Lord Cad Bane wasn't always the person you'd imagine he was. Lord Bane was once a bounty hunter. For a time, he had no work. Finally, he did get work, in the hands of the outlaw deemed Captain Leon. He worked as a bounty-hunter for Captain Leon for about half of the war between Leon and Lord Marshal Samuel Redbeard. Finally, he decided to join the Lord Marshal. There, he became a loved EITC Lord. In fact, he even fell in love with the beautiful Elizabeth. He founded his guild, Co. Republic, and quickly became Chairman of the EITC Board of Directors.
