Kain (Legacy of Kain)

> "*Conscience...? You dare to speak to me of conscience? Only when you have felt the full gravity of choice should you dare question my judgment! Your life's span is a flicker compared to the mass of doubt and regret that I have borne since Mortanius first turned me from the light... To know that the fate of the world hangs dependent on the advisedness of my every deed -- can you even begin to conceive what action you would take, in my position?*"

Non-Physical Interaction (The Sword can destroy Creatures made of Shadows), With the Balance Emblem: Energy Blast & Destroy Blessed barriers (Via Balance fragment), Fire Manipulation & Empathic Manipulation (The Flame fragment causes that the blows of the sword set on fire to the enemies for a short time, Gives Kain the ability to make pyrokinesis at long distances and can also make enemies attack each other , this power even works on animated statues), Lightning Manipulation (The Lightning fragment , causes the Reaver's strikes to create a "Chain of lightning" that attacks nearby enemies and also allows "Call forth lightning from the sky to strike each enemy"), Time Manipulation (The Time fragment causes the sword strikes to slow down the movement of enemies and can slow down the time in an area), Teleportation & Damage reflection (The Dimension Fragment, allows the user to teleport and automatically attack several enemies in practically an instant. and the damage that the sword does with its blows is reflected at the nearby enemies). The Soul Reaver possesses all the power of the Reaver, with the addition of Soul Manipulation/Absorption & Statistics Amplification (The sword "Feeds on the soul of any creature that strikes" , even if there are no wounds, when the sword impaling the victim, this removes his entire soul/souls from the body and then absorbs it .

And Kain can withstand multiple impacts and suffer little damage. Kain can stand and walk on volcanic ground surrounded by lava, wearing armor without problems), Fire (Unaffected by a rain of fire), Madness Manipulation (Able to process the infinite Time-Stream which would drive any normal human mad), Fate Manipulation, Clairvoyance, Precognition and Retrocognition (Kain as the Scion Balance is a walking paradox, since he has two Soul Reavers with him, two Soul Reavers together allows "Derail History", which should give him free will as Raziel, also he should be equal to Raziel, who cannot be tracked by the Elder God or Moebius, and they can see the Time-Stream, which allows them to literally see any event/place/person/thing that they want, in the past, present and future, "they can only see the ripples of his actions... those significantly ahead or behind the event")

