Biography:
Once he was lost. He was in a world he did not belong, in a family that he could not feel a part of. Born in St Georges hospital, in Tooting Bec, South West London. He was drinking alcohol at five years old, smoking at six and was hooked on Heroin by the time he was eight. Educated in the belief that Caucasians were the supreme race, all others nothing by scum, a stain on the world that needed to be eliminated. Sexual orientation, women, everyone was below them.

When he was ten years old, he received his first permanent marking from his family. When he was thirteen his doubts of the life became too much to ignore and he had began to question why. He did not ask his family, no to ask his family would have had him punished. So he simply watched people in life, no one seemed to care who someone else was, what they looked like and it was a world he found himself wanting to be a part of.

Three months later, he ran from the cult, from his family, from his home and swore not to return. Life on the streets was harsh, he did not know how to survive, he moved from being lost amongst his family to being lost in the world. It was an old Caribbean man who had taken him under his wing, helped teach him how to get by. But his family had found him, found him and the kindly Caribbean man too quickly. What they did to the old man…today it is still something that haunts his dreams, not as bad as it did, but it is something he will never get over.
Kaige was held, his arm put over a fire, his forearm cooked as he refused to swear allegiance to them again, but it was too much, he broke and gave in, he betrayed the memory of the Caribbean man and his kindness.

He was fifteen when he escaped again, this time permanently. He fought against what he knew, fought the addictions of the drugs and alcohol, fought to survive on the streets and finally when he was twenty he cut a break. He made it into a hostel, from there into a minimum wage job and unused to luxuries, he managed to even build up some savings. But because of his past, he kept himself closed off from others, keeping to himself, relying only on himself, never making friends, never socialising.

For another five years, he moved from job to job, eventually getting pushed out for his oddness and one day when he was in the library, he came across a book on Dublin, finding himself with an urge to move there. He was not a traveller, the idea of moving ignored, but it grew, grew to the point where he could not ignore it and eventually he gave into the urge and moved to Dublin.

It was there that he met Penny, a kind hearted woman who soon became the love of his life, she saw past the tattoos that he bore in shame, saw past his history and not so much broke through his barriers but found a way inside him to his heart. He actually dared to be happy until his brother and his brother’s best friend arrived in Dublin, they took Penny, they wanted him back. But he and Bast, Penny’s twin brother found them. Kaige faced his brother and unleashed everything upon him and in his fury stabbed him to death.

He and Penny then moved to Spain, to join Bast and his life partner Dante. They were just starting out with a flat given to them by Dante, he even had a job working for him in his shop of glass figurines.
Then the full moon came and Penny shifted into a tiger. It was that night where Kaige was turned also. They returned back to Ireland for a while after being unable to find family in the Streak in Spain and now they have moved to Seattle. Penny to chase her dreams of music, him to be American liaison to Vincent, his new employer to see to interests over here in America.
