The nobleman Kain has been slain by a group of bandits and in his death, he is revived by the necromancer, Mortanius for his own ends. Kain is returned in the form of a vampire and yearns to exact vengeance on those who had killed him. Stronger and faster than a human being, coupled with a thirst for blood that must be satisfied regularly, he is able to dispatch his killers quickly. However, Mortanius and other forces seek to use him a tool in a greater plot. Mortanius is of the Circle of Nine, the guardians of the Pillars of Nosgoth.

These Pillars, the center of the world and balancing the forces, have become corrupted and the Circle members been driven mad. At the Pillars, Kain meet Ariel - a former guardian of the the Pillar of Balance, now a spirit after being murdered by an unseen assailant. She informs Kain of his relation to the Pillars and that the only way for him to restore the balance is to seek out each guardian and kill them. The fate of Nosgoth may hang on Kain decisions.

When you were among the living, you were a kind, noble man, but that's all changed. After your enemies murdered you in cold blood, you were given the option to get revenge and serve the Dark Lord. You accept and return to the world of Nosgoth as the vampire, Kain to get your revenge. However, that's not enough. Kain longs to destroy the evil who made him to reign supreme. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is an action/RPG with enemies to slash, a massive detailed world to explore, puzzles, other evil beings, a dark storyline told through computer animation, and mystical spells and items. Kain can transform himself into a wolf, nobleman, bat, and mist.
