Magnus

Magnus is a character in Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain, and the game's fourth boss. He is the only one of the game's bosses who does not appear in the introductory cinematic. As Kain's champion and closest ally, he participated in the war with the Sarafan, departing Kain's camp in the night before the final battle to make an attempt on the Sarafan Lord's life. Defeated, Magnus was transported to the Eternal Prison south of Meridian.

Kain encounters his former lieutenant during his mission in the Eternal Prison. Driven almost entirely insane from two hundred years of torturous imprisonment, Magnus attacks Kain numerous times throughout the Prison, seemingly immune to vampiric weaknesses such as water and fire. Kain battles Magnus before leaving the Prison, defeating the vampire by causing a large statue of Moebius the Timestreamer to collapse upon him.

Though Kain first assumed that Magnus had betrayed him and joined the Sarafan Lord when he did not return to his war camp centuries before, the dying Magnus explained his failed attempt to assassinate the Sarafan Lord. Reconciling with his ultimately loyal lieutenant, Kain granted the thankful Magnus a swift death, obtaining the "Immolate" Dark Gift from his corpse before departing the Prison.
