BLEET'S PROFILE

finding avel's bloody wolf form first, or finding avel's bloody half-human form first?

Avel does say he's tricky, and Cayne's monologuing also shows how he just likes to screw with people and kind of gets off on it too. If anything, the dude is pretty unpredictable. He appears out of nowhere and seemingly helps the village for a good time, maintains this perfect if a little bumbling guise as a happy-go-lucky huntsman, defends the village in one ending before abandoning it, appoints Lenora as his apprentice and spends years hunting with her while she's none the wiser in another ending, or goes on a full-on rampage when he's discovered by her and kills her. All of the endings where he clearly lives, he does end up killing his brother by himself. And in the ending where he "dies" to the wolf, he could have just run away after Lenora killed his brother, or continued to screw with the remaining pack.

At the end of the day, Cayne is dangerous and unpredictable and probably only keeps it together in his sane endings because he got to kill his brother like he wanted, but he isn't evil incarnate because he: subtly warns Lenora to stay out of his business instead of turning on her on the spot, if she agrees to stay the night at his cabin it's completely without incident, he doesnt slaughter the villagers in a sane ending, and he seems perfectly fine with Lenora tagging along with him for years without incident. Dude's hard to understand on principle I guess lol