**Destructive Capacity:** **Room level+** with his bare hands (A Kain weakened by a 200 year coma {in Blood Omen 2} is able to pierce an iron armor and rip out a soldier's heart with his bare hands with little effort, Iron has a hardness of 490 MPa, this was calculated at 3161284 Newtons. Kain at the beginning of Blood Omen 1 should be even stronger. Kain throughout Blood Omen 1 drank from special blood fountains, and only one of these fountains, increased his strength several times, and Kain passed from being able to move rocks of a few hundred kilograms, to move rocks of several tons, which indicates an increase in strength of at least 10 times, probably more, and Kain drank from two of these fountains, i.e. Kain increased his strength 20 times. Vampires also increase their physical strength by drinking red blood, and Kain drank the blood of several hundred, probably more than a thousand humans. Between Kain increasing his strength 20 times, by drinking from the two magic blood fountains, and drinking the blood of at least several hundred, probably more than a thousand humans, Kain by the end of Blood Omen (between 1 and 2 months), would have to be around 30 times stronger than at the beginning of Blood Omen. As seen in Blood Omen 2, Kain can increase his strength several times in a few days, {Kain went from being able to do this (piercing an iron armor with his bare hands), near the beginning of the game {in the end of chapter 2}, to being able to do this (piercing an thick steel armor with his bare hands) in the middle {in chapter 5}. Between those two events, Kain killed and drank the blood of about 150 humans, as well as more than a dozen lore coffers, a single chests is like drinking the blood of several humans, it is unknown what the equivalence in human blood would be, but it seems that drinking from just one of these chests is like drinking the blood of at least 10 humans, maybe more. So to increase his strength several times, Kain needs to drink the blood of about 300 humans, and considering that Kain drank the blood of at least several hundred humans, probably more than a thousand, he should have increased his strength 10 times just by drinking human blood). **Large Building level**  with the mace (Kain using the spiked Mace at the beginning of the game, can destroy in one hit, 3 rocks of the same size, this was calculated in an energy of 98 kg of TNT, and Kain after that, increased his base strength about 30 times, so the Strikes with the Spiked Mace, should also be 30 times stronger), **Small City level+** via Lightning (While the Red Demons can withstand the Elder Kain's blows while using the Reaver without any problems, suffering only minor injuries, The Lightning Spell can disintegrate a Red Demon with two attacks, which means that the Lightning spell is much more powerful than Kain's physical attacks. There is no specific number of how many times more powerful the Lightning spell is than Kain's blows, but even if we take into account that there were two attacks, it should be at least 20 times more powerful than Kain's blows, probably much more, since the energy of a blow that leaves a small wound is not comparable to directly being able to disintegrate someone with an attack), **Varies** at least **City Level** to **Far Higher** via the Soul Reaver (The Soul Reaver is several times, more powerful than the Lightning spell, because while the Lightning needs two attacks to disintegrate a Red Demon, The Soul Reaver is capable of blowing 4 Red demons to pieces in a single blow. The Soul Reaver "does increasingly more damage with each strike", even just hitting the air, it also "grows in power" by absorbing souls, so as long as Kain keeps attacking with the sword, it will increase its power indefinitely), can ignore durability via Blood and Soul Manipulation and some artifacts | **Unknown** likely **City Block level** (Although at the beginning of Blood Omen 2 Kain was seriously weakened, by the end of the same, Kain had to have recovered his power from before being in coma. As demonstrated above, Kain can increase his strength several times, by drinking the blood of approximately 300 people, Kain likes to drink blood, and considering that in all the games, Kain drinks the blood of several hundred people, in periods of weeks or even days, Kain should increase his strength 5 times per year, drinking the blood of several hundred people in a year, and 200 years have passed since Blood Omen {plus another 200 years in a coma}, to this we must add his vampiric evolutions, which further increase his power. So by the end of Blood Omen 2 having recovered, Kain should be 1000 times stronger, than the end of Blood Omen), **Higher** via Fury (Allows make a strike much more powerful than normal), **Varies** At least **City level** to **Far Higher** with the Soul Reaver, **Higher** via Soul Reaver + Fury, **Higher** via Immolate (Immolate does more damage the Hylden Lord than a combination of the Soul Reaver and the Fury ability) | **Unknown** at least **Town Level+**, likely **Large Town level** (1100 years have passed since Blood Omen 2, similarly to before, Kain likes to drink blood, even if he doesn't need it, and similarly to before, Kain must have increased at least 5 times his strength per year {drinking the blood of several hundred people}, and his evolutions that increased his power even more. Elder Kain should be approximately 5000 times stronger than at the end of Blood Omen 2. Is "One of the strongest vampires to ever exist"), **Higher** with the Reaver (With the Fragments), **Higher** via Fury, at least **Small City level+** likely **Higher** via Lightning (Kain's powers/abilities, like him, evolved, and considering that more than a thousand years have passed, the Lightning spell should be much more powerful than before),  **City level** (Like the Lightning spell, Immolate should be much more powerful now) | **Universal level** As the Scion of Balance ( The Scion of Balance is able to harm the Elder God, beacuse "Balances the entire Universe"). All incarnations of the Reaver/Soul reaver ignore conventional durability by remove the blood or attacking the soul; Blood Manipulation, Soul Maniplation, Reality Warping, Telekinesis, Space-Time Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Biological Manipulation and some Spells ignore conventional durability, **Varies**, likely **Far higher** (The ability of the Time Guardian, allows him to summon creatures from other times, including a future version of his enemy, even if he is far more stronger)

**Lifting Strength:** At least **Class 10** (able to move big shoulders) | At Least **Class M,** likely **Class M+** (Able to effortlessly humiliate Raziel in physical strength with one hand. Raziel, who can effortlessly move objects weighing over 400 tons , struggles to break Kain's grip, but is not even able to move his wrist, all this while Kain speaks casually , **Higher** (Kain increases his strength by consuming Blood and with the passage of time,and he drink thousands of liters of Blood, and passes "some years" from the previous feat)

**Durability:** **City level** (withstand with little damage,the Strikes of the Soul Reaver in his young), **Higher** via Wraith Armor (The Wraith Armor reduces the damage Kain receives by half, at the cost of magical energy) | **Far Higher** (Kain becomes "Harder to kill" by consuming Blood, increasing his life-energy, and passed more of 1500 years), at least **Mountain level**, likely **Higher** (In over a thousand years, Kain surely drank several tens of thousands of liters of blood, taking into account that he likes to drink blood, his durability should be at least 50 times greater than in Blood Omen 1, probably more) | **Universal level** (Able to resist the energy beams of The Elder God. The Elder God is tied to the Wheel of Time/Universe and can manipulate its energies, and is only slightly inferior to Kain as the Scion of Balance in power)

