He has a holy, yet sinister appearance that perfecly fits his character.
One could pull out a near infinite amount of versions and interpretations that makes for a better representation of the character than viv, all versions of The Devil from people that understands what The Devil is.
Either he fades into the background or he ends up being super evil while Cain ends up being good all along.
Cain eventually did get a wife, had a son and built a whole city named after him.
I just had to read the passage so here's the TL;DR:
The story is simple: Cain was tasked to work the soil and Abel to take care of the herd.
Cain sacrifices the stuff he cultivated, nothing happens, Abel sacrifices the fattest meat from the firstborn animals and gains God's approval, so Cain kills Abel because he finds it unfair.
He lies to God, so he's forced to leave and God brands Cain to ensure anyone who harms him shall be punished even more. After some time, he meets a wife and builds family and a whole city.
This story too is the second big reason of why I find retarded whoever tries to tell me the Genesis has to be taken in a literal sense, regardless of that, it doesn't takes too much literary skills to write down some form of redemption for Cain for a crime committed a lifetime ago, you could even paint him as a tragic figure, forced to a job that led no hope of succedding as much as his brother, witness his brother attain said success and become consumed by jealously as result.
Abel on the other side couldn't really have been evil in life, as his naive trust toward his brother resulted in his death, and was so religiously faithful that even his blood called for God.
You could write him go vengeful, almost envious and angry toward his brother after death, even blinded to the beauty surrounding him in the afterlife and furhtermore paint a distorted mirror between the two: the one that can't grow and only decay, in mind and spirit, after his own literal death and ascension as a divine-like figure, and the penitent guilty, who eventually became a good man, working and an suffering to improve the world, finding joy in his surrounding despite being eternally branded for committing the most evil of sins.
I don't know if it's just me being good at writing, my writing skills being powered up by bile and hatred or this shit is just easier to write down than it looks, regardless this is the kind of stuff that viv misses, the point that the lowest common denominator often misses to notice and what distinguish banal storytelling from a timeless work of art.
