Before the Killing Game
The sole survivor of a tragic household accident, Kassian was brought into the guild of the Valentine Saints at an early age, under the guardianship of the witch Benezet. Living in such close proximity with the vigilante guild, it's no surprise Kassian developed a strong admiration for them, making it his goal to one day join their ranks. He decided early on that he would follow in the footsteps of his adoptive mother, devoting much of his time to learning the art of alchemy and taking on the title of a witch.

Years of training had eventually payed off, Kassian eventually earned his spot in the guild, and even climbed the ranks to the highest honor that could be bestowed on a vigilante, the title of a Valentine Saint. He was put on a team with Aloysius Torch, Sohla Calasanz, and their leader, Anselm. Kassian and his leader became particularly close during their time as a team, and the two of them became partners.

Kassian continued to devote himself to the guild, even after the arrest and attempted execution of his mother, something that continues to guilt him even to this day. His loyalty to Benezet stayed stronger than his loyalty to the guild, and he helped her stay in hiding out of the guild's sight for many years. She urged him to keep his spot as a vigilante, afraid of what might happen should he decide to side with her, which led to Kassian beginning to question just how pure and true this guild really could be.

After the residents of Valentine Arch disappeared, Kassian and his team worked relentless to try to figure out where they had gone, how they could be brought back, anything. Much to his teammates frustration, Kassian conducted his own searches outside of the Arch, disappearing for weeks, or even months at a time, with no results.
