Faustus

Faustus is an antagonist in Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain. He is briefly visible in the opening cinematic as a legionnaire in Kain's armies, making his first prominent appearance early in the game. Formerly one of Kain's reluctant allies, he is described as "an indifferent soul", caring only for those on the winning side.

His is the first boss encounter in the game. As Kain departs an area in Meridian known as the Den, Faustus ambushes and taunts him before instigating battle. Faustus reveals that he has betrayed Kain, his former commander, to side with the Sarafan Lord, concerned only for the pursuit of power.

After a brief struggle, Kain proceeds to scorch Faustus using various nearby furnaces, then engages in melee combat with the vampire. As Faustus attempts to flee into the air, he loses his grip and falls to the ground, lifeless. In killing Faustus, Kain obtains the "Jump" Dark Gift.
