Back, he  s p u r r e d  like a MADMAN, shrieking a curse to the sky
With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high.

WHEN THEY SHOW HIM DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY
DOWN LIKE A DOG ON THE HIGHWAY
And he lay in his blood on the  h i g h w a y ,  with a bunch of lace at his throat.

FACTS ::

• Kade is a jack-of-all-trades and always has been. Even though he did not suffer from a horrible childhood, living in a tiny apartment above his father's cobbler shop, he was always getting into trouble as a pickpocket. He lost his mother at a young age, and she had often kept him in line. When his father had needed money, he got it, but that wasn't why he did it. He had done it for the thrill. As he got older, this eventually led him to becoming a mercenary for hire, taking any odd jobs here and there.
• Once his father passed away, he didn't feel the need to remain in Teronna. He left on the first ship that would give him passage and he traveled, continuing to take whatever jobs that came his way. It was at this time that he ran into Sevrin Demarais and his fellow Brotherhood mercenaries. They promised a traveling home aboard their vessel, good food and drink, good company, and jobs. There would always be jobs so long as he sailed beneath the emblem of the Brotherhood. He's been with them for the last few years.
• On a merc mission, he and the team were nearly outnumbered. Kade hadn't been able to completely watch his surroundings and was nearly stabbed in the back before Cara DeGraff intervened. Ever since then, he has vowed to return the favor and pay his debt to the woman. Cara is quickly becoming a good friend, something he's never really had before.
• Unknown to Kade: There's an unspoken tale that no one in his family ever shared. Perhaps it was forgotten somewhere down the line, or they feared if they brought it up, it would become true. The thing is, it always happens. The cursed has been unable to stop it, for they do not know it exists. Generations prior, Kade's ancestor sought for the magical wellspring, seeking its aide to save his dying wife. Luck would find them, and the woman drank from the mythical waters...but to request help from the wellspring always comes with a price. Their child was born cursed to grow up and be hunted, and to lose the love of his life before death claimed him as well. This has never stopped. Once the man dies, his soul is transferred into the first newborn that draws in its first breath outside the womb, restarting the whole cycle over again. He does not know he is a reincarnation of this cursed individual, although Kade himself has every now and then gotten strange dreams and deja vu on occasion.
