Raised in the 1960's in  Miami, by age 16 Caine had experienced a lifetime: Civil Rights marches, Cuban freedom fights, violent race riots, and the rise of drug culture.

His mother, a single parent in a time that did not favor such a definition of family, taught Caine that sternght resided in your mind, not your hand. Though she was demanding, her love protected him until she was killed by a drug dealer that she stood up to. At 17, while other teenagers were learning to disco, Caine set out to help the police find her killer. By the time the murder was sentenced to life, Caine knew he had found his calling " to protect his city.
Caine entered the Police Academy after high school, but quickley discovered that the beat left him bored. When he realized that the evidence-cracking CSIs were the peolpe who actually solved the crimes, he enrolled in the university and four years ;ater, Chemisrty degree in hand, he was a Level 1 Criminalist with the Miami-Dade Ploice Department.
Rising quickly through tranks, Caine grew frustrated with departmental bureacracy and threatened to quit. Al Humphries came to his rescue by offering to train him as his second-in-command with the Bomb squad. Humphries became the father-figure Caine never had.
When Megan Donner stepped down as head of the Crime Lab, Ploice Cheif asked Caine to take over. Although he had thrived as a member of the Bomb Squad, Caine missed what had drawn him to police work in the first place "scienc of catching the bad guy" He accepted the postion.

A three-dimensional thinker, Caine can rapidly understand how pieces fit into a puzzle. He knows that science ultimately provides the solution, but he also knows that there is more to crime-solving then blood spatter and DNA. When it comes to protecting his city Horatio doesn't just trust science he trusts his gut.
