Characters

Raziel

Resurrected to Kain as a Son and a Lieutenant of his Army, Raziel is really a Sarafan Warrior whose tomb Kain raided. Kain resurrected Raziel and the other Sarafan buried with him, and made them his "sons," who were to help him rule his empire of Nosgoth. Raziel, unfortunately, evolved before his master Kain did (Raziel grew wings at the beginning of the first game), and was thrown into the Lake of the Dead, destined to burn in the lake for all eternity. By some luck, however, the Elder God, a giant squid who dwells within the Abyss of the Lake, saved Raziel, giving him new life, and the ability to absorb the souls of his defeated enemies. This is how Raziel became the Soul Reaver.

Kain

Kain, born to nobel parents, and thinking himself invincible, became a vampire after being murdered by robbers. When Kain was resurrected, he found himself to be a vampire (see Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain on Playstation.) At first, Kain made a decent attempt at healing Nosgoth by destroying the corrupt socerers who were poisoning it. But Kain became power hungry, and decided to rule Nosgoth rather than save it. He resurrected Raziel and the other Sarafan Warriors as his "sons" to help him rule this land.

Moebius

Moebius is the controller and watcher of Time. He controls the Time Portals, which Kain is using to jump between eras. He is a deceitful little man, with an agenda of his own. He is not to be trusted. (Named after the Moebius Theory of course.)

Vorador

An ancient vampire that roams the land which Raziel first finds himself in. Raziel feels that someone is watching him the whole time he is there, and later encounters Vorador outside of the Dark Forge.

Ariel

She is the Balance Guardian who was murdered. She now haunts the Pillars of Nosgoth.

Elder God

He is the giant squid from the first Soul Reaver. He is both Raziel's savior, and his executioner. He saved Raziel from the Lake of the Dead by transforming his broken body into its new, soul devouring form, forever condemning Raziel to walk lands of Nosgoth, searching for the remaining vampires.

Janos Audron

An ancient vampire, and the 10th Gaurdian of the Pillars. He is the only Gaurdian still living. He explains Raziel's destiny to him, and how the Soul Reaver was forged.
