Characters

KAIN
An ambitious young noble who was resurrected from the dead by the Necromancer Mortanius, Kain is forced into a quest that leads him on a tortuous journey of self-discovery as his curse of vampirism takes hold on his soul.

VORADO
A proud, arrogant, long-lived vampire, Vorador has lived since ancient times. After his family was slaughtered by the Sarafan during the great vampire purges, Vorador fled into hiding and was lost to the world of Nosgoth.

MORTANIOUS
Mortanius is an ancient sorcerer, skilled in the arts of death magic. His powers have accumulated over the centuries, and he now stands as the most powerful wizard in all of Nosgoth, serving as one of the Circle of Nine (the Protectors of Hope).

MALEK
Malek, fanatical warrior-priest of the Sarafan, is the defender and paladin of the Circle of Nine, and has vowed allegiance to their protection. Purged of his humanity by the circle's sorcery, Malek is now focused on extracting revenge upon the vampire that caused him to be damned for eternity.
