History:

Born to indentured servants of a fire nation noblewoman, he was groomed to be the perfect killer from a young age. As a small child Kage was separated from his parents and placed in a very strict learning environment. Whenever Kage would speak when it was not needed he was beaten. Whenever he would disobey his masters they would beat him more. As a result Kage devolved a strong introverted personality. He excelled at learning and by the time he was seven, Kage began training to become an assassin.

His training included stealth, unarmed martial arts, weapon training, disguise, poisoning, physical conditioning, and deception among many things. He was a prodigy and already had taken his first life at the age of twelve. He pass much attention to the comings and goings in his mistress's court, and began to learn the dance of politics. He thought his world would never change... Until he met a young fire nation noblewoman named Otoko at the age of sixteen. Otoko taught him to look at the stars and dream of a better world where he was free to choose his own fate. Kage risked his very life as often as he could to find ways to meet with Otoko and they slowly fell in love.

However this was not to last, after one to many nights out Kage was spotted leaving the estate and was followed to his nightly destination. After reporting back to heir mistress she had another one of her assassins poison Otoko to have her stop clouding her weapon's head. The next night when Kage entered Otoko's room it was empty, sneaking around he overhead some guards talking about how Otoko had fallen gravely ill, and he desperately looked around the compound to find her and when he finally did he recognized the symptoms being that of the Jaded Tortoise Toxin which was known to cause a slow and painful death and he looked into her eyes and knew that he had come to late and she died. His face darkened and he slowly left the building, he whispered "I will avenge you." And thus he tried to sneak back into the estate and was almost immediately caught and apprehended by the Noblewoman's bodyguards, who where expecting him, and Kage was to be put back through "re-education" he pretended to accept his fate before grabbing the wrist of one of the guards grabbing him and twisting it towards the outside of his body causes him to double over at which point Kage curls his free hand into a fist and hammers it into the other guard's solar plexus (causing him to double over in pain). With both guards now doubled over and one of them in a wristlock, Kage then forms two ridge hands, and with a swift strike, knocks out both the guards. Kage then grabs one of the guard's shortswords and runs at the Noblewoman. Almost immediately he hears a fooming sound and somersaults to avoid a jet of flames directed at him by the noble's remaining bodyguard. During his somersault Kage uses his right hand to draw a throwing knife from his legging, keeping it concealed from his opponent. He then waits as the firebender takes in a large breath and then he throws the dagger at the bender, distracting him he then closes the distance with the shortswords before the bodyguard had time to recover, the firebender then tried to hit Kage with a front snapkick with flames trailing behind, Kage in turn then faded to the right and sliced the artery located in the inside of the thigh. Leaving his opponent to bleed out on the floor for a couple of seconds before approaching the Noble that took Otoko away from him. He then slowly walked to the queen and pulled from one of his pockets in his suit a small vail which he then coated the shortsword with. "It's Jaded Tortoise." He said nonchalantly, walking slowly towards her... He muttered "One for one" before stabbing her in her arm and leaving her their to die.

After his murder of the noblewoman he had once served, Kage had to go underground and thus began to take contracts as a way of paying the bills. He will take almost any job, however he would never take jobs that include killing innocent women. He worked this way for a while until her heard about the Republic City Citizenship program and about the crime rate over there and he figured it wouldn't be hard to get some good contracts over their without having a noble family devoting most of their wealth to killing you.
