As my evolution continued, my true destiny was revealed. I am neither the Vampire champion nor the Hylden champion- it was my fate all along to become a rare pepe.
Adventure time, Come on kill your friends, We’ll go to a gloomy Nosgoth land, Kain the vampire, and Raziel the soul reaver, The future is predestined, Its Legacy of Kain!
““It’s not often I see one of our own, especially one as young and foolish as yourself. Nonetheless, drink. Drink deep and indulge your gift.” – Vorador
The Legacy of Kain Wiki team is extremely saddened to report the death of Paul Lukather, the voice actor of Vorador and Bane. Paraphrased from our article: Paul’s career spanned over half a century’s worth of roles on film and television. Throughout the years, he appeared in series such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Get Smart, Mission: Impossible, Starsky and Hutch and Cheers, and starred or co-starred in 1960s films Dinosaurus!, Hands of a Stranger and The Way West. He also maintained a presence in stage acting and engaged in philanthropic work.
Lukather was among the six voice actors in the original Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. The cast impressed series creator Denis Dyack and writer Ken McCulloch, and Lukather’s part, Vorador, emerged as “one of the most popular characters” judging from fan-mail following the game’s release. He reprised his role for three of the four further Legacy of Kain games. Richard Lemarchand described Vorador as a “fan favourite.” Rightly so; we will never forget his masterfully imposing performance as the elder vampire, the “father figure” to Kain himself. Paul died in October of last year, aged 88.
“Once I embraced my powers, I realized that Vorador was correct. We are gods – dark gods – and it is our duty to thin the herd.” – Kain
R.I.P. Paul Lukather 1926-2014“
More can be found about Paul and his career on Wikipedia, IMDb and our ownarticle, but needless to say this is very sad news for all of us and we hope you will join us in extending our condolences.
Raziel revisits the subterranean Pillars grotto after having been propelled over a century into Nosgoth’s ghastly future. He is shocked to discover how the Elder God has encroached into the chamber - its tentacles wind chokingly around the shattered Pillars, and the room’s murals have been nearly obliterated by the passage of its
grasping limbs.
The Elder God greets Raziel disdainfully -
Elder God:
Raziel, the failed assassin.
You had Kain at your mercy but lacked the courage to fulfill the act.
And now you see the wasteland wrought by the tyrant’s hand. By
his selfish decision to preserve his own life, even when it meant
sacrificing the whole world.
This is the fate of Nosgoth, as long as Kain remains alive.
Raziel:
An ironic condemnation, given this guilty scene.
One would think you’d torn down the Pillars single-handedly.
What are you trying to obliterate as you drag your loathsome body through this chamber?
And why, as Nosgoth descends into madness and misery, do you appear to thrive? Things in this world, I am learning, are rarely what they seem.
You, apparently, are no exception.
Elder God:(angrily)
I am the Engine of Life, the source of Nosgoth’s very existence.
I am the hub of the Wheel, the origin of all Life, the devourer of Death.
Raziel:
… or maybe you’re just hungry - could it be as simple as that?
Wouldn’t that be poetic irony? The great adversary of the vampires turns out to be the biggest parasite of them all.
Elder God:
Do not test my patience, Raziel.
I made you, and I will unmake you if I become so inclined.
Raziel: (mocking)
As your agent, I am beyond death.
Elder God:
There are fates worse than death, Raziel.
Raziel responds with disgust -
Raziel:
Oh, I see you now as you truly are.
A cancer - a spooling parasite burrowed deep in the heart of this world.
Elder God:(ominously)
Go now.
Play out your pitiful rebellion, and take your place among the destroyed, the used and the damned.
But know this - you are mine for eternity.
You have always been, and will always be, my soul reaver…
