OVERALL
He's a charismatic, smooth talking son of a gun. The man could con the devil out of his soul most likely. Charming people is his specialty so to speak. Words just drip like honey off that tongue of his and he can have a whole room full of people feeding out of his hand by the end of the night. It's a skill he's honed to perfection over the many centuries he's walked upon this earth and only one of the many qualities that makes him such a great con man. Women especially never seem to fail to succumb to such tactics, drinking in the seductive glances and flirtatious words he so smoothly sends their way.
There is one person in the world Dominic Caine cares about and that is Dominic Caine. Looking out for number one is pretty much what he does best really. And he'll play whoever he has to like an instrument if he thinks he stands to gain something from it in the end. If it requires him to play the doting lover or trusted friend he can do that and do it well, too well really. Whatever role he needs to take on to get where or what he wants. And once he gets there the poor victim of his ruse ends up tossed to the side like a paper bag. Soulless bastard this one.
Dark, light he really doesn't give a rats ass what side wins. All that matters is which one he stands to gain the most from in the end. Power and money, that's what most important. It doesn't matter to him how many people he might have to hurt or betray on the way there either.

OVERALL
Born in the year 1148 A.D., he was born into a family of Romani, or as the modern world calls them, gypsies. They weren't really known by either of those names until a hundred and fifty some odd years later once they entered Europe but the title has stuck since then and it's one he's rather proud to bear. You might say it is a rather perfect heritage seeing as gypsies have been given the reputation of thieves and tricksters for centuries. As was common Dominic's parents were married quite young, barely seventeen years old at the time. Five years passed before they were finally blessed with a darling little boy. Five years later another baby was born, a little girl thus making them a happy family of four.
They all lived quite happily with the rest of their family in what you might call something of a caravan, with parents and aunts and uncles and cousins making up the majority. Traveling from town to town, putting on shows and selling their crafts, whatever they could to bring in enough money for food and supplies. A simply life but a happy one from what Dominic can remember.
He was twelve when he first began to realize he was different than the other children he lived with in the camp. He could see things, colors, floating around people that changed and grew brighter at times. And their thoughts were like spoken words in his mind. For a couple of years he didn't talk about it, afraid he'd be considered a bad omen by the elders and sent away from the clan. One night however, he was talking to his father and without meaning mentioned something he'd heard his father thinking about earlier that day. Knowing that was not something he'd told anybody else the older man had immediately questioned him as to how he'd known that and Dom had eventually confessed to his abilities.
Instead of appearing shocked at this news his father had given a sorrowful look, almost as if he already knew and then thanks to his gifts (or curse, whichever the case may be) was suddenly flood with images from years earlier. The inability to bear children was looked upon as a curse from the gods by their people and when four years had passed without them being able to conceive his father had taken things into his own hands. There were plenty of superstitions and old wives tales in their little community about making deals with the devil and after finding out more about the stories, his father had stumbled across a rite that proved to be no tale after all. At first he'd tried to sell his own soul in return for a child but the devil had refused and instead promised the couple two children as long as he could have one child's soul. Seeing no other option his father had agreed and as promised they'd been given two children. And also as promised one had been born without a soul.
Feeling hurt and betrayed that his parent's had agreed to such a deal, he ran away that night and never went back. He's been on his own since then and learned that the only way to survive was by looking out for yourself and only yourself. Learning quite early on that his abilities gave him an advantage over people he soon became a master con artist. What had at first been used to survive soon became something of a profession once he got older and he traveled from country to country, leaving a trail of broken hearts and once wealthy man with nothing to their names. Needless to say he has plenty of money from such ventures, all stored in various places that he can access whenever he might have the need.
