his enlistment with one minor stipulation: Gabriel had to finish his private schooling and would be allowed to enlist at the age of nineteen. Just missing the required score to be enrolled in the prestigious Imperial Naval Academy, he was however, accepted and able to thrive in the Coruscant Sector Naval Academy. Intrigued in astrogation, he earned top merits in the field and would lead to his enrollment in the Imperial Exploration Corps as an Ensign after his graduation. Exploring unknown regions, Gabriel worked his way up to Lieutenant Commander and led a sizable group of ships and pilots operating just outside the Deep Core Security Zone.

In late Year 10, summoned to the Naval Head Quarters, Gabriel was to give an update to the the fleets of the Deep Core, on the western exploration front, to which Vice Admiral Axe Vulcan was in attendance. After a series of meetings and panels, the Admiral promoted Gabriel to the rank of Commander and reassigned him to his personal administration staff on Y10 D281. In his new advisory role, Gabriel was charged with investigating matters that warranted the Naval Command's attention without direct intercession of the Vice Admiral. His stay in this role was extremely short lived. He would quickly be reassigned as a Fleet Commanding Officer of the Imperial Navy's Third Fleet nine days later on Y10 D290 and stay in this role for the rest of his naval career. He would retire from all military services on Y12 D074 as a Commodore and Fleet Commanding Officer of the Second Imperial Fleet. His departing gift from the then Naval Commanding Officer Admiral Senki Blackrain was the Navy's Medal of Loyalty, an award still treasured to him to this day.

Death of More than Blood

Sometime after the 150th day of the 11th year of Darkness, Gabriel, who was a Captain in the Imperial Navy, received word that his younger cousin, Lilith Kaine, was arrested though reasons were unknown, but the charges were vague but grievous. Despite his best efforts, Gabriel failed to use his powers of influence to secure her release. His efforts went as far as offering his life for hers to the Executor of the Empire, who at that time was the soon to be Emperor Thomas Cherokee. Refusing his offer sealed her fate and on the 155th day of the 11th year of Darkness, Lilith Kaine, daughter of Amelia Kaine, was put to death.

One of Gabriel’s friends form childhood was a force sensitive young lady by the name of Sami Freemason. Found to be force sensitive at an early age and with Gabriel’s fascination with the Force from all the countless tales from his uncle about Sith Lords made these two a natural pair growing up. Sami and another dark jedi at the time knew of a way to possibly bring Lilith soul back from the Netherworld of the Force to the world of the living. Meeting at the Kaine’s former estate on Empress Teta, those assembled performed the ceremony. There was high hope at the time that it would succeed but before it was over, Lilith’s soul faded and reunited with the Force and left Gabriel, who had volunteered to help with the blood portion of the ceremony, with a shattered soul.

Lilith’s death and failed reincarnation physically scarred Gabriel for sometime. The touch of death all but killed a portion of his body for some months and furthermore penetrated to the very core of him and as a result shattered a large portion of his soul. The body would in time heal, both naturally and with the assistance of medical advancements, but there was little Sami or anyone could do to mend the broken soul. Though his condition as a Sin-Eater, as Sami referred to it, had not affect on his state of emotions, Gabriel entered into a state of depression. The very thing that he spent his military career defending claimed the life of not only his Uncle many years earlier, but not his young cousin. Despite all his power, his fleets, and his massive destroyers, he utterly failed at defending those closest to him. Though not directly the reason for his retirement from all Imperial services, these series of events only added to his growing disenchantment and love-loss of his once beloved Empire.

Personality

Asenour Kaine to a young Gabriel.

Composed of a solid appearance, Gabriel does not tower as a muscular giant. Standing approximately 6’3”, his 200 lbs. stature portrays a body that has been hardened but not chiseled by his 20 years in the service of the Imperial Navy. His hair is often kept short out of habit; however, he never was fond of the natural curls that would sprout once his hair would reach a certain length. His square facial features housed a pair of light green eyes and sported a scruffy appearance from time to time, though it was not uncommon for him to appear clean-shaven. Born into wealth and built in Imperial service, his fashion also is a byproduct of his life choices. Though he no longer wears a uniform, he does make a point to be well dressed, but not overdressed. Generally he is very laid back and patient, but there is a passionate rage within when it comes to matters of his family and his honor.

Despite his comfortable nature around people, Gabriel greatly looks forward to his solitude, however keeping a perfect balance can be difficult. Spending a good portion of his life in space, Gabriel’s wanderlust is all but over. Since the acquisition of his new home in the Halla Sector, he looks forward to time building up a new home, a place for his family to make their stand.
