So there's the old school Changelings, who awaken and fight back Banality. Then there's the newer ones, that get taken and broken and put back together, and have to find their way home again.

Kain's the latter. Golbez was an agent of a True Fae that was said to reside on the moon. He took the injured, jealous, angry dragoon away to Arcadia, and his master reshaped his mind and body. He's a Draconic Fairest now, still a fine fighter, but gifted with supernatural grace and fleetness and charm. Most can't see through the Mask that makes him look like a normal man, but those that can will see silver-blue scales rather than skin, horns curling back atop his head, and talons rather than fingernails.

(I am a pretentious dingus, yes yes...)
