Fixed a couple of tense and typographical errors.
===Origins & Early Life===
Cain makes numerous mentions to his home world, apparently a [[Hive World]], though he never mentions a name or any feature which could lead to it being identified. At one point in the archives, Amberly Amberley Vail speculates that Cain may not in fact know the name of his own homeworld. However, he shows a definite affinity for underground passages and has a natural sense of direction when underground. He claims that his parents were killed while serving in the [[Imperial Guard]], which is why he was sent to be trained as a Commissar. However, it has not been stated in which regiment they served. His record at the Schola Progenium where he was educated and trained shows that his marks were at the low end of average in everything save sports and combat training. He also had a clear disciplinary record, however this probably means he didn't get caught.
===Service History===
Throughout his service in the [[Commissariat]], Cain seems to have served predominantly with regiments raised from the [[Ice Worlds|Ice World]] of [[Valhalla]]. He picked up a number of their habits and slang terms, although he never became enamoured to the cold they enjoyed, or their habit of taking showers in ice water. His loyal aide [[Ferik Jurgen]] was a Valhallan guardsman who happens happened to be a [[blank]], and served Cain faithfully for many years. Also with him was [[General]] [[Jenit_Sulla|Jenit Sulla]].
He began his service with the Valhallan 12th Field Artillery in 919.M41, apparently as a Commissar attached to the command battery, but soon took up duties over the entire regiment. His first taste of battle was on Desolatia, where the regiment had been defending against [[Orks]], but soon they were faced with a Tyranid splinter fleet, which they held out against until an Imperial fleet arrived to pick up the Imperial forces on the planet.
