Legacy of Kain: Defiance (2003 Video Game)

Michael Bell: Raziel

Quotes 

• Raziel : The two become one... both Soul Reavers... together... and the Scion of Balance is healed... And I am not your enemy... not your destroyer... I am, as before, your right hand...! Your sword...!

• Ariel : What manner of creature approaches?

  Raziel : I know you well, Ariel, though you do not yet know me.

  Ariel : I have no time for riddles, strange one.

  Raziel : All you have is time. I have come to seek your guidance.

  Ariel : I counsel only one man, and you are not he.

• Raziel : Vae Victis... woe to the conquered!

• Kain : Listen to me, you must understand that every creature is bound to one predestined path. We are all shackled...

  Raziel : To the Wheel of Fate. Believe me, i know that even better than you do.

  Kain : All but one. Because of your remaking, you are the one unbound creature, the one amoung us all that truely has free will. You have a choice, Raziel.

  Raziel : Which i'm sure i must make at your direction. Your pawn has reached the end of the board, Kain!

• Elder God : What do you profit from this defiance?

  Raziel : There's some grim satisfaction in infuriating you.

• Elder God : Relinquish your will... and feed.

  [Striking at the ground with his fist] 

  Raziel : No.

• Elder God : Embrace your calling, Raziel. You will find that just as defiance has its price, so obedience has its reward.

  [(Rising to his feet] 

  Raziel : And submission is not always as it seems.

• Raziel : I refuse to do your will!

  Elder God : I can see into your heart, Raziel. It is not your will, but cowardice that keeps you here.

  Raziel : How so?

  Elder God : You know what fate awaits you when you leave the underworld. That phantom weapon you bear is a constant reminder, isn't it? The sword is waiting for you out there somewhere, and you tarry so as not to meet it.

  Raziel : [narrating]  I could not deny it. As long as I lingered here, defying my captor, I was able to postpone what I feared was my inevitable doom; to become the ravenous spirit imprisoned in the Reaver blade. But that sentence was no worse than the stalemate I now endured. Better to face one's destiny than cower from it.

• Raziel : The banished race foretold a hero who would deliver them from their oppressors, and destroy the shackles of the Vampires' tyrannous God. The same hero that bore the flaming sword. What game was this, where every player on the board claimed the same pawn?

• Raziel : Your pawn has reached the end of the board, Kain. And now my powers may even surpass yours. How ironic if the creature that you made should prove your own undoing. Now, we finish this.

• Raziel : Enough of your sermonizing! Are you trying to bore me into submission? Why must this game go on? We both know what you are. You're no better than the vampires you so despise, a voracious parasite cloaking its appetite in a shrod of righteousness! I refuse to do your will.

• Raziel : You want this room cleared of its vermin?

  Elder God : If you wish to leave it.

• Ariel : He will do what he must when the time comes.

  Raziel : By choosing his own death? A sacrifice for the world? You don't know Kain very well.

• Raziel : [to Elder God]  And i'm beginning to think the vampires committed suicide only to escape your voice.