**Speed:**At least **Subsonic+** (Can effortlessly dodge arrows at point-blank range,can dodge energy projectiles that are more faster than arrows, Can easily strike and kill another vampire), likely **Supersonic** reactions and combat speed (Kain was able to maintain a physical combat with Wraith Malek, Malek as a human, was able to be equal in speed to the Vampire Vorador, a very powerful vampire and surely faster than average vampires, as a wraith, not having a physical body, Malek should be even faster. Malek as a human was far superior to the rest of the Sarafan, including Melchaiah and Zephon, who as humans, were able to hit several times Wraith Raziel, who can dodge cannonballs at point blank range ), **Higher** with wolf form (Faster than before). At least **Subsonic+** travel speed with bat form (Can travel across cities in a short timeframe). **Massively Hypersonic+** attack speed (One of his spell is able to summon lightning from sky) | At least **Transonic** likely **Supersonic+** reactions and combat speed (Able to block and dodge the strikes of the vampire Sebastian, as well as being able to hit him. and the Vampire Sebastian has a super-speed ability , this speed being far superior to average vampires), **Higher** with Berserk Dark Gift | **Massively Hypersonic+** reactions and combat speed (Able to easily defeat several Lightning Demons simultaneously, that can attack and move at real lightning speed, and can easily dodge multiple times at point-blank range, the attack "Crack of Lightning" that is "As quick and deadly as a Lightning bolt from the sky" and is even capable of reflecting it with a blow from his sword at point-blank range. Kain can dodge the attacks of Raziel, as well as catch him in the middle of a jump at close range, who can also easily dodge the attack Crack of Lightning , and is faster both attacking and moving than Kain. Able to strike and defeat Raziel) **Higher** with berserk, likely **Sub-Relativistic** (Berserk should be greatly improved in Kain's Elder version, increasing several times his speed), **Higher** by using Dimension and Time Fragments via teleportation and time manipulation, **Relativistic+** with Supernova.

**Stamina:** **Nigh-Infinite**. Has killed hordes of Vampires Hunters without sights of tiredness, won a battle against an illusion of his future self, Kain as a Vampire does not need sleep, this is seen when he travels across the continent of Nosgoth on foot for weeks, while fighting hordes of enemies and never sleeps | Counting the previous, Kain survived being slashed by the Hylden Lord, with Gylph Magic which is "Deadly to Vampires" although, felt into a coma, and after awake he losses temporarily the majority of his abilities and his mind was fragmented. Even with that, Kain possess passive resistance to mind control | As an Elder, Kain is able to stand even after his heart was ripped out, and continued on to fight a horde of demons without issue. It has been established that he can "Easily defeat armies of foes". He is able to see through the Time Stream, allowing him to perceive infinite possibilities, a feat that would drive any mortal man mad. | **Infinite** (As the Scion of Balance, Kain "Draws energy from the Battle", which means that, as long as he or other creatures fight, he will gain energy, and his energy will always remain the same or recover more than he spends)

**Range:** Extended melee range with the Soul Reaver. Tens of meters with energy, Telekinesis and magic | Hundreds of Kilometers with natural disasters. Thousands of kilometers via Telepathy (The Mind Guardian Nupraptor, was able to create a telepathic blast, which affected the entire continent of Nosgoth. Although Kain cannot use the powers to the same extent as the pure guardians). Interstellar with Supernova. Interdimensional (Kain can see others dimensions at will and also can attack from others dimensions via portals)

**Intelligence:** Extraordinary Genius intellect and extremely wise, killed all of the Nosgoth guardians, dominated Nosgoth for 900 years. As a Vampire, Kain's mind evolved beyond human levels, allowing him to process and understand the Time-Stream , a feat that would drive any normal human mad .The Time-Stream consists of: "The various weavings of time, wrapping, unfolding and refolding" , and allows see  "Infinite possibilities" (infinite timelines). Kain was able to process infinite timelines (i.e. infinite information), in a finite time (to be more specific, in less than a century), which means that his cognitive capabilities are effectively infinite. Is an expert tactician and master of strategy, being able to conquest the continent of Nosgoth in only 100 years, with his liutenants , even when Nosgoth have killed to the rest of vampires except him. Can orchestrate many events against his foes across multiple timelines that eventually end with his victory. Kain has thousands of years of experience, frequently makes long-term plans and has masterful insight into the possibilities of the future, while choosing the ones that do not harm him, or those he wants preserved.

Standard Equipment: The Reaver/The Soul Reaver

"*Time fades even legend, and the origin of Soul Reaver has been lost long ago. But its purpose remains – to feed on the souls of any creature it strikes. Kindred, this blade and I"*

—Kain—

"*The Soul Reaver, Kain's ancient blade – older than any of us, and a thousand times more deadly.*
The legends claimed that the blade was possessed, and thrived by devouring the souls of its victims. For all our bravado, we knew what it meant when Kain drew the Soul Reaver in anger – it meant you were dead."

