Cain is basically a mix of the “accidental hero” and the “reluctant hero” who fulfills his duty in his own selfish but not entirely dishonorable way either by fluke and/or by manipulation. Whilst Cain has a certain simplicity about him, Mitchell writes him with some complexity. And that includes not merely running from imminent danger but also scheming to avoid potentially unpleasant assignments. By Cain’s own admission, however, he is a coward who just wants to survive and will go to some lengths to avoid danger. To almost everyone else, Cain is a hero who is loyal, capable and, unlike some commissars, fair-minded and even caring. The stories are presented as Cain’s memoirs, obviously written in first-person. As such, this should be read as a review by someone who has a mild interest in this fictional universe. ![]() I must qualify that I am not an expert on Warhammer 40k.
