Cassidy Cain

"The purpose of laws is to protect the people. If those laws fail to do so, I reject them. And I'll surpass them. Since scum like Deus and others have no issues making their own rules, neither shall I. If that makes me a criminal, so be it. I believe the saying goes 'It takes a thief to catch a thief.' If that's the case, I'll be that thief. And since I'll beat every single thief that comes my way, I'll claim the title of the world's greatest thief!"
