Personality: Years of lust for revenge has aged Caius into a cold-hearted, distant, and sadistic man. He will stop at nothing to get his revenge on the one that took the most important thing to him away. Although, when he stops to reflect, someone could probably find him observing a couple from a distant, and they can see that he has both an expression of longing and envy on his face.
Bio: Being a Raven Mocker, Caius usually goes to the dying to steal the remnants of their years (They'll just spend it wasting away on their beds, anyway). It was then that he met a woman dying of illness, and though death hung around her like a deep fog, she smiled through the pain and accepted her fate. He found himself drawn to that melancholic beauty, and so he let her live. He protected her from the other Raven Mockers and Reapers, only asking for her smile in return. There was no doubt about it, he was in love with her, and he made sure she recovered and was able to live life on her own. But Fate never enjoyed a happy ending. Perhaps it was because of him staying around her so much, but one day, as she recovered and Caius came for yet another visit, he saw a man stride to her house. The demon at first assumed it was a distant relative or friend of hers and merely watched from a distance, waiting for him to leave. Then, to his horror, the man pulled out a strange gun and fired it at the woman. Horrified, Caius rushed to her side (the man had left just then) and held the woman in his arms. He begged her to live, to stay with him, but the bullet was buried deep in her head, and even he could not protect her. So he held her, he held her when she drew her last breath, and when her body became frigid and cold. As his love and agony poured out, only one emotion filled it: blood-thirsty rage.
Later on, Caius learned that the man's name was Reed de Fevin, and that he was a bounty hunter. Purely angry, the Raven Mocker followed him to Black Rose, wanting nothing but blood.
