Cain Forrester was born to Mary and Jonathon Forrester of New Osaka, on Mars. New Osaka was a small town and Cain managed to keep to himself regardless. As a boy and teenager, he mostly remained indoors and read a lot of historical records while playing an old form of entertainment called "Video Games."

He had a single relationship with a girl named Alisha Crank in high school. It was strenuous since both were equally lazy and eventually it was broken up after graduation when Cain left to go to Starfleet Academy, when she decided to remain in stagnation in New Osaka. For some reason, afterward, he found himself unable to talk to women. This has never been completely explained.

The Academy was a place that Cain showed both his brilliance, and the fact that he's an utter slob. Even so, he passed by the skin of his teeth. Even still, he was noticed by the Trill Science Institute and asked to continue his studies. After a year, he was nearly kicked out. Following his studies there, he moved on to serve in the fleet.

In 2379 he was assigned to the Nebula-class explorer USS V'Thoran. It was here that he started to earn a reputation as the Laziest Man on the Ship. After about a year, he was passed on to Starbase 11. While he continued his excellence along the lines of his work, he continued to fail inspection after inspection.

The USS Farragut was no different. However, near the end of his service rotation on the Farragut, the ship was to investigate an Archaeological Site on a remote world in Cardassian space. A small splinter cell of the former Obsidian Order had holed up there and killed the archaeologists at the site. They captured the Initial Away team, and tortured them. Cain lost his left forearm, then assisted the rest of the Away Team in escaping after he himself escaped. In a career with no useful choices in sight, he suddenly found himself as a half-pip and a choice of whatever ship he wanted. For some reason he picked the USS Galaxy.
 
Cain is a very laid back man. A total slacker. Lazy, messy, eccentric, and highly intelligent. His mind is a literal library or historical and temporal knowledge. The unfortunate part is that this library has a bad, lazy librarian.

He's a bit of a practical joker having a large number of unrecorded reprimands.

As for his confidences and interpersonal ethics, mostly he's a pretty friendly and helpful guy when he actually gets around to interacting with people. His laziness is occasionally broken by bouts of feverous activity. This is usually expended while at work, usually researching historical records or writing reports.

His main personality flaw in social interaction is a total lack of confidence and self-esteem when talking to women. He is also incredibly nervous to the point of stuttering and nervous shakes.

In confrontations, Cain is completely avoidant. He can't stand confronting someone, instead looking for indirect and devious forms of "resolving" conflicts. As a result, he usually makes them worse.
 
In 2381, the Farragut was assigned to an Archaeological Expedition of a previous uncharted world in deep Cardassian Space. Remnants of the cardassian intelligence agency named the Obsidian Order attacked the expedition and took prisoners, Cain included. During captivity, Cain lost his entire left forearm, up to and including his elbow. Upon escape his left arm was replaced with a bionic one up to and including the elbow. It's slightly defective since for a time he attempted to service it himself and after numerous failures it is permanently damaged and he has given up on trying to fix it, which may require him to completely replace it. The specific damaged function is that occasionally his hand will twitch and vibrate for several seconds than completely stop working for a few minutes.

Cain is also an antique collector, primarily old Electronics from the 20th and 21st centuries on Earth. Most of them are lost in the clutter of his quarters though.
