History
Cain is one of the many sons of the first man Adam as mentioned in the Abrahamic religions. He was a profiteering farmer who initiated a sibling rivalry with his brother Abel, who was a shepherd. In settling a dispute between them, God ordered the two to offer sacrifice to Him. Cain thought he would lose profits if he offered a good sacrifice, and settled with old and withered grains. God refused Cain's sacrifice and accepted Abel, which infuriated Cain who swore that he would kill the shepherd. He did so by smashing Abel's face with a rock while the shepherd was sleeping.

Seeing his brother dead, he was suddenly guilt-stricken when he thought of God's and his father's wrath. His murder is cited as the first murder committed by mankind. While trying to figure out a way to deal with his brother's corpse, he saw a raven digging the soil to bury another raven which it had fought before, which inspired him to bury his brother's body in the ground. However, the sudden disappearance of Abel and the stench of the rotting corpse caught the notice of Adam, and Cain was condemned for eternity.
