History:
Cassian was born to a lower class family in the mid-late 19th century, which raised him until they discovered he had a physical deformity that prevented his body from aging past the point of 12 years old. Upon discovering this, Cassian’s family sold him to a circus where he was taught to be a knife-thrower. This is where most of his upbringing occurred, however he was constantly abused by the ringmaster with a whip.
When Cassian’s an adult, still with the appearance of a young boy, the ringmaster’s girlfriend tries to seduce him. It was really a ploy put on by the ringmaster himself who was laying bets as to whether or not Cassian would fall for her. When Cassian discovers their scheme he snaps, finally having enough of being taken advantage of, and kills both the ringmaster and his girlfriend. From then on he’s hunted by the authorities and sinks deeper into a life of crime; most of his crimes involved murder and assassinations.
Delilah is a secret and corrupt organization run by Alexis Hargreaves, whose main goal is to bring his dead sister/lover back to life. After a few years, Cassian shows up on Delilah’s radar as someone who could be an asset and so agents of Delilah approach him. They tell Cassian that if he joins their group it would be possible that they could find a way to fix his condition with Delilah’s superior medical knowledge. Cassian accepts their proposal, hoping they could fix him, and becomes what is called a “Trump card”. He is placed as Doctor Jezebel Disraeli’s assistant, running errands, stealing items, and, if necessary, killing people for the doctor’s research.
At first the relationship between Cassian and the doctor is borderline hostile as Jezebel hates all humans, preferring the company of animals instead. Cassian, meanwhile, acts hostile to all who look down on him because of his size and thinks that is why Jezebel hates him. However, Cassian begins to realize he was wrong about the nature of the doctor’s animosity; he even develops an affinity for the other man that eventually grows into something stronger.
By the time the doctor begins to be ‘seduced’ by another Delilah member, Cassandra, Cassian and Jezebel’s relationship has already gotten much stronger than expected. It is during this time that Cassian discovers from Dr. Zenopia, another lead Doctor in Delilah, that there would be no way for Cassian to have a normal body due to a chemical imbalance in Cassian’s brain, although it is made up for by heightened agility. Cassian loses hope that he’ll ever have a normal body and instead turns to his only other goal - rescuing Jezebel from his abusive father, whose hate and violence are breaking his son.
Cassandra, Cassian’s enemy, is disgraced publically and revealed to be behind a terrorist attack on London which nearly causes Delilah to be uncovered. Due to his failure, Jezebel shows up and tells Cassandra he is exiled from Delilah. In a rage he attempts to kill Jezebel but instead stabs Cassian because he steps in the way of Cassandra’s attack. Cassian stops Cassandra and knocks him unconscious, but the wound he sustains is fatal and he lies dying in Jezebel’s arms. Just before losing consciousness, Cassian tells Jezebel that he needs to escape his father’s influence before he gets killed by it, proving once again that he truly cares for the doctor.
Despite the mortal wound, Jezebel refuses to allow Cassian to die. He takes Cassandra’s body and performs a brain transplant, putting Cassian into Cassandra’s body and vice versa, ultimately resulting in Cassandra’s death, something that is kept secret from society and most of the other Delilah members.
Because Cassandra has been kicked out of Delilah for nearly uncovering its plans as well as still being hunted by society, Cassian (now in Cassandra’s body) has to go into hiding from both society and Delilah. He spends the two months he is AWAL to heal and start planning a way to save Jezebel from Alexis, Jezebel’s father and the leader of Delilah.
Cassian doesn’t show up again until half way through the 8th Manga when the protagonist, Cain Hargreaves, falls into the London sewers and runs into Cassian. Cassian agrees to guide him to a place just under Delilah’s tower and the two break in together, each with their own motive, Cassian’s being to save Jezebel. They break through the wall right when Jezebel steps in the way of an assassination attempt on his father’s life and gets shot. While Cassian does save him from a long fall off a terrace, he can’t help the doctor’s fatal bullet wound.
To help his half-brother Cain who is lost in the tower, Jezebel gives Cain’s servant, Riff, his blood by slitting his throat. Since Riff is a re-animated corpse thanks to Alexis, this is the only way for Riff to have enough strength to find Cain; however, this causes Cassian to lose the only thing he had left: saving Jezebel from his father. After Jezebel dies, Cassian buries him in a forest with the animals the doctor loved so much.
The last time Cassian is seen is after a lot of time has passed in the “epilogue” when we view him visiting Jezebel’s grave and talking to him.
His pull point will be a few weeks after his brain transplant.
Personality:
Due to Cassian’s history, he has a severe distrust of people and always expects the worst from them. He has no tolerance for those who consider themselves “higher” then others and has a total disregard for social ranking. Since he grew up in a society that turned it’s back on him, he’s really given up on the entire system, and prefers a life in the shadows.
Although it’s true he has no interest in anyone, and generally holds no respect for others, it is unfair to say Cassian is heartless. There are some cases where Cassian has been proven wrong about a person and does develop respect for them. It’s a rare occurrence, but there are times when someone will push into his heart and that person will remain extremely important to him. These people and relationships he becomes very protective of and would do anything for them.
When Cassian is faced with an issue or a problem he needs to solve, he’ll focus on it and do everything in his power to fix/solve it. However, the one thing he won’t do is ask for help. His pride is the only thing he had left to hold on to when he was rejected by society, s it still plays a big part in his actions and decisions. If he is faced with a problem he can’t solve, the only thing he’d do is ask advice, and even then only from someone who he trusts.
At Cass’ pull point, he’s still weary of others and is quicker to judge than trust, but he trusts and cares for Jezebel.
Other:
>Cassian’s a knife thrower, a skill he learned from his past in the circus. He also is a very skilled assassin, something he learned and developed through his work in Delilah. His skills would involve being able to sneak around undetected, a thorough knowledge of places on a body that would kill someone quickly, excellent reflexes, and how to handle various short bladed weapons.
>I played Cassian here before, as seen in the links I will provide for the first person sample, however, it was his original form, though the differences, at his canon point, are small.

Third Person:
He didn’t know what he was still doing here, kneeling beside this hunk of stone, this grave. He had said his bit, he had placed the single flower on the grass, now he just needed to leave, move on until it was time to visit again.
But he wouldn’t move, he didn’t want to move. It had been getting harder and harder to leave each time he visited, it was starting to reach the point where he couldn’t come by or he’d be here for hours. Sometimes he anticipated it and brought something to do, something to work on. Sometimes he brought nothing and just sat beside the cold stone, enjoying the same environs the man who he visited had once enjoyed.
Sometimes he wished he could just sit there peacefully forever, never having to think about what the next day would bring, if he could actually continue in a life where his only goal was to keep living as long as he could. Here he didn’t need to think of others, or the small work he could find, or even his past. It was the one place where only the present mattered.
Had he thought too deeply into the matter he would have laughed at the utter irony of his situation. It probably said something if the only way one could enjoy their present was to spend time with a dead guy from their past. But, irony aside, he didn’t mind the situation at all, in fact he liked it.
With a heart that felt lightened and weighted by his visit, he finally stood. He placed a hand on the stone and shut his eyes, making the same promise he always did; to live both of their lives with the body the doctor had given him.
“Good-bye, doc.” Was the only thing he could say as he departed for the dirty, grimy, and dark, ‘real world’ that awaited him.

Re: PENDING: REVISIONS
So, this thing again, huh? What's the point of even having this little 'community' anyway? It doesn't change anything, people are no different...out there or whatever than they are here. What's the point in talking to them?
There's no such thing as friends.
