The Elder God

==Summary==
The Elder God is one of the main antagonists from the Legacy of Kain series. He is a giant squid-like creature, described as "A mass of tentacles and eyes", with godlike powers who feeds on the souls of the dead.
Depicted as a sentient, writhing mass of tentacles and eyes dwelling deep below the land of Nosgoth, the Elder God claims to be the hub of the Wheel of Fate, the preternatural cycle of birth, death and rebirth to which all souls were drawn. However, Raziel later accused the Elder God of merely being a parasite on the Wheel, not its hub. Although this was not confirmed or denied, a consistent fact was that the Elder God was sustained by the Wheel's turning. Thus, as vampires were immortal and their souls did not flow with the Wheel, they, and especially Kain, served as his greatest enemies, with Kain eventually gaining the position of Scion of Balance, the one destined to destroy the Elder God and bring balance to Nosgoth.
