Georgiy Kain

Pathologic 2=

Georgiy Kain (Георгий Каин) is the head of the Kain family and the town's judge.

Description
"A judge, philosopher and thinker, but above all, a Smith, a Sculptor. Following Simon’s death, he’s become the main embodiment of the Kain idea, the builder and creator: the Crucible is his crucible. This is why we see him in his workshop, engaged in quite literal sculpting; this is why he’s dressed like an architect. He has the large hands of someone who works with stone and clay. This is, of course, symbolic: as a rock can be turned into a statue by chiseling away the unnecessary, so can a human be turned into a superhuman."

- From the game's design documents

Georgiy Kain unconcerned with simplicity, instead preferring to look to the intangible for answers. He adored his brother and his ideas, continuing to cultivate them ever after Simon's passing. He sees humans not as static individuals, but as potentials of a unlocked greatness.

Background
As one of the patriarchs of the Kain family Georgiy Kain had a hand in the creation of the Town's buildings and architecture. He became the Town's Judge and oversaw, and continues to oversee, the possession of the Town's houses.

Haruspex Route
"My path was called '"Necrology."' Few can survive the trial of death… I did everything I could so that a handful might pass the test."

As the Town's Judge Georgiy Kain became the defacto owner of Isidor Burakh's House following Isidor Burakh's death and prior his son's arrival. Georgiy later returns the home to the Haruspex prior to outbreak of the Sand Plague.

Georgiy Kain is among The Ruling Families, and therefore contributes to the organisation of the Town's funds and systems to combat the outbreak. Georgiy is most of all concerned for the safety of the two Stamatin brothers: Peter Stamatin and Andrey Stamatin who he insists have minds that unlike anyone in the world. Georgiy generally seems to be less concerned with the plague than with the continuing existence of the Town and, more importantly, the Polyhedron.

In the Diurnal Ending Georgiy Kain can be seen with Eva Yan and Victor Kain, overlooking the river. He is planning to cross it and build a new settlement on the other side.

In the Nocturnal Ending Georgiy flees the unfamiliar Town with many of the Utopians and Humbles.

Georgiy Kain (Георгий Каин) is the head of the Kain family by the start of the first day. He is currently the oldest member of the family.

Description
He has an unsettled and nervous mind—a choleric temperament. He is quick thinking, and voices only the decisively-planned end result. A harsh and authoritative man that is unforgiving of errors, and who requires complete subordination. He views his brother as both a powerful ally and beloved kin. He refers to others paternalistically, but with respect.

Georgiy, being "slightly unhinged", devotes almost all of his time to occult sciences and theories. He is considered to be a necromancer and sorcerer.

Portrait Quotes
"A potent mind to say the least. Encyclopedically educated, well versed in Mathematics and Physics, has appreciable background in Astronomy. With all that, his chosen field of study is decidedly occult. And it is impossible to disregard how successful he is at that. However awkward it may appear at a first glance, the quotidian and the numinous often complement each other very well."

- Yulia Lyuricheva's take on him

"Georgiy is no successor to Simon. Semblance in appearance doesn't necessarily imply internal likeness. Kain is too deranged to be a good ruler. Were he, say, to rule our country, he would have turned it into some kind of theocracy."

- Alexander Saburov's take on him
