Cane is the biological son of Colin Atkinson and Genevieve Atkinson. Cane had one sister, Samantha Atkinson and a twin brother Caleb Atkinson. He is also the father of Sam Ashby. Cane was a bartender at Indigo , Neil Winters ' nightclub.
An Australian national, Cane remained in the United States beyond the expiration of his visa and was fearful of being deported. Shortly thereafter he became involved with Amber Moore. She later found out that Cane was trying to find his birth mother. He was adopted by a woman named Violet, who died shortly after, and then raised by Violet's brother, Langley Montgomery.
At the same time, Amber was also trying to track down Jill Abbott 's son who had been switched with another child by Katherine Chancellor shortly after his birth. She realized that Cane might be Jill's son and tried to capitalize on that by marrying him. Amber and Cane went to Las Vegas where she got him drunk and tricked him into thinking they got married by marrying her girlfriend posing as the male Cane when Cane was passed out drunk.
In February , it was revealed that Amber's suspicions were correct. Additionally, the revelation that Cane was Jill's son prevented his deportation since he was a native-born U. Cane and Amber got used to being married, and eventually moved onto the Chancellor estate.
Katherine also offered Cane an executive position in the construction division of Chancellor Industries , which he accepted.
