"The Soul Reaver -- pure of all corruption -- this is what it is for. This is what I am for- The two become one - both Soul Reavers - together - and the Scion of Balance is healed. And I -- am not your enemy - not your destroyer - I am, as before, your right hand. Your sword." ― Raziel to Kain
Background[ ]
Once a vampire ( Kain's lieutenant, "prodigal son", and second-in-command), Raziel evolved to such an extent that he surpassed Kain, a transgression which seemingly prompted his execution. Cast into the Lake of the Dead, Raziel was, like Kain before him, revived by a mysterious benefactor, and returned to Nosgoth as a wraith, to exact his revenge.
Driven by this new master, the Elder God, Raziel systematically eradicated his former brethren in the wasteland of Kain's empire, obtained the Wraith Blade, and unearthed his own ironic past; originally a human born in Nosgoth's early history, he had become a leading commander in the vampire-hunting Sarafan brotherhood before his death and resurrection. Lured through time and confronted by revelations, Raziel realized his terrible, inevitable future: he was destined to become the captive, ravenous spirit trapped within the Soul Reaver – later the Wraith Blade itself. Temporarily rescued from this fate by Kain, his lust for vengeance was gradually tempered, superseded by a higher quest for knowledge and freedom.
Finally exposing the Elder God's parasitic nature through several twists and turns, Raziel ultimately accepted his fate, and achieved respite from his cyclical destiny. Dually sacrificing himself to the Soul Reaver and dispersing the Wraith Blade (his future soul) into Kain, he simultaneously trapped himself within the sword, and freed himself from thousands of years of torment. This act cleansed Kain of the corruption of the Pillars, enabling him to see, battle, and oppose the Elder God at last.
Stats[ ]
Attack Potency: City Block level (Is the second most powerful vampire of his time, only behind Kain. Kain had given Raziel most of his raw power, who from that time should be at least Building level. Raziel increases his strength by drinking blood, and he has consumed blood for 1000 years. Can indent iron effortlessly, which requires energy of 49 GigaNewtons), likely higher (the previous feat was done effortlessly, and only using his arms. He should be at least 5 times stronger if he uses his entire body and maximum effort) | Town level (The Wraith Blade is 120x times powerful than Raziel. While Raziel requires several strikes to just stun/hurt vampires, the Wraith Blade can blow them to pieces in one strike. According to calcs, you need to overcome the durability of the enemy 120 times over to do so), likely higher (The Spirit Reaver is 7 times more powerful than the Wraith Blade), Raziel ignores durability via the Wraith Blade and Soul Manipulation.
Speed: At least Supersonic+ (like a thousand year old vampire, it should be far superior to average vampires, who can dodge small cannonballs at close range). Supersonic as a Wraith (as a Wraith, Raziel lost all his vampire powers, including speed, but is still able to dodge cannonballs at close range) | Massively Hypersonic+ (Raziel is able to dodge attacks and easily defeat Lightning demons, which attack and move at lightning speed. Superior in speed to Kain in base form)
