[Shell Man]

They're all LOK games, just divided into Blood Omen(Kain's story) and Soul Reaver.(Raziel's story) But in the end it's all part of the same story. Originally, the story wasn't going to go beyond Blood Omen. The Soul Reaver was just a weapon in Kain's inventory, but a few years later they came up with a story to expand on it, and flashed foreward several centuries to when Kain ruled the world. The problem was never that the Hylden would rule the land, that was always Kain's destiny. The problem is that the land was corrupted, so it would just become an empty wasteland unless Kain went back and changed things. Raziel was part of that, Kain had been aware of prophecies about the vampire messiah, so he made Raziel what he is.
