Vengeance
Raziel, now the Elder God's fledging angel of death, resurfaced to discover that centuries had inexplicably passed since his execution. Kain's empire lay in ruin, and Raziel found himself assailed by the degenerate offspring of his former brethren, who had long-since devolved into monstrous forms.
Undettered by these revalations, Raziel pursued Kain across Nosgoth's blasted landscape, galvanised by a hunger for revenge, and a relentless new thirst- not for the blood of humans, but for vampires' apostate souls.
Kain, however, had other plans for Raziel. Seemingly unsurprised by Raziel's miraculous return, Kain baited Raziel along the course of his single minded vendetta, channeling him into battle with his mutated brethren, and into a fateful confrontationat the Pillars, wherein Kain raised the Soul Reaver against Raziel.
The ancient blade, believed to be indestructable, shattered when Kain attampted to strike Raziel down. The soul-devouring sentience captive in the blade was thus released, and binding itself to Raziel as a wraith-blade, became his symbiotic weapon.
Kain seemed not stunned but strangely satisfied with this shocking outcome, and lured Raziel further into Nosgoth's northern wastes, leading to their final confrontation in Moebius's long-abandoned Chronoplast chamber.
