Pirate101: Kane and Able
Hello yes, I realized something, that probably others already have, but here we go.
So, everyone ( or well, Pirate101 fans ) know how rushed book 15 was, so rushed in fact they just killed Kane off.
But, stuff has ( or already had ) come out about the original concept for the book 15 and other books. And one of those things is Able, who was suppose to be this super clockwork that would go against Kane.
At first I was a bit shocked, because hello? Cool idea, why was he scrapped and so on. But, then I started to wander, “Wait, why is his name Able?” There is no chess piece called an Able ( even that’s more a Clockwork Elite thing ). And then it go me wondering, why was Kane named Kane. At first, I just thought it had to do with Kane being the king of the elite in a way. He was king of the chess board, didn’t really think much of it.
Until, I made small comment to myself, “You know if Kane name was spelled Cain-” and that’s when it hit me.
So, a little context, there is a biblical story about two brothers named Cain and Abel. In the story, Cain kills Abel.
Do you see where I’m going with this?
Kane may have be possibly based on the story of Cain and Abel was never cut from the game.
And knowing that fact, makes me even more peeved Able was cut because hello?? Perfect story-telling right there. Image all the ideas they could have done with this narrative!
Again, this all just a possibility, and Kingsisle only chose the name Able because it sounded good with Kane. Will we every know? Probably not.
