Nupraptor

Nupraptor is an antagonist character in Blood Omen; one of the insane sorcerers whom the main character must kill in order to progress in the game. He only appears in Blood Omen, in which he is voiced by Richard Doyle, but he plays a significant role in the backstory of the series and is mentioned in later games.

Nupraptor is the Guardian of the Pillar of Mind, and his mental powers make him susceptible to fierce attachments to others, as well as irrational actions. Nupraptor was the lover of Ariel, the Balance Guardian, and he goes mad after her death, sewing his eyes and mouth shut to deny the outside world. Because of Nupraptor's psychic link to the rest of the members of the Circle, he forces the other Guardians to share his madness, contributing to the downfall of the Pillars and of Nosgoth as a whole.

When Kain sets out to kill the members of the Circle, Nupraptor is his first target. When the young vampire confronts Nupraptor, Malek the Paladin appears to protect him. Nupraptor dismisses Malek and fights Kain himself, a battle which ends with Kain's victory and Nupraptor's death.
