## Elder God

### Age

Unknown,exist in the past,present and future in infinite timelines simultaneously.

### Weight

Unknoen,bigger than a Continent

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 he uses to feed on the souls of the dead.

## Background

Depicted as a sentient, writhing mass of tentacles and eyes dwelling deep below the land of Nosgoth, the Elder God claimed 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 neither 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.

## Stats

**Attack Potency: Universe level** (Manipulates the Wheel of Fate, also called "The Wheel of Time/Universe". Slightly weaker than Kain as the Scion of Balance)

**Speed: Massively Hypersonic+** (can react to Kain and keep up with him in combat).

**Durability**: **Universe level** (Kain as the Scion of Balance can harm him because he "Balances the entire universe". Resisted dozens of Kain's blows, which only weakened a small part of his body) | At least **Universe Level** (Can only be damaged by a combination of purified beings and multi-dimensional attacks), enormous size/mass makes it very difficult to truly damage him.

**Hax: Immortality, Multi-Dimensionality** (exist in the material and spectral realms simultaneously), **Non-Corporeality, Nigh-Omnipresence, Nigh-Omniscience, Invulnerability, Intangibility, Invisibility, Life and Death Manipulation, Soul Absorption, Energy Projection, Forcefield Creation, Shielding, Temporal and Dimensional Portal Manipulation, Regeneration, Telepathy** and many more.

**Stamina**: **Limitless** (In the Spectral Plane, time doesn't advance. He constantly consumse the energy of the World)

**Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscience**(Due to being timeless, and being able to see the Time-Stream, he knows of any event/creature/place in the past, present and future of Nosgoth in infinite timelines, barring creatures that have "Free Will" like Raziel. Has manipulated entire races across time in order to fulfill its desires, including Moebius)

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Powers

* **Wheel of Fate:** The Elder God is bound to and can manipulate the Wheel of Fate, an inexorable cycle of birth, death, and reincarnation to which all living creatures in the Universe of Nosgoth are compelled. Because of it, as it consumes souls, it grows in mass & size and becomes more powerful. It is unknown how much it can grow, but it has become larger than a continent, and it is likely that the Elder God doesn't have a limit to its growth.The connection with this "wheel" is the thing that gives to the Elder God all his powers.
	+ **Nigh**-**Omnipresence:**The Elder God described himself as "eternally present, here and everywhere, now and always". Indeed, the Elder God is omnipresent in the world of Nosgoth thanks to the fact that he is a mass of eyes, which allows him to see and be everywhere at once. Being bigger than a continent, he exists in all Nosgoth. He is also omnipresent on a temporal level, existing in the past, present and future of infinite timelines simultaneously, and being somewhat timeless.
	+ **Nigh-Omniscience:**The Elder God can directly see the Time-Stream. The Time Stream shows the various paths of time, and those who are able to see it can see and know any event/creature/place of any time, whether past, present, or future, at will. This makes him omniscient on a temporal level.
	+ **Multi/Inter-Dimensional Creature:** The Elder God exists simultaneously on the spectral and material plane, and can act/destroy both simultaneously. The material plane is the normal world and the spectral plane is where souls live, where time does not advance and physics are distorted. Because he exists in the spectral realm, he detects time in a different way, and is likely timeless for that reason.
	+ **Invisibility, Intangibility and Invulnerability:** The Elder God can only be seen and touched by purified beings. However, he can interact with other beings, even if they do not see him or can not touch him normally. The strikes of purified beings affect him, but don't hurt him. Because he exists on both the material and spectral planes, he is totally immune to physical and/or spiritual attacks (spiritual attacks only pass through him, even on the spectral plane). Only a combination of both types of attacks/magic (like Kain's Soul Reaver blade), along with more purified beings, can harm him.
	+ **Universal Durability:** The Elder God can only be damaged in a very specific way. According to developers, Kain as the Scion of Balance can damage it because "The Scion of Balance balances the entire world/universe and therefore is able to attack/hurt the Elder God". That means that it takes a being of universal power to damage it. The Elder God resisted dozens of Kain's blows as the Scion of Balance, and Kain only weakened a small part of his body.
	+ **Life and Death Manipulation:** The Elder God has been directly said to have "Power over Life and Death", and this is confirmed by his ability to resurrect his servant Moebius. He is able to bring any creature to life as often as he wishes, but if the creature's soul is devoured by another being, he cannot resurrect it.
	+ **Time Portal Creation:** The Elder God is able to create time portals to any era he wishes. He demonstrated this by creating a portal for Kain 500 years into the future.
	+ **Soul Absorption:** This ability is what he uses to feed himself. When a creature dies, they go to the spectral realm, and when one of his "agents" consumes a soul, part of it goes to the Elder God, feeding him.
	+ **Forcefield Generation:** The Elder God can generate force fields at will. It has been shown that he can create at least two types: one for self-defense for his vulnerable zones (shown in the fight against Kain), and "lock-in" fields. The latter are created in any place he wishes, and serve to trap a person in that place and disintegrate them on contact. These last ones he demonstrated against Raziel when he was learning to use his new Wraith powers.
	+ **Protective Energy Barrier:** A barrier generated around his body, preventing others from attacking him.
	+ **Energy Projection:**The Elder God can project energy through his eyes. These shots are so fast that they are able to reach Kain, who moves at higher speed than real lightning. He can fire at least two types: the first is a direct shot that slightly chases the target, and the second follows the target above his head, then stopping to hit the target.
	+ **Manipulation of Dimensional Portals:** The Elder God can disappear through dimensional portals from the spectral world to the material at will. This was demonstrated by closing the portals when Raziel was about to escape from the spectral plane.
	+ **Telepathy:**The Elder God is a telepath (i.e. he communicates with others with the mind). He is able to do so even in other dimensions, where he does not exist. He demonstrated this by communicating with Raziel on the Demon Plane.
	+ **Regeneration:** The Elder God can regenerate limbs (tentacles). However, this takes a few seconds do.
	+ **Many more Powers:** According to the developers: "We've only just scratched the surface of things he could do".
