Anarcrothe

Anacrothe is an antagonist character in Blood Omen, one of the insane sorcerers whom the main character is tasked with killing in order to proceed in the game. Anacrothe appears only in Blood Omen where he is voiced by Richard Doyle.

A member of the Circle of Nine, Anacrothe serves as the Guardian of the Pillar of States. His experiments in the art of alchemy have left him with unsightly scars. After the Circle was driven mad, Anacrothe used his magic to create the Dark Eden area along with fellow Guardians Bane the Druid and Dejoule the Energist. During the course of the game Kain confronts them there, but Anacrothe proves to be elusive, summoning Malek the Paladin and making an escape. At the end of the game Mortanius the Necromancer does Kain's work for him, killing Anacrothe during a dispute and enabling Kain to purify the Pillar of States.
