Biography

Christian Kane is one of the great legends in the intelligence community. His father, Sir Windemere Kane and his grandfather, Sir Garrison Kane all served Britian in the First and Second World Wars as operatives, in the SOE and the 1st Intelligence Division respectively. His father was killed during Operation Market Garden in 1944, and his mother had died three years earlier during an air raid, leaving Christian in the care of his grandfather.

Kane worked directly for British Intelligence in the sixties and seventies as an operative, thwarting the plans of global threats like Fin Fang Foom, Baron Zemo and the Masters of Evil. He worked with other agents, like Geogres Batroc of France, and Alejandro Montaya of Spain, and even with his regular rival in the KGB, Alexai Alanovich Shostakov. Considered the operatives' operative, even despite his great reputation in the field, Christian was still inordinately successful in countering threats to Her Majasty's government and safeguarding British interests. He showed no compunctions about killing, even innocents if needed, in order to complete his mission.

In the 80s, Christian hung up his laser watch and rocket car to take over the newly emerging Black Ops agencies of British Intelligence, leading the way for a darker and more vicious shadow war. He mentored a new wave of agents like Pete Wisdom; men closer to his own early years of the sixties, when the Cambridge Five scandal nearly crippled the Service, and a handful of semi-independent agent controllers ran vicious counter-operations to re-establish their networks. His men, most loyal to him ahead of the Service, rolled back decades of foriegn agency successes, but at a large and well hidden cost of thier lives and those of innocents.

During a stint in New York at the UN in the early eighties, Christian met Emily Cuthbert, a Far East language specialist from Canada and the two fell in love. Emily moved to London with Christian, and they had two children over the next five years. First Garrison, and four years later, his younger sister Victoria. They seperated not long after and Emily moved back to Toronto with the children. They attempted to recouncil later, but Christian's job, as well as his womanizing was too much for Emily.

Kane officially retired from the SIS in 1996, some say forcibly so, and since then has lived between his home in London and a large sailboat named 'Enigma' traveling mostly through the South Pacific. While no longer part of the Service, Kane's name still appears in occasional reports, and he continues a more clandestine service to his country. His relationship with his children is strained, especially with his son Garrison. His recent marriage to Didi Lucrelira, the twenty-four year old former secratary of the SIS Operations Chief has done nothing to help the situation.

Powers/Abilities

None. Christian is an expertly trained British operative, who has been extensively trained in inflitration, assassination, counter intelligence, martial arts, languages, and a dozen other areas. He is an expert marksman, perfering precision, low-caliber weapons that can be easily concealed. However, now in his late sixties, Christian's physical skills are no longer what they once were.
