Kaime Barn

Kaime Barn (カイム・バーン) was the eldest son of the Liberator Laus Barn. Following His father's defection from the Holy Church, he and his younger brother Selm were tasked to kill him.

Appearance
Kaime was a young boy with blond hair that is parted on one side. After becoming an apostle hybrid, Kaime's hair had turned white.

Personality
Kaime presented himself a devout follower of the Holy Church and its teachings. He viewed anyone that goes against it as a heretic, including his own family.

Kaime was prideful to the point of acting arrogant. He had a short temper and was unable to resist responding whenever he was taunted.

After he and his brother Selm were liberated from the church by Laus, the two of them began to reconsider their faith, and decided to take their father's words to heart about living for their own sake, rather that living to serve their god Ehit.

Background
Kaime was the first son born to the influential Barn family in the Elbard Theocracy. As a child, he and his younger Selm were already inducted into the Holy Church.

Chronology
When Laus was preparing to escape the church with his family to join the Liberators, Kaime and the rest of their family were present when his youngest brother Sharm was being imprisoned and tortured by Ehit's apostle Hearst, in order to brainwash him into being one of their followers. Sharm, however, managed to resist Hearst's brainwashing magic, and escaped along with Laus and a guard working for the Barn family Reinheit Ashe.

After Laus' defection, both Kaime and Selm were among those tasked by the church to track down and kill him.
