Khan

Kaspar Kain, better known as Khan, is the son of Victor and Nina Kain and the younger brother of Maria. At the time of the epidemic, he has been living in the Polyhedron, rather than in the Crucible, the Kain family mansion. In the Polyhedron, he is an uncrowned prince and the leader of the Dogheads.

At first, he supported the family wholeheartedly. For example, the Dogheads explain that Maria can come to the Polyhedron whenever she pleases. But towards the end of the epidemic, when the Kains reveal their plans for the Polyhedron, he begins to oppose his family. In the Utopian ending, Maria intends to expel the children from the Tower, in order to settle a certain soul inside, and she does not forgive Khan for opposing her.

Khan also perceives the arrival of the military, led by General Block, as a threat. He sees their artillery as a threat to the Polyhedron. Khan asks the Bachelor to get a few rifles, in case they are attacked, giving the Dogheads the appearance that they are well armed and prepared to defend the Tower.

Despite the fact that Khan belongs to the family of Kain, he is a Termite and an Adherent of the Haruspex.
