I'm surprised no one has mentioned more about the background of Kane in this thread, yet...
The biblical background, I mean. the following is part of the story of Cane and Able:
| Quote: |
Able was the younger brother of Cain and the second son of Adam and Eve. He was the first shepherd, while Cain was a tiller of the soil. When the brothers came as a matter of course to present their offerings to God, the sacrifice of Abel—the first-lings of his flock—was preferred to that of Cain, who gave of the fruits of the earth. The acceptance of Abel's offering aroused the jealousy of Cain, who, in spite of the warnings of God, wreaked his vengeance upon the favorite by murdering him.
Abel, stronger than Cain, overcame him in a struggle between them, but mercifully spared his life. Cain, however, took Abel unawares and, overpowering him, killed him with a stone —some say with a cane, or even that he choked him with his fingers.
The place where Abel was killed remained desolate forever, never producing vegetation. According to another version, the earth refused to take up Abel's blood.
Abel was regarded as the first innocent victim of the power of evil
The body of Abel the Just, after many days of mourning, was placed in the Cave of Treasures. Before this cave, Adam and Eve and their descendants offered their prayers; and "by the blood of Abel the Just" Seth and his descendants adjured their children not to mingle with the seed of the unrighteous.

And I'm sure we all remember finding the tomb in the Nod Temple?
Come on, can Kane be anyone else?
