"My armies are all slain. My castle lies in ruins. My enemies have taken everything from me, all my wealth and power. But they could not kill me. I still walk the earth, weak but alive. They have taken everything but the beating of my undead heart. Now they will learn of fear, these mewing babies who thought they could destroy me. I shall regain my powers, and I shall come to them in the night. And my visits shall not be kind."
The story of BLOOD OMEN™ 2 takes place two hundred years after LEGACY OF KAIN™: BLOOD OMEN™, and several centuries before the events of LEGACY OF KAIN™: SOUL REAVER™. The vampire Kain awakens in a strange city with almost no memory of his former self. Another vampire, Umah, has taken him in and revived him to health after a deadly battle that Kain barely remembers. He is weak, and has lost most of his former powers. Worse still, his weapon, the Soul Reaver, is missing. Umah begins to fill Kain in on the recent past, and pieces of Kain’s shattered memory return.
Since the events of LEGACY OF KAIN™: BLOOD OMEN™, Kain had become a commander of an army of vampires bent on ruling the land of Nosgoth. In response to his rise to power, another faction appeared in the land: The Sarafan, a group of militant humans led by a mysterious and powerful figure, the Sarafan Lord. Determined to wipe out the vampire threat, The Sarafan clashed with Kain’s army for years. This war ended with The Sarafan finally triumphant over Kain’s army, and with Kain and the Sarafan Lord locked in mortal combat. The Sarafan Lord won this battle, stripped the Soul Reaver from Kain, and threw him off a cliff to his apparent death.
Umah tells Kain that his body was found and revived, and he has been brought to the capital of Nosgoth, the city of Meridian. Kain has been unconscious for over two hundred years, and in this time, The Sarafan have taken fascist control of most of Nosgoth. Vampires have formed a small resistance, called The Cabal, in Meridian to undermine The Sarafan. It is this resistance that Kain is now a part of. The goal of the resistance is simple: Kill the Sarafan Lord, and The Sarafan will crumble. Because The Sarafan do not know of Kain’s existence, he becomes the perfect agent to find and kill the Sarafan Lord. Kain agrees to help The Cabal for the time being, but he fully intends to follow his own agenda, and seek revenge however possible ....

"My armies are all slain. My castle lies in ruins. My enemies have taken everything from me, all my wealth and power. But they could not kill me. I still walk the earth, weak but alive. They have taken everything but the beating of my undead heart. Now they will learn of fear, these mewing babies who thought they could destroy me. I shall regain my powers, and I shall come to them in the night. And my visits shall not be kind."
Blood Omen 2 takes place four hundred years after the original Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, in which the vampire Kain chose to rule the world of Nosgoth in its damnation rather than die for its salvation.
Since the events of that period in time, Kain had become the powerful commander of an army fixated on ruling the Land of Nosgoth. In response to his ascension to power, another faction known as the Sarafan appeared in the land. The Sarafan are a group of militant and zealot humans led by a mysterious and potent figure, known only as the Sarafan Lord. Determined to wipe out the vampire scourge, the Sarafan clashed with Kain's army over decades of blood-stained and infernal conflict. Eventually, this war ended when the Sarafan triumphantly defeated Kain's army. In the final battle, the Sarafan Lord defeated Kain in mortal combat, stripped him of his macabre blade the Soul Reaver, and tossed him off a cliff into an abyss of apparent demise.
Yet, this was not to be so. Pure and true wickedness of Kain's ilk cannot be expunged so easily.
After more than 200 hundred years drifting in a void of unconsciousness, Kain groggily awakens in a strange place with almost no memory of his former self. Another vampire named Umah, had taken him in and revived him to health after Kain's little recollected and deadly battle with the Sarafan Lord. He is weak, and has lost most of his former formidable powers. Worse still, his trusted weapon the Soul Reaver is missing. As Kain regains presence in the waking world, Umah begins to fill him in on the events of recent past, while fragments of Kain's shattered memory return.
Umah recounts to Kain that when his torn body was found, it was revived and brought to the capital of Nosgoth, the city of Meridian. In the two centuries that Kain has been dormant in hibernation, the Sarafan have risen and taken fascist control over most of Nosgoth. Far from the great empire they once embodied, the Vampires now exist only as a small resistance to the Sarafan, called the Cabal, in Meridian. It is into this resistance that Kain emerges and is now, by brotherhood and lust for vengeance, a part of. The ambition of the resistance is simple: slay the Sarafan Lord, and the Sarafan Order will crumble. Because the Sarafan have no knowledge Kain's existence, he is the perfect agent to locate and kill the Sarafan Lord. Kain agrees to help the Cabal for the time being, until which time he sees fit to follow his own agenda, and seek revenge at all cost...
