Caige was born into a family of average means. His father was a cop, and his mother stayed at home to raise him and his older sister. Caige idolized his father, emulated him, wanted to become a cop as well, and for seven years he had a happy childhood. A few months before his younger sister's first birthday, his father was shot and killed while on duty.

The man who did it went to jail, and subsequently died while serving his term, and the whole incident only strengthened Caige's resolve to become an officer just like his father. As he grew older, he seemed to have a hard time finding reasons to get close to his classmates, and never made many friends, certainly never anyone he kept in touch with later on. He struggled to maintain a B average through his high school years, and he never went to college. Instead, he immediately began training to become a police officer.

Caige, though not very book smart, was quite a capable officer. He started out doing traffic work, then ended up being drafted into the homicide unit for another city entirely. It was there that he met Bradley Jamison, his new partner. They started off a bit rocky, but soon Caige found that Bradley was the closest he'd come to having a friend. The two of them worked hard and were avanced to detective around the same time. They were allowed to remain as partners and quickly became known as one of the best teams on the force.

For years, they toiled to try and bring down a man known as Ivan Rurik, who was in charge of a rather large crime syndicate. Rurik's position of power resulted in too many homicides to count, and Caige was determined to put him in jail for it, but they could never pin anything on him specifically.

In collaboration with the narcotics division, Jamison and Caige were invited to take part in an undercover operation. It was simple enough. Caige would pose as a cousin of one of the middle men. The guy would vouch for him, part of a deal struck with the man, and he would be in. Jamison would be on the other side. He was Caige's contact, the person who would go between Caige and their superior officer. No one knew about it except the two detectives and their chief of police.

They worked this way for nine months, and everything was going fairly smooth. Slow, but about as smooth a it could get for an undercover operation. But then, Jamison disappeared. Or at least, that's all that Caige could find out. In reality, his partner had been killed and the body sunk in the bay, but there was no way to be sure. Without him, Caige couldn't contact his superior. He couldn't risk it, so he waited for someone to contact him instead. Surely, the chief would assign someone else to take Jamison's place, no matter what had happened.

However, the chief retired soon after Jamison's disappearance, and the man that took his place was on Rurik's payroll, a dirty cop. No one ever came for Caige. The record of his true identity was lost somewhere in the files at the police station, and he had no detective's life to go back to.

It has been six and a half months since Jamison disappeared, and Caige is stuck living amongst the criminals he so desperately hates, having to become one of them just to survive in their world.

Attire: For his current undercover work, he's dressed quite well and stylishly. He had very nice suits, fashion-friendly casual wear. He likes dark colours, personally, but sometimes a subtle splash of colour is deemed acceptable. Most of the things he ends up wearing for his undercover persona are things he wouldn't wear normally. Before he took this assignment, he was much more casual. He enjoyed jeans and plain t-shirts, usually dark in colour. He had a long, dark brown coat that he wore almost everyday. He did dress in slacks, a button-down, and a tie for his detective job, but it was his preference to be more casual otherwise.
