Kain Blade (カインブレード Kain Burēdo) is one of the playable characters in Golden Axe: The Duel.
Story[]
Orphaned by the war and found by a famous warrior, Kain Blade learned the art of swordsmanship from an early age. When his patron died attempting to save another child from fire, Kain could not accept the way his master died. Kain's whole life had been devoted to perfecting his combat skills; death by other than combat was unimaginable.
Seen as a Samaritan by some, a meddler by others, Kain has taken to wandering the various provinces to help those in need. He seeks the Golden Axe in the hopes to unite the provinces of the continent and end the diabolical plans of his enemies, Zoma and Keel. They will try to stop him, but Kain is determined to win.

Notes[]
- Although his role as a barbarian is similar to Ax Battler, it's unknown if Kain Blade is a descendent from the three original Golden Axe protagonists like Milan Flare and Gillius Rockhead.
- Despite his unknown lineage, some players speculate that he may be a descendent of Sternblade due to the similar name.
