Martyred Guardian of Energy

The martyred Energy Guardian was one of the Human Guardians of the Pillar of Energy, and a member of the Circle of Nine. He served the Pillars of Nosgoth during Nosgoth's early history, and presumably sponsored the Vampire purge led by the Sarafan. He was among the six Guardians murdered by Vorador in his Slaughter of the Circle at the Sarafan Stronghold. The Guardian appeared only as a minor character in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

Role
The Energy Guardian was one of six who fell to Vorador's fateful attack. He was among four Guardians seen using the viewing basin to observe and guide the Sarafan campaign, alongside the then-Balance Guardian, the Nature Guardian and another (an unidentified male). Of these four, he was the last of Vorador's victims; witnessing his peers die one by one, he whimpered and screamed for Malek, but was quickly cornered by the Vampire. He attempted to retaliate with an offensive spell, but his magic was inexplicably rendered useless, crackling and dying. Vorador slew him with a Blood Gout spell, draining his blood to sustain himself for the subsequent confrontation with Malek. The Guardian was succeeded - either directly, or later in Nosgoth's history - by DeJoule. In the Blood Omen era, Moebius discussed the event with Kain, attributing the deaths to Malek's "vanity".

In the second timeline's pre-Blood Omen era, Moebius displayed to Raziel that, following his death, the Energy Guardian was beatified in a mural adorning one of the gathering-room's walls, as too were his five slain peers. Moebius had seemingly utilized their deaths, along with the deaths of the Sarafan warrior inquisitors and the more recent killing of William the Just, to help incite his Mercenary Army's "humble crusade" against Nosgoth's Vampires. Raziel could peruse his mural during his quest, which was still intact throughout the third timeline and the post-Blood Omen era (albeit faded and heavily-worn in the latter).

When Raziel stormed the Stronghold in Nosgoth's early history to avenge Janos Audron, his own attack on the Sarafan Warrior Inquisitors coincided with Vorador's assault on the Circle. He encountered Moebius, defended by Malek, shortly after infiltrating the building. There, the trio could hear the future martyrs' distant pleas for help, and Vorador's taunts; it was in fact Moebius himself, instructing Malek to "hold fast" against Raziel despite Malek's protestations, who had delayed the Paladin from saving the six Guardians.

In the fourth timeline, Raziel encountered, and battled, the specter of the Energy Guardian's earliest predecessor - the original Energy Guardian - in the Earth Forge of the Vampire Citadel.
