Raziel, the sink shower, plague Nosgota, immortal. He is doomed to wander forever between two worlds - the material and spectral. His glory and the curse - Soul Reaver. Sword ghost always confined to Raziel, being an integral part of the former vampire - it can neither throw nor lose. In a sense, Soul Reaver is a living weapon, he has his will and a sense of hunger.
Sword endowed with tremendous power, but for its power to pay. With each fresh blow to the thirst of the soul more and more possessed by the sword, but when it reaches a maximum, Soul Reaver starts to feed through Raziel, parasitizing a peculiar manner and robbing his employer required that energy.
In its relentless pursuit of Cain Raziel goes farther and farther into the past Nosgota. When meeting with the shadows of a forgotten era, it is becoming increasingly bogged down in a web of fate, prostrate in time, which says nothing about history itself. When his mission Raziel returns to the sources, it becomes clear that a little personal revenge turns into a heroic campaign, the outcome of which depends the future of the whole world.
