Sarafan sorceresses



These Spell Casters appeared in both Soul Reaver 2 and Defiance, although they differed in both.

In Soul Reaver 2 they were female who referred to the crusaders and templars as 'brother'. They had shaven heads and their overall appearance was similar to Azimuth but with a black and white motif. They threw fireballs at enemies from a distance, however if an enemy came too close they would flee and cry for their Sarafan brothers to guard them. Also if one looked closely on the banners in front of the female spell casters' waists, they bore Melchiah's clan symbol.

In Defiance these female spell casters are missing and are supposedly replaced by their male counterparts. These spell casters used Energy Bolts on enemies, as well as a defensive move similar to the Force Glyph's attack. They could set up temporary shields that used runes (the same as/similar to the ones by Kain and Raziel for their telekinesis and Kain's magic energy in Blood Omen 1, albeit with only four). They used their magic to enhance their comrades abilities and provided them some temporary protection. These male spell casters had a uniform which consisted of metallic armor with yellow clothing underneath and they had their heads covered with the same cloth which could indicate that these spell casters were bald as well (possibly inspired by the Sarafan Inquisitor Melchiah's color theme which was yellow and he also was bald), and they also had the Sarafan Inquisitor Raziel's wrist weapon that he used to eviscerate Janos Audron with but on both wrists).
