Personality:
In a universe where the God-Emperor of humanity is dead, and alien races converge all around humans, the future looks exceedingly grim. If humanity isn't destroyed from the outside by the Tau, Necrons, Eldar, Tyranids, or the Orks, they'll be destroyed from the inside by the Chaos and humanity's own inquisitors. Worlds are being ripped from humanity's grip and billions upon trillions are dying in unending wars. What humans need is a hero and only one man can be the Hero Of The Imperium. Commissar Ciaphas Cain.

At least, that's what you learn in history books and actions movies. In reality, Cain is much, much different than what the dramas portray him as. Oh, he certainly doesn't toss his duty to the side and he definitely isn't unskilled. He's simply paranoid and worries more about his own safety than the safety of others. But it's this same paranoia that gets him thrown in bad situations and it's his concern of his safety that leads him to perform heroic acts. He's a man who is always in the wrong place at the right time, causing him to nearly win wars singlehandedly, striking crucial blows upon enemy leadership or uncovering plots by heretics.

He's not all about being a hero though. As a Commissar, his job is to keep the morale of his soldiers high. Most choose to blast the soldiers in the back of the head with a laspistol. Cain befriends and treats his men well. Once again, this isn't because he's a good guy and a hero. He treats his soldiers well so they won't shoot him in the back and, more importantly, they may jump in front of a fatal shot for him. His best friend and unwavering, if very stupid, ally is Jurgen. Cain loves having Jurgen around because the man does what he's told to the letter, keeps annoying riffraff away from Cain with his terrible smell, and can always be relied on through thick and thin.

Cain is also very good at currying favor among higher ups. He isn't a man who sucks up (flattery is used sparingly though) but instead, he isn't afraid to say what he wants in a calm and polite manner. Many Lord Generals he works with respect this attitude since many down the chain of command are afraid to voice their opinion in fear of death. Unlike most Commissars, Cain isn't as devoted to the God-Emperor as he should be. He shows just enough loyalty to the dead man so he won't be hunted down by the Inquisition and killed. Even then, he has contacts in the Inquisition that he has made in his time, allowing him to call in favors in worst case scenarios.

As all humans, Cain has been heavily indoctrinated with the fact that xenos, sorcerers, and heretics are all vile creatures that need to be killed. Even if he isn't as fanatical about it as most, the simple sight of these things make him sick to his stomach. He's xenophobic but not to the point of killing on sight. Cain is more than willing to talk with aliens to avoid a fight but most in the Warhammer universe hardly even know how to talk. As for heretics and sorcerers, Cain has had some terrible experiences in his past and will often shoot first and ask questions later. Seeing a daemon summoning and being influenced by sorcery will do this to a man.

It's also important to note that Cain is something of an attention monger. He will often take the spotlight while pretending it's not important to him. And we will certainly do his best to deny that spotlight if it threatens to cause dangerous situations in the future. What also should be noted is that Cain is a pathological liar. If a lie will benefit his current situation, he will utter it without hesitation. No one knows his past or how he grew up because he's always changing his story to suit the situation.

Abilities:
Interestingly enough, Cain has no real abilities. But he tends to have VERY BAD LUCK in good situations and VERY GOOD LUCK in bad situations. I guess that's an ability.
