Cain was an interesting demon. He had a definite presence, a sad backstory, and an awesome head of hair. Cain was a fun addition to the spn universe and here are some reasons to love and appreciate him.
- He’s one of the oldest characters on the show, one of the first humans ever and also one of the first demons ever.
- He was the first and last knight of Hell. He was created first and died last.
- He had the Mark of Cain longer than anyone else and kept it’s homicidal influence at bay the longest.
- He traded his soul for his brother, Able’s.
- His hair was awesome. Seriously. I adore the long silver locks and the beard.
- He invented murder. I’m not sure if that’s an accomplishment but it’s a thing he did.
- He fell in love with a human woman named Collette. He gave up killing and tried to be a better person for her and didn’t attempt to avenge her death because he promised her he wouldn’t.
- He picked up killing again because….
the plot demanded it?he just couldn’t hold it back anymore. His solution was to kill anyone who ever came from his line which was a pretty high level of brutal and basically needless. (Not a reason to appreciate him, per say but I had to mention it as an edit to the previous point because someone what gonna.) - Master of unimpressed-while-drinking-beer-and-shucking-corn face.
- He read Dean like a book, pointing out how Dean would probably kill the three most important people to him in the reverse order that he did.
- He’s got one hell of a presence.
- He kept bees. Cool hobby and good for protecting bees and the flowers!
- He wrecked a whole room full of demons.
- He as super neat powers. Making Crowley silent was a really neat trick.
- Cain was a super interesting demon. Despite inventing murder and taking on the Mark, he was able to live a relatively peaceful life for a while because a promise he made to his dying wife. He was definitely fun to have around.
