Akatsuki Kain

Akatsuki Kain is a vampire character from Vampire Knight. A calm "Level B" vampire who rarely loses his cool, he is incredibly perceptive and frequently sensitive to others' feelings.

Akatsuki grew up within a noble family, the Kain clan, which was pro-monarchy. His family is part of what is referred to by Asato Ichijo as the "Aido faction", presumably comprised of the Aido, Souen, Kain, Toya, and other related clans. He is very close to his cousins, Hanabusa Aido and Ruka Souen, having been with them since early childhood, and has met Kaname once when they were children, but did not meet again until years later. His original intent in attending Cross Academy was to take care of Hanabusa and Ruka.

Like all aristocrat vampires, Akatsuki has accelerated healing, ages slowly and possesses superhuman reflexes, senses and strength. His unique ability is to conjure and control fire.

Kain has a muscular build and a formidable height, the tallest vampire of the Night Class bunch. He seemingly lacks the classically pale vampire complexion. He has burnt-orange eyes and brownish-orange hair. His skin tone is tanner than most Night students. Kain also wears one silver earring in the middle of his left ear and is always seen wearing his shirt unbuttoned, contributing to his reputation as 'Wild.' He has a tattoo in the shape of a flame on his left hip.

Akatsuki is a calm person who rarely loses his cool and often needs to reign in an impulsive feud between Aido and Ruka. He is incredibly perceptive and is frequently sensitive to others' feelings. His association with Aido frequently gets him into trouble despite not being directly responsible. He refers to Kaname as their 'Gang Leader.' He is also loyal and protective; the type who would never betray his friends. He reveals that he follows Kaname because Ruka does but someday he hopes to believe in himself.

Like all aristocrat vampires, Akatsuki has accelerated healing. Akatsuki also has the unique ability to conjure and control fire.
