Summary

A third-person action/adventure game in which, after the events of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (1996), Kain has created a vampiric empire in the world of Nosgoth. One of Kain's children and underlings, Raziel, is disgraced and cast down by a jealous Kain after surpassing him by growing wings and woken up centuries after in a corrupted form to get revenge against his once-brothers.

Storyline

Taking place 1500 years after the events of Blood Omen, Soul Reaver chronicles the journey of the vampire-turned-wraith Raziel, lieutenant to the vampire lord Kain. Raziel is killed by Kain, but is revived by The Elder God to become his "soul reaver" and to exact revenge. Raziel shares this title with Kain's sword, the Soul Reaver, which he acquires during the game.
