Vorador

Unfortunately, by that time it was too late for Vorador to save his loved ones. Out of guilt, rage, and despair, Vorador spent the next several millennia locked away in his isolated mansion. He went out only to feed, and surrounded his mansion with hazards to ensure that he would be left alone.  The tragedies he had endured taught Vorador to despise all of humanity, while valuing the lives of his fellow vampires above all else.  He was always willing to provide younger vampires with sanctuary, nourishment, or protection.  Kain sought Vorador’s assistance in defeating Malek once and for all.  Although Kain originally feared becoming as inhuman as Vorador, the elder vampire eventually earned Kain’s respect as a mentor. 

Vorador’s death was arguably the greatest tragedy to ever befall Nosgoth.  The vampire hunters’ guild captured Vorador along with the other few surviving vampires, and murdered them all in a final massacre at the city of Stahlberg.  Vorador watched helplessly as the other vampires he had protected were decapitated one by one in front of a cheering crowd of cowardly humans.  Vorador’s death was their grand finale. And after watching the last of his people die, Vorador had no will left in him to live.

Hash’ak’gik
Also known as “The Unspoken” and “The Dark Entity,” Hash’ak’gik was a demonic being who was once worshipped as a god by a cult in Avernus.  At his demand, his followers sacrificed their firstborn children at his alter so that "he may take nourishment from them."  Hash also played a very important role in bringing The Circle of Nine to ruin. He possessed Mortanius, (the guardian of Death) and took partial control of his mind. Mortanius later killed Arial, (the guardian of Balance) under Hash’s influence, thereby officially destroying the balance of Nosgoth.  Although his motives were never clear, Hash seemed to regard the lives of others as no more than a game.  At the end of Blood Omen, Kain faced and supposedly defeated Hash.

William the Just/ The Nemesis
William “the Just” was once a kind and prosperous human king.  However, under the manipulation of Moebius, (guardian of Time) William was urged to become a power-hungry tyrant, obsessed with conquest.  He organized the most powerful army in Nosgoth, and earned a new title: “The Nemesis.”   The Legions of the Nemesis destroyed everything that lay in its path, as it continued to expand the borders of William’s domain.  Once the Nemesis had laid waste to Stahlberg, the city of Willendorf became its next target.  Kain rallied “The Army of Hope” in an attempt to drive back the invading army.  When that plan failed, Kain was sent fifty years into the past, to the time when William was still loved by his people.  It was then that Kain killed William, and took the king’s blood to restore his own strength.  William’s people never knew that their beloved king would have one day slaughtered them all.  They found his drained corpse, and took their vengeance upon all Nosgothic vampires.  They joyfully succeeded in murdering all but Kain.

Elzevir the Dollmaker
Elzevir was an odd, little, old man who lived as a hermit and collected souls.  This he did by imprisoning his victims’ souls in the dolls he had made to represent them.  Elzevir’s most prized possession was the soul of King Ottmar’s daughter.  His motives for taking her soul were never quite understood.  However, the grief his actions caused Ottmar brought his entire kingdom to its knees.  Perhaps the little man derived pleasure from having such ‘power.’

King Ottmar

Kain slew Elzevir and returned to Ottmar with the doll containing his daughter’s soul, thereby earning the king’s gratitude.  At Kain’s request, Ottmar then led his troops against the Nemesis.  Unfortunately, his army was no match for the Legions of the Nemesis, and Ottmar died in a very bloody battle.
