Thus, as vampires were immortal and their souls did not flow with the Wheel, they, and especially Kain,served as his greatest enemies. Although this was not confirmed or denied, a consistent fact was that the Elder God was sustained by the Wheel's turning. However, Raziel later accused the Elder God of merely being a parasite on the Wheel, not its hub. He is a giant squid-like creature, described as "A mass of tentacles and eyes", with godlike powers who feeds on the souls of the dead.ĭepicted as a sentient, writhing mass of tentacles and eyes dwelling deep below the land of Nosgoth, the Elder God claimed to be the hub of the Wheel of Fate, the preternatural cycle of birth, death and rebirth to which all souls were drawn.

The Elder God is one of the main antagonists from the Legacy of Kain series. I am the hub of the Wheel, the origin of all Life, the devourer of Death.

After establishing his free will by refusing to kill Kain when prophesied, Raziel discovers that Moebius the Time Streamer had originally manipulated Kain into igniting a genocidal war against Vampires until he was the last of his kind. After having Raziel killed to be revived by the Elder God as a wraith during the events of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Kain travels backwards through time and is followed by Raziel into Nosgoth's past, uncovering the conspiratorial events that led to the land being doomed to an eternity of corruption.
