Caine the Longshot

"He's a sniper, his name is Caine."

- Nicholas D. Wolfwood on Caine

Caine the Longshot is an anime-only member of the Gung-Ho-Guns.

He replaces Livio the Double Fang as the last member of the gang.

Appearance
Caine is slim and his body is completely covered with bandages. He wears a large hat and a cloak; he wears a skull-shaped iron mask which completely covers his face but his right eye.

Personality
Cain is cold-blooded and never speaks. He is very patient as he can hide himself and wait for his targets to show up. He also is determined and not feared by death, as he chooses to commit suicide either because he failed to kill Vash or because he doesn't want to deal with Millions Knives.

Biography
Nothing is known of Caine before he shows up near Tonim. Wolfwood is shown to know his name and his ability as a sniper.

Caine walks through the desert carrying his rifle. He stops many miles outside Tonim, places his rifle and opens fire on the town aiming to Vash.

He is defeated by Vash the Stampede, who locates him thanks to the the angle of impact of his shots and the intervals between them, and destroys his rifle. This leads Caine to commit suicide to avoid having to deal with Millions Knives. After the encounter, Vash buries Caine with the remainings of his weapon.



Ability and weakness
Caine the Longshot is a mute, talented sniper who can cloak his body. He carries an oversized rifle with telescopic barrel, which spans over many metres and allows him to hit targets placed several miles away from him. He also carries a revolver.

Because of the size of his rifle, Caine cannot move when he is using it, although it is unknown how he can change the trajectory due to almost no apparent mobility of the barrel. This made it easy for Vash to locate him.
