History Characters / BloodRayne

* AntiClimaxBoss: Of a fashion. Shortly before entering boss battle with them, you can see them slaughtering an entire horde of Feral Vampires -- who already proved themselves as deadly adversaries even when fighting solo -- seemingly without breaking a sweat. This immediately sets up Krieger twins as a serious threat, but in reality, they are surprisingly easy to beat. Although there are two of them, they don't cooperate at all and most of the time, they just run around the pillars and occasionally throw shurikens at you -- which will surely miss if you merely keep moving. Somewhat justified, since Krieger twins seem more interested in flirting with Rayne, rather than actually fighting her.
* BreatherBoss: They're a relatively simply boss fight that you encounter just immediately before the big final battle with [[spoiler: Wulf and Beliar]].

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of Elspeth 'Doc' Holliday from [[Nocturne1999 Nocturne]]. Both are female scientists who study supernatural life-forms as part of their respective organizations. Elspeth's research aims to help her coworkers protect the world from supernatural evil, while Bathory wants to study Daemites to use as a biological weapon for the Nazis.

* KarmicDeath: She is fed to the same Daemites she fed her own subordinates to as an experiment. However a sequel comic, "Revenge of the Butcheress", shows that she survived; apparently she's so evil that the Daemites respect her, not only not eating her but even shielding her from the incinerators that Rayne activated.

** NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: We don't ''really'' need to explain twice, do we?

* DropTheHammer: Foremen have a gigantic one they use to smash people to bits.

* MsFanservice: Not overtly as [[ThirdPersonSeductress Rayne]] or [[EvilIsSexy Dr. Bathory]], but Mynce still wears a tight suit with CleavageWindow and thigh-high boots. The comics play it for all it's worth.

* GatlingGood: His armored pulpit is equipped with a Gatling gun.

* EvilLaugh: In her very first scene, she maniacly laughs after throwing two prisoners to the Daemites. She will also laugh during her boss fight when she goes to open the trap door to the Daemite pit.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His assassination target photo shows him being handed flowers by a group of adoring children.

* LooksLikeOrlok: He doesn't, but his elites combine this trope with PuttingOnTheReich.

* NotSoAboveItAll: For the most part, Kagan and the severity of his crimes are portrayed in a dark and serious light, though EnemyChatter recounts how he apparently borrowed a shirt from them, never returned it, and claimed it was stolen. See ArsonMurderAndJaywalking.

* TheUnfought: In a way. During the Shroud Tower showdown, Rayne actually has to avoid her instead of her. Even after she shows up at the Kagan Tower, she doesn't live long enough to fight Rayne.

* FlunkyBoss: [[EnforcedTrope Enforced]]. Due to not being able to damage Rayne on his own, he has to rely on his infinitely respawning goons to do the job.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's a wealthy social climber and has good enough publicity to host a massive party with all of the city's most important individuals. Severin remarks that killing all his guests he "blew his membership at the country club."

* ZeroEffortBoss: Every time you attack him, he will just fly over to a different location and you give chase until you kill him; he also throws swarms of bats at you instead of fighting you directly, and his attacks are so pathetic they can only stun you, but not actually kill you in any way.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname alternates between Zeren'''z'''ki and Zeren'''s'''ki.

* NightmareFetishist: She's obsessed with Daemites because of their parasitic abilites and sado-masochistic tendencies.

* StationaryBoss: He never leaves his gun nest and will only traverse between the opposite ends of his chapel.

* CardCarryingVillain: He agrees with Rayne that he's a liar, and doesn't exactly seem upset when he's addressed as "Overlord Kagan" (and probably insists on that title).

* HateSink: Kagan is an infinitely cruel, scummy tyrant who does his best to an absolute bastard to ''everyone'' he comes across. For starters, he rapes countless human women and then, once the dhampyr child is born, he wipes out ''every single'' relative of that child safe for himself to make them into his personal [[TykeBomb Tyke Bombs]]. He treats these acts of cruelty like an everyday thing. In fact, he intended to breed himself an entire army that way. His pure-blood children are just as expendable to him, as he unhesitantly orders the death of one of his daughters once he deems her useless. Also, he always insults and demeans his loyal son, Xerx, instead favouring his treacherous daughter Ephemera who secretly wants to kill him. He doesn't even have any of the "cool" characteristics often associated with a vampire lord.

* KnightOfCererus: While ''[=BloodRayne=]'' games are mostly darkly comedic in nature, there is not a single laugh to be had about Kagan. When he and Rayne come face to face, her sardonic and snarky attitude is replaced with pure, relentless hatred.

* TheSociopath: Not only is he completely remorseless about his history of murder and rape, he believes himself to be above all other vampires, but his LackOfEmpathy extends to his family and what passes as friends; his whole reason for having children in the first place is to create an army, he has a sexual relationship with Slezz for the purposes of having another set of children to be experimented on, kills his children's families and loved ones so they have not one to rely on but him, the closest thing to affection he had towards any his children is pride that Ephemera has met his expectations. Even when he credits other vampires who helped him bring about the vampire apocalypse, that very same sentence implies he intends to kill and usurp their kingdoms as well.

* UngratefulBastard: Xerx resurrected Kagan after he was blown up by Professor Tremaine. He "thanks" him for that by constant humiliation.

* BlackEyesofCrazy: She has pitch-black eyes wrapped by leather straps, implying she might be blind.

* EvilCripple: He's perpetually hunched, walks with a limp and has a heavily damaged face with lots of stitched patches of skin, possible due to a lab accident.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite his UndyingLoyalty to the Kagan Cult, nobody there is fond of him. His father treats him like dirt, his sister Ephemera calls him a "mongoloid" and Ferril doesn't show much regard for him either.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He may be considered a loser in Kagan's ranks, but he's still a nasty genius, who's responsible for the creation of Shroud, a substance that conseals vampires from the sun. Also, the way he wipes out Ferril with the sun cannon clearly shows that his technology is a force to be reckoned with.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname alternates between Zere'''z'''ki and Zeren'''s'''ki.

* CreepyTwins: At least three of them engage Rayne in the first act, after defeating Zwerenski.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: She is a gigantic, ancient vampire breed referred to as "Babylonian Winged Shakab". According to Zeverin, Vampires of her kind can only be killed by removing their hearts.

** {{Foreshadowing}} If you listen at two mooks behind a closed door earlier, you'll hear them talking about the Unraveler and how it works as a guardian for Kagan's hideout.

* KnightOfCerberus: While ''BloodRayne'' games are mostly darkly comedic in nature, there is not a single laugh to be had about Kagan. When he and Rayne come face to face, her sardonic and snarky attitude is replaced with pure, relentless hatred.
