Demon hunter axemen were mid-range fighters, competent in close-quarters combat, but with a greater range than their swordsmen allies. Axemen wielded heavy axes, giving them powerful, but ultimately slow attacks. Along with their offensive power, Axemen were also defensively quite strong, regularly blocking attacks and able to withstand a lot of damage.[Soul Reaver 2 manual][Soul Reaver 2 strategy guide (Prima)][1] Demon hunter axemen were often encountered along with other Demon hunter enemies and Demons[Soul Reaver 2].
Raziel first encountered Demon hunter axemen (and other demon hunters) in the Demon-infested Sarafan Stronghold shortly after he emerged from its Time-streaming chamber in the Post-Blood Omen era. They would frequently be encountered throughout that era, particularly in the Sarafan Stronghold, Pillars area, Swamp, Uschtenheim and Mountain areas[Soul Reaver 2].
Notes[]
Though explicitly hunting Demons, the Demon hunter enemies will notably attack Mutants if confronted with them.[Soul Reaver 2]
Given the relationship between the Demon hunters and Moebius's mercenary army, it is possible that the some of the demon hunters encountered by Raziel in the Post-Blood Omen era may be descendants of those in Moebius's Army.[Soul Reaver 2 manual][2]
