Soul Reaver 2 - Raziel Meets Vampire Vorador (Gameplay) (Cutscene)

Following Kain through the Chronoplast, Raziel had a chance to explore Nosgoth, thirty years before Vorador's execution was due to take place. He saw murals in the Sarafan Stronghold that demonized Vorador, illustrating his attack on the Circle. Moebius hatefully referred to Vorador as "the scourge of the Circle" and "the most depraved and decadent example of his whole degenerate race".

Early in Soul Reaver 2, Raziel felt that he was being watched. Vulture-like birds observed his route, but they dissipated into green smoke if he moved too close to them. Eventually Raziel reached the Termogent Forest swamp, and spied Vorador on a balcony, still alive in that era. The mysterious birds were his agents, and although the old vampire vanished, he was waiting to converse with Raziel once he exited the Dark Forge. Vorador was curious about Raziel, and appeared to recognize him in some way, although they had never met. Vorador questioned Raziel, but he also gave some information away. He revealed that his maker had been none other than Janos Audron, and that Raziel's fate was somehow linked to that legendary vampire. But Vorador was fatalistic by this time. Moebius' citizen army already existed and he had written off Nosgoth as being beyond salvation.

Later in Soul Reaver 2, Raziel travelled back in time and met Janos Audron. Vorador was mentioned in their conversation: Janos said Vorador hated the humans because he had suffered much at their hands, and could not forgive them. Janos was murdered shortly after, and Raziel returned to the Sarafan Stronghold to avenge him. While he was detained by Malek and Moebius, he heard Vorador's distinctive laughter and 'Call your dogs!' taunt coming from another part of the building. This was Vorador's famous attack on the Circle, and his motives for it were clarified by the timing; surely too perfect to be mere coincidence.² Vorador had indeed lost many vampires he cared about to the Sarafan, but Janos' death was the final straw. His assault was direct retribution for the taking of Janos' life, and he made the Circle pay dearly for it.

Vorador is rather enigmatic, yet also cynical. A very well designed character indeed. Almost like the Morgan Freeman of the Vampires.

Also, you will hear him read this text in his voice.

[GmodPlusWoW]

Indeed. Terribly butchered. Reduced from a sado-hedonistic badass to a banterous old bat. Although, maybe death and rebirth can do that to you.

Regardless, Vorador was poorly portrayed in BO2. In fact, Blood Omen 2 wasn't exactly the best LoK game.

[ZeoTheZombie]

Ever notice how the vampires in these games are ALWAYS facing extinction ? geez you think after the 3rd or 4th time they would of fixed it somehow.

[ZeoTheZombie]

Only vampier who can swim

In blood omen vorador looks diffrent

[Nintendoman01]

@Deadman20101000 Actually, it's been explained that Vorador was the first human to be turned into a vampire, period.

[NasaCortis]

when Raziel meets Vorador again (30 years after this meeting, from Vorador's perspective) in his Mansion, he simply shows him to Janos's corpse and instructs him to try and locate the Heart of Darkness to resurrect him. Why do you think he didn't do the same thing here? Maybe he was still distrustful of Raziel, but nothing had really changed in the time elapsed, except that Moebius's crusade had almost succeeded in its vampire genocide.

[Deadman20101000]

Vorador wasn't the first human to be turned by Janos Audron but the only human who embraced the dark gift and passed them on. He clearly different from Kain( Kain was brought back as a vampire by the necromancer Mortanius). Vampires created by vampire and vampires created by human sorcerers. What a mindfuck!!

I love how expressive their faces are animated, even Raziel's.

The storytelling and voice acting of this series is simply majestic.

[LOKBLUDOM3N]

How will act Kain & Vorador if they meets them selves right in this moment when Raziel appears?

[SteveLmx]

Still the best game series of all time.
