* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Gets to be behind both ends of the blade in different games. [[spoiler:How he deals with Moebius in ''Defiance''.]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Gets to be behind both ends of the blade in different games. [[spoiler:How he deals with Moebius in ''Defiance''.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Killing [[spoiler:the defenseless Moebius]] in ''Defiance'' while taunting him about how his abilities have failed him. [[spoiler:Moebius]] might not have posed a danger to him anymore, but after five games, he's had it coming.

* TheOlderImmortal: Is the oldest [[spoiler: human-derived]] vampire in Nosgoth when Kain first meets him, and unlike the wandering warrior fledgling, Vorador prefers the life of [[DeathlessAndDebauched indulgence]]] within his remote stately manor, over matters of revenge.

* TheElderImmortal: Is the oldest [[spoiler: human-derived]] vampire in Nosgoth when Kain first meets him, and unlike the wandering warrior fledgling, Vorador prefers the life of [[DeathlessAndDebauched indulgence]]] within his remote stately manor.

* AGodAmI: Set himself up a GodEmperor.
-->'''Raziel:''' Kain is deified. [[ShroudedInMyth The clans tell tales of him. Few know the truth]] – [[WasOnceAMan he was mortal once, as were we all]].

* AGodAmI: Presents himself as one. [[spoiler:And the Ancients worshiped him as one too, as does Moebius.]]

* AGodAmI: PlayedWith. He considers himself one, since he has a cult dedicated to worshipping him. Considering he is ''forced'' to be worshipped and is a prisoner against his will, however, this could be self-depreciation.

* DemonicPossession: When Raziel encounters him in ''Defiance'', he's under the control of the Hylden Lord.
* DyingAsYourself: "We shall all be... ''free''..."

* FindTheCure: The main reason behind his quest in ''Blood Omen'' is to find a cure to his vampirism... until he learns to embrace it.

* TranshumanTreachery: Over the course of ''Blood Omen''; while he initially seeks a cure for his vampirism, he soon grows to embrace it.

* WhatTheHellHero: Gets one from Raziel when he points out that she condemned Nupraptor to be among Kain's first victims [and deceived Kain himself into doing her bidding, letting him believe he'd be cured of his vampirism when he'd really be forced to sacrifice his life.

* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:Along with the rest of the Hylden. At the end of ''Blood Omen 2'', they're forced back into their own dimension, and the one thing that can get them out of it, the Nexus Stone, is hurled through the portal after them right before it closes - they're not coming back any time soon.]]

A member of The Turelim Clan ordered by Kain to guard the Tomb of the Sarafan.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How Raziel finds his body.

* BaldOfEvil: His head is as bare as his conscious.

* WeakenedByTheLight: In exchange for their immunity to water, the Rahabim are vulnerable to sunlight well into adulthood, which Raziel exploits to kill Rahab himself.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's a well-endowed, powerful vampire.

* MsFanservice: Her clothing is downright {{Stripperiffic}}, with her [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine stomach bared]], her BoobsOfSteel emphasized by her top, and the fact that she wears [[ZettaiRyouiki thigh-baring stockings]] instead of pants.

* DiscardAndDraw: He and his brood have overcome the vampire weakness to water, at the cost of having [[WeaknedByTheLight no tolerance to sunlight whatsoever]].

* BossArenaIdiocy: A rather magnificent subversion--Rahab's territory is a flooded abbey, and both his lair and the passage to it are also flooded. If Raziel couldn't shift to the Spectral Realm where water is insubstantial, he wouldn't even be able to ''get'' to Rahab's lair. And once you do get there, the only dry land are small pillars where he can easily knock you back into the water, forcing Raziel to shift back to the Spectral Realm. Played straight in other ways though. If you have an aversion to sunlight, it might be considered unwise to make your lair in a room full of shatterable windows.

* ThePowerOfTheSun: How Raziel kills him.
* RemovedAchillesHeel: He and his brood have overcome the vampire weakness to water, at the cost of having no tolerance to sunlight whatsoever.

* MiniBoss: He is the only mini boss in the game.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In ''Defiance'', he's [[spoiler:impaled and killed by Kain, and then his spirit rises from his corpse to be impaled and reaved by Raziel in the Spectral Realm, and both times they taunt him before he goes.]] Harsh, but after all that he's done up to that point, it can't be denied he had it coming.

* HumiliationConga: See KickTheSonOfABitch further down the page. In the span of about sixty seconds, all of Moebius's schemes blow up in his face, his powers fail him, and we see him reduced to a simpering old man before [[spoiler:he's finally put out of his misery for good.]]

* TheScrappy: A particularly easy character to hate. Her character design is shamelessy sexualized, she can only speak a handful of times without being a condescending bitch, her attempts to search the Industrial Quarter end with her getting kidnapped and needing to be rescued (and then you have to do what she was sent to do), and finally [[spoiler: she steals the Nexus Stone from Kain and says she will be the one to kill the Sarafan Lord. This, of course, hammers the final nail into her coffin.]]

%%* LongHairedPrettyboy: He looks like a male version of Umah.
%%* MadBomber

%%* LongHairedPrettyboy

* HarsherInHindsight: The entire quest involving Elzevir becomes incredibly problematic -to put it very mildly- in hindsight with the knowledge that Ken McCulloch, one of the lead writers of Blood Omen (and other Silicon Knights titles), was arrested in 2013 on charges of having child pornography in his possession.
