Role
After Raziel left the Sarafan Stronghold and explored Nosgoth in the Pre-Blood Omen era in the early chapters of Soul Reaver 2,he had the sensation of being watched as he was silently observed by a number of small groups of crows. When Raziel approached any of the crows they would appear as though taking off before vanishing into a green wispy energy. Noting a grouping nearby the Pillars of Nosgoth, Raziel commented on the sensation they gave him, deducing that someone was "keenly interested in [his] presence". After being observed by the vanishing crows for some time, Raziel eventually made his way to the Swamp where upon hearing a disturbance among the crows he was able to spot Vorador watching him from a balcony along with the crows - with both disappearing into green smoke. Raziel quickly identified Vorador as the mysterious observer and it seemed that Vorador used crows to keep surveillance on Nosgoth and more particularly Raziel - this was all but confirmed a short while later as Raziel left the Dark Forge and conversed with Vorador, who admitted to watching Raziel since he left the Stronghold.

Vorador's crows would continue to watch Raziel as he explored Nosgoth in the pre-Blood Omen era but they would be absent from both the Post-Blood Omen and Early history eras. Later titles did not explicitly feature a return of the concept although regular crows were seen on occasion.
