Durden was an unseen, yet named minor Human () character mentioned in Blood Omen 2. Durden was a human who was apparently murdered by Vampires just prior to Kain's entry to the Lower City (or possibly before Kain's revival). In In Darkness We Gather as Kain entered the Lower City, he overheard two malepeasants discussing Durden's death[BO2] "last night" and how he had appeared drained of blood; being the third victim found - the story served to highlight the fears of Meridian's human population.
