Lore: Long ago, before the Kinkou Order or the Order of Shadows were established, there existed another clan of Ninjas. Trained in the art of assassination, the ninjas were as deadly as they were plentiful. However, an inner power struggle between those of the ninjas that wished for change and the progression of their ways and those that wished to remain the same led to a civil war between the two factions. When the dust settled, only four of the most powerful ninjas remained. One left to find a place to start anew, vowing to rebuild it and restore balance to the ninja way. One disappeared almost instantly, as if he were one with the shadows themselves. One renounced his place as a ninja and picked up a sword, resolving to go wherever the wind takes him. One stayed in the ruined temple, too lost in his memories of the old order to notice that everyone else had left. His calm meditation put him into a state of stasis, freezing his body and mind in time for years to come. When he awoke, he found that the world around him had changed completely, much to his dismay. In front of him kneeled a young man, asking for his guidance. The old ninja agreed to take on a disciple and ensure that his way of ninja would live on. Ten years, he had trained this disciple, when, one day, deciding that he had mastered the way of the ninja, the disciple challenged his master to a spar. It was a regular occurrence, meant to test the skills of the disciple. However, this day, the disciple defeated his master. The old ninja, finally at peace knowing that his way of ninja was safe in the hands of his pupil, was ready to congratulate his student when the student pierced his master's skull with his sword. Ripping away the serrated blade and setting fire to the temple, Kain walked away from what was his home for ten long years. He knew that the time had finally come to get his revenge. He strapped his shurikens to his legs and sheathed his sword, running into the night. He knew he was powerful enough to defeat him. He knew that he could kill Zed.
Concept: Kain is meant to be a mix of an ADC and an assassin. His play style revolves around dealing consistent damage throughout a teamfight with his ranged shurikens, then finding the perfect time to go in. He can start his assassination spree by hitting an enemy with his ultimate. Once marked, all of his enemies will be easy pickings. It's best to engage with his E, cashing in on the Serrated Blade stacks he has put on his enemy over time. If he ends up engaging onto a tank he cannot kill, a simple reactivation of his ultimate will bring him to a backline squishy, allowing him to blow them up with a quick Q W. From there, he is to skirt around a teamfight, dashing to and fro to avoid fire while making tricky assassinations. His success depends on his ability to land his ultimate as well as proper usage of the dash granted by each marked enemy. He lacks any way of escaping once he goes all-in, so he has to make sure his engage counts. A mistimed engage means an easy kill for the enemy team, but if Kain goes full assassin mode at the right time, then the teamfight will have already been won.
