Raziel is a central character in the Legacy of Kain franchise and the protagonist & tragic hero of the Soul Reaver story arc. The character was created by Crystal Dynamics, primarily written by Amy Hennig and voiced by the veteran voice actor Michael Bell. 
Raziel was resurrected as the most powerful of Kain's vampire lieutenants. Over time, he evolved and developed a pair of wings before his creator. For his transgression, Kain condemned him into the abyss and created the wraith creature, that sought righteous vengeance on his former master and his vampire brothers. Over the course of the series, Raziel's true destiny is revealed to be closely tied to the blade Soul Reaver. He is frequently manipulated by Kain, who wants to avoid his own destruction and use Raziel's gift of free will to save the land of Nosgoth.
