The grandson of the first Arcane, Archie Kane had a modest crime fighting career in the 1980s before disappearing suddenly after a battle with the Astrologer - one of his grandfather's nemeses. He was most well known for his fights against mystic threats but never managed to break into the mainstream superhero crowd, often ridiculed as the 'Ghost Buster'. He was always a B-list hero at best.

He returned several years later as a loyal retainer of the Astrologer, seemingly bound to his former nemesis through powerful and corrupting magic. Arcane has since become the commander in charge of the various Zodiac teams across the world. He never talks about the missing years or why he is now working for the man who was credited with his demise, and it is clear that the Arcane who reappeared in the 1990s is a much darker, more disturbed man than the one who was known as the 'Ghost Buster'.

As Commander of the Zodiac Agents, Kane is ruthless and a little intimidating. He always defers to Astrologer and gives little thought to his own safety. He favours his red gem-eye when working for Zodiac within its installations and reluctantly covers it up in public. His eye was lost during his time in dimensional exile and is reported to be in the Astrologer's possession, possibly as a way to maintain his dominance over Arcane.

Arcane has inherited some of his grandfather's mystical abilities, although no where near as advanced or as diverse. During his hero days, Arcane was able to create magical handcuffs, step through space using magical stepping disks as well as a magical sense which allowed him to identify things of a magic nature.

The modern Arcane possesses a cursed gem in his left eye socket which enables him to perceive the world beyond human senses, as well as to drain a person's soul and project magical energy.

As a member of Zodiac, Arcane is able to use their advanced technology and weaponry, and usually carries an energy rifle and wears the standard Zodiac body armour.

Arcane has chalk white skin, an eye patch and a vaguely Satanic-looking tattoo on his bald head. He is not a very approachable kind of person and radiates danger. Behind his eye patch is a mystic gem called the Fire Gem Of Horus and looks like a ruby wedged into his eye socket. As the commander of the Zodiac Agents, Arcane wears a standard Zodiac uniform which is composed of a hardy body armour. The uniform is black and dark red with gold trimming and a constellation on his chest, depending on the agent's group. Arcane's constellation is simply a single star, reflecting his primary status among the agents.