—Raziel—

The **Reaver**, and, later, the **Soul Reaver**, is a weapon which has appeared in every title in the *Legacy of Kain* series.It is a flamberge-class sword with a broad, undulating serpentine blade.The Reaver was originally an enchanted sword, forged by Vorador at the Ancient vampires' behest to destroy their prophesied adversary, the Hylden champion. It could drain its victims' Blood, but was altered when it absorbed the soul of the time-traveling wraith Raziel. Hereafter, Raziel's spirit inhabited the blade, and it obtained the ability to devour the souls of those it struck. Much later in Nosgoth's history, when Kain attacked Raziel with the physical blade, it proved unable to devour its younger self, and shattered, releasing Raziel's soul (the Wraith Blade).The sword's passage through time is a complicated one, and its existence has been, and will be, entwined with Raziel's for all infinity within the Nosgoth universe.

**Minor equipment (BLOOD OMEN 1):**

* Weapons
* Armors
* Artefacts

* **Iron Sword:** Standard Kain's weapon.

* **Spiked Maced:** The most destructive weapon.Can stun enemies and destroy several rocks of 2 meters in one strike.

* **Axes:** Called Havoc and Malice, these weapons can be used to chop up to 2 trees in one hit and make slashing combos. While wielded, the user can't use magic.

* **Flame Sword:** A burning sword, it turns the victims into ashes, preventing some kinds of undead and creatures to resurrect, regenerate or reassemble.

- **Iron Armor:** Kain's standard armor,was a normal armor but was reforged with Hellfire by The Necromancer Mortanius.Give to kain high defense and fire protection.

* **Bone Armor:** It causes lower forms of undead to ignore the user.

* **Chaos Armor:** While wearing it, any damage inflicted to the user is reflected back to the attacker.

* **Flesh Armor:** It drains the blood of the enemies that are damaged by the user, feeding him.

* **Wraith Armor:** As armor that exists in both the Spectral and Material Realms, it divides the damage taken at cost of magic.

- **Flay**: Flay artefacts were projectiles that homed in on an enemy, then ripped the flesh from its bones.Kain being Elder can make this ability the form passively,without artefacts.

- **Implode:**If these projectiles struck an enemy, their body rapidly compressed. The remains exploded when the internal pressure became too great to be contained.

- **Slow Time:** Slow Time artefacts worked like a spell. All enemies and creatures in the area moved at a quarter of their normal speed for a limited time.

- **Font of Putrescence:**These artefacts were homing projectiles that caused enemies to decompose upon contact. The pool left by their dissolved bodies acted as a trap, promising the same fate to anyone that stood in it.

- **Pentaliche of Tarot:** Tarot randomly picked how Kain's enemies would die. There were five different outcomes that could be dealt, and it killed all assailants who were in close proximity to Kain. From observation, it appeared that the five outcomes were as follows:
	* Flay.
	* Dissolve (Font of Putrescence).
	* Implode.
	* Explode into lots of tiny bits (like Flay, but with no skeleton left).
	* Exploding dismemberment (bigger bits left than 4, like when the Soul Reaver was used).

* **Anti-Toxin:**If Kain became poisoned, Anti-Toxin was the cure. These artefacts were particularly useful around Dark Eden, where Kain was frequently poisoned by the mutant inhabitants.
* **Energy Bank:** These artefacts filled Kain's magic reserves for a while, but when their effect faded, Kain was left with no magical energy at all. Despite this disadvantage, the Energy Banks were valuable for use with the Soul Reaver. They ensured Kain had the magical energy needed for the sword to show its full potential.
* **Heart of Darkness**: The Heart of Darkness cards are representations of the relic, (from the true heart of Janos Audron), these cards have the same power as the original heart "restore vampiric unlife", the hearts serve as a resurrection for Kain, if he is killed, he instantly resurrects, giving him enough "life" to be able to fight, Kain can also use the hearts to heal himself and recover all his energy.

**Minor equipment (BLOOD OMEN 2):**

* **Weapons:** Blood Omen 2 Weapons
* **Nexus Stone**: A stone of unknown origin, it has the ability to manipulate Space and Time, allowing the bearer to create portals to any place in the world he wishes, the stone also protects the bearer from the attacks of the Soul Reaver blade.

**Key: End of Blood Omen 1 | End of Blood Omen 2 | Elder Kain (End of Defiance) | Scion of Balance**

## Weaknesses

* Water is like acid to Kain. However, it has to be a large amount to harm him, he has "transformations" that make him immune, and it is not a deadly weakness, as he cannot be killed.
