Azimuth

Blood Omen era
In Blood Omen, Azimuth was the Guardian of the Pillar of Dimension. She was known as the "Matriarch of Avernus", the city's protector and ruler of the religious autocracy. She resided within Avernus Cathedral, the huge cathedral in the city's centre. Azimuth was bald, like the Sarafan sorceresses of Soul Reaver 2. Her Pillar token was a third eye that enabled her to look into other planes of existence, and she could open portals into these other realms using runes inscribed in the ground with human blood.

Azimuth had a sadistic nature even before she was afflicted with Nupraptor's insanity, and after his attack she was a 'raving lunatic'.¹ She turned her magic upon Avernus, allowing demons to enter it through her portals. They decimated the city, killing its people. Approaching Avernus in Blood Omen, Kain saw it burning; consuming itself before his eyes.

When Kain entered Avernus, he found much of the city in ruins and demons confronted him regularly. He fought his way to the cathedral and entered, collecting the Wraith Armor and the Soul Reaver before meeting the Lady Azimuth - as he called her - in battle. She was unaware that the Wraith Armor and Soul Reaver were kept in Avernus Cathedral, or so she said.

Azimuth summoned strong purple creatures against him (they looked like a type of demon, but Prima's Official Blood Omen Strategy Guide calls them 'Ogres'), and attacked him with homing green energy bolts; far longer-lived than the ones thrown by most creatures. She also teleported across the room if Kain got too close, making it difficult for him to strike her. However, when the opportunity arose, a single blow from the Soul Reaver was sufficient to kill her. Kain took Azimuth's third eye to repair the Pillar of Dimension.

As Kain left the Cathedral, he found a Time Streaming device. He then returned with Azimuth's eye to the Pillars. Ariel said Azimuth had stolen the Time Streaming device from Moebius, intending to summon creatures from different times as well as planes.
