The Hound - ORIGINAL SCI-FI AUDIO DRAMA
Johnny Penney for Defector Cain
Major role.
Our antagonist and the subject of great speculation, Caleb Cain is a confused and scared young man who spent his formative years as the violent arm of Anima after being forcefully adopted by the company. After the death of his partner and subsequent abandonment by his mentor Cassius, he disappeared from the company and dropped off the face of the earth. Now that he's finally back, he's hell bent on getting revenge, and sometimes he can even convince himself he actually wants it.
Vocal properties: Early-mid 20s, Male, British, forced gruff voice. Teeters between stoic mockery and complete breakdown, always in motion, feels like a ticking time bomb.
Cain is very much playing a character. He tries to fit this stoic, self-assured role, complete with a put-on gruff quality to his voice- almost like a cowboy from an old film- but his precarious mood often threatens this. At times of great stress, the character drops, and he oscillates between listless, tearful, and manic. This isn't to say he isn't a threat, the man was raised as an enforcer, and he's got no reason to start holding back now.

(To Cassius, furious to despair, spluttering, losing it) I’m saying, I’m telling you it is! You come back for me now. Now! Any point in the past three years- you left me on my own- any time you could’ve come to find me- on my own- I’d always looked up to you- I haven’t seen you since before she- you left me on my…
