rdfs:comment

The Elder God is a fictional character in the Legacy of Kain games. He has been voice throughout the series by Tony Jay. The Elder God is an immortal, nearly omniscient deity that lives beneath the surface of Nosgoth. The Elder God appears as a vile, tentacled mass abound with numerous, unblinking eyes which allows the Elder God to see all things at all times. The Elder God is possibly the only character in the Legacy of Kain who manipulates others, but never is manipulated. At this point, the Elder God's motives still remain largely unclear.

The Elder God is a fictional character in the Legacy of Kain games. He has been voice throughout the series by Tony Jay. The Elder God is an immortal, nearly omniscient deity that lives beneath the surface of Nosgoth. The Elder God appears as a vile, tentacled mass abound with numerous, unblinking eyes which allows the Elder God to see all things at all times. The Elder God professes to be the "Engine of Life" and the still center of the "Wheel of Fate". He claims that he creates all life and devours all death but as the story progresses, it seems as though the Elder God seems to exist solely to devour all of the essence that a soul obtains during its life. The Ancients once worshipped the Elder God, though they had no idea what the Elder God was. When the Hylden obtained immortality, refusing to submit to death, the Elder God set the Ancients against them. When the Hylden cursed the Ancients at the end of the war, the Elder God turned away from the Ancients, viewing their unwanted immortality as an affront to him. Without the guidance of their God, many of the Ancients committed suicide. Centuries later, the Elder God started speaking to Moebius and convinced him that the Ancient vampires were a plague and must be destroyed. Moebius and Mortanius rebelled against the vampires on the Elder God's orders and claimed the Pillars of Nosgoth for mankind. Several millennia later, the Elder God was present as Raziel's rebirth as a wraith and tried to coerce him to kill Kain. Eventually, he lost his hold over Raziel and the wraith devoted himself to defying the Elder God. Raziel was the first one to seen the true "face" of the Elder God, but before he joined with the Reaver, he allowed Moebius and Kain to see the twisted manipulator. Once he could see the Elder God, Kain was able to fight and defeat, but not kill, him. The Elder God is possibly the only character in the Legacy of Kain who manipulates others, but never is manipulated. At this point, the Elder God's motives still remain largely unclear.
