[b](Quote): [i]A soft spoken and reserved man, his desire to serve god, king, and country could rival that of some knights. Many of those that know his curse see him and wonder what his swift and terrible power could do if left unchecked, a few wonder what could have possibly occurred for him to be cursed with such a sinister "gift", and fewer still pity him, not just for his affliction, but for knowledge of the fact that he is a man that has long since forgotten the touch of another.[/i][/b]

[b]Name[/b]: Cain Argus
[b]Age[/b]: 28
[b]Race[/b]: Cursed Human
[b]Role & Kingdom[/b]: Bishop of Raphael
[b]Ability & Weapon[/b]: Cain's curse causes any living matter that comes into contact with his skin to rapidly decay into dust. To be more precise, it acts as a siphon, draining away the victim's very life essence to add to his own, resulting in an increased lifespan based on how many years the creature grabbed had left in its natural lifespan. He typically wields a mace as his go to weapon

[b]Biography[/b]: Unlike a few cursed individuals Cain's affliction came not from acquiring favor from a demon, rather from the actions of his own kin turning him into a bartering chip. His grandfather was a warlock, making pact after pact with all manner of demon and devil in exchange for greater power. At some point he lost track of all of the deals he'd made and found himself neck deep in debt. His solution? Offer up any and everything he could to get out of being dragged to hell. Artifacts were traded, favors done, and apprentices sacrificed, but no matter what was done it never seemed enough. Eventually he managed make a last ditch attempt to weasel his way out of losing his soul by offering up his firstborn grandchild to the demon that he'd done the most deals with in exchange for every other cost being dropped. There was a bit of a debate on what would happen to the then twelve year old Cain, but ultimately the demon settled on him being cursed rather than simply sacrificed or being used as a vessel. 
Cain, for his part, was completely unaware of what had transpired until one morning he tried to pet the family dog at breakfast only for it to turn into a pile of dust. This caused quite an uproar with his family to say the least, and after several doctor and church visitations word got out about the boy's lethal touch. Being that the town Cain lived in at the time was both superstitious and relied solely on crops and livestock, Cain found his family and himself driven out of town in rather short order to prevent everything being reduced to dust at his hands. For a little while the family eked out a living at the very edge of town, but as the years went by, it became increasingly clear that Cain's family desperately wanted to return to their old home. 
Their chance came in the form of a cleric from Raphael passing through to pass on the Good Word. After  no small amount of pleading with the holy man Cain was left in the care of the church so that his family could return. It was there that he learned that his curse could be lifted by an angel if he could somehow gain favor, and it was with this knowledge that he began working as hard as he could within the church. His fervent desire to do good, devotion to the kingdom, and magical aptitude pushed him through the ranks of the clergy in a rather short period of time, with him being ranked as a bishop at the age of twenty six. He has held this rank for two years now, and, while he still has not yet gained the attention of any angels as far as he's aware, holds out hope that one day he can lift his curse.
