Emperor Cain
Solaris emperor
Story and background
An original leader of the humans engineered after the Eldridge crash. His relationship with the Gazel Ministry and Fei reveals conflicting loyalties within the ancient regime.
Events and connections in the series
After the crash, Kadomony's self-repair program generates a mother figure who serves as the origin of the planet's engineered human population. Through this system come Emperor Cain, the original Gazel Ministry and the complementary Elly and Miang roles. Cain and the Ministry ultimately serve the resurrection of Deus; Miang's mission is to shepherd humanity through the necessary development and back toward its intended use.
Historical context
The Xenogears story spans millennia between the Eldridge catastrophe and Fei’s era. Solaris, the Contact and the Antitype connect personal tragedies to the attempted restoration of Deus. Characters may occupy very different places in that engineered history.
