** [[Rule of Cool]], [[Rule of Cool]], [[Rule of Cool]]. Raziel's ruined wings are important thematically as well as for gameplay purposes. From the beginning he was supposed to be a fallen angel type character seeking redemption, and from there it sort of evolved into him being a twisted echo of the original elder race that became the vampires who ruled over the Pillars (though clearly not the first vampires, as the Hylden vamp in BO2 seems to indicate.) |

* How, just '''how''' is the Soul Reaver possible to exist in the original timeline? This troper put together an [http://members.multimania.nl/matthijs_alberts/LokTimeline_web.htm entire multi-timeline for the series] and the original timeline is causing problems. By manipulating the Kain to kill William the Just, Moebius changed the timeline to incite a vampire genocide, making vampires extinct except for Kain, leaving him with two bad options (Although it later turns out that there is an [[Take a Third Option|Edge Of The Coin]], of course). Fine. So Kain refuses the sacrifice and founds an empire. ''But did his empire exist in the original timeline?'' If it did not, then how is the Soul Reaver created, since to become the ''Soul'' Reaver, the reaver needs to absorb the wraith Raziel. But if it did already exist, then why was it necessary to change history in the first place? And how would it have come into existence anyway? And why does Kain retain his memories of the original timeline if other paradoxes change his memories, like at the end of ''Soul Reaver 2''? |

** Nosgothic timeline is static, you did take that into account, yes? Right, now since we got that fact we can build upwards: |
