Prison guardians (enemies)

Prison Guardians  , also known as Prison Wardens , were the jailers of the Eternal Prison in Blood Omen 2 , they were 'grim reaper' styled enemies encountered by Kain exclusively in Chapter 8: The Eternal Prison.

Prison Guardians wore a long hooded cloak and armor and had an armored faceplate. They were armed with Scythes (which Kain could not pick up) and were powerful, resilient enemies with plenty of Blood and Lore. Kain first encountered the Prison Guardians when he entered the Eternal Prison, searching for the Builder. Upon entering a Guardian teleported to the lectern in the entrance and warned Kain that no "guests, visitors or intruders"   were permitted in the Prison and ordered Kain away.

The Guardians frequently "talked big" giving Kain several warnings and even teleporting Kain away from the Prison to impede his progress, before finally ambushing and attacking Kain. Typically Prison Guardians would attack by teleporting close to Kain and then becoming invisible (though they could still be tracked with autoface and their prominent glowing eyes, which remained visible).

Prison Guardians frequently assaulted Kain as he made his way through the Eternal Prison ; they were seen at other times trying unsuccessfully to stop Magnus attacking another prisoner. As Kain tried to make his way out of the Prison, he activated several mechanisms that evidently caused some destruction in the Prison machinery, the guardians would eventually tell Kain that he had "ruined their great experiment" and that the prisoners lives could never be redeemed. The fate of the Eternal Prison and the Prison Guardians after Blood Omen 2 is unknown.
