appearance:

Spoiler:

special abilities:

While Raziel was a vampire he possessed the usual vampiric abilities that all of Kain's descendants have; limited telekinesis, inhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, physical resistance, and a healing ability. When Raziel became a wraith his vampiric physical attributes remained (aside from the healing ability) and were enhanced, along with a new ability to phase in and out of the spectral realm at will.
As Raziel traveled Nosgoth and killed his brothers, he gained new abilities from consuming their souls; from Melchiah he gained the power to phase through gates in the spectral realm, from Dumah the power to generate a band of constricting energy, from Rahab he received immunity to waters burning affects on vampires, from Zephon the ability to stick to rough surfaced walls in the material realm. Deep within the burial tomb of the Sarafan, Raziel encountered a Turelim (his brother Turels offspring), after he defeated him, he gained the power to project telekinetic force blasts.

weapon(s)/ styles: Claws, Fangs

Bio/Story:

Appx. 540 years before Kains time the Human Raziel, along with four other Sarafan Lieutenants, killed the vampire Janos Audron, and took the Heart of Darkness. On their way back to the camp they were slain by the future Raziel himself. Around 1000 years later they were risen by Kain and over the next millenium, sired vampires into clans serving under Kain. Raziel grew a pair of wings after a period of accelerated metamorphosis, accomplishing this feat ahead of Kain, who by tradition had always evolved new vampiric features first. Raziel was punished by having his wings ripped off and was cast into the Lake of the Dead. After plummeting into the Abyss, Raziel found himself in the lair of The Elder God, who convinced him to hunt Kain and his brothers down and seek revenge. Now a creature of the Spectral Realm, the alternate reality of the dead, he had lost the old taste for blood and instead sustained himself by devouring the very souls of his victims. He killed his brothers and confronted Kain several times. On the final battle Raziel had won, but Kain persuaded him to stay his sword, and listen to Kain's explanation. There were two obvious options, kill Kain and restore the pillars, but have no gaurdians, or let Kain live and damn the pillars. But Kain saw a third option, and escaped putting it into action. By distorting time in several places by his actions Raziel had realized that his soul was a parasitic entity imprisoned by the Soul Reaver when he went back and slayed himself. Kain interrupted the Soul Reaver and stopped that process. Later Raziel understood his destiny and tricked Kain into impaling him with the Reaver. Kain, shocked by what he had done, tried to free Raziel from the blade, but Raziel finally met his destiny and entered the sword willingly, preventing himself from becoming a deranged captive soul. The purified Spirit Reaver rejoined with Kain's fragmented soul, healing the gaping wound in his chest and purifying his sight. It is important to bear in mind that Raziel alone entered the Reaver Kain was carrying thus transforming it into the Soul Reaver, whereas the Spirit Reaver was dispersed into Kain himself. And Thus Raziel gave Kain the tool he needed to defeat his true enemy, the Elder God.

Accepted.

X_X please explain about your race

...You don't know what a wraith is?

V.V I always get the complicated bios...


The wraith is a being of power, controlled by a greater spirit to do the creatures will. These creatures are shadows, floating amongst our realm with no purpose but that of their masters. They feed on humans, their emotions and their own strength, without these they would cease to exist. Raziel (Legacy of Kain) is a wraith. As he was resurrected by the Elder God, he would later defy him; it seemed unbound creatures had free will. Wraiths, in this series, are the souls of vampires trapped in the immaterial realm for so long they have adapted to drain the essence of other souls.

.... I knew that... just wasn't explained as wraith ... o_o;

The elder god as you call it is named Leviathan.
