"I am eternally present, here and everywhere, now and always. I am the still center of the turning wheel,the hub of this world's destiny." ― The Elder God
"I am the Engine of Life,the source of Nosgoth's very existence.I am the hub of the Wheel,the origin of all Life,the devourer of Death." ― The Elder God
Summary[]
The Elder God is one of the main antagonists from the Legacy of Kain series. He is a giant squid-like creature, described as "A mass of tentacles and eyes", with godlike powers who feeds on the souls of the dead. Depicted as a sentient, writhing mass of tentacles and eyes dwelling deep below the land of Nosgoth, the Elder God claimed to be the hub of the Wheel of Fate, the preternatural cycle of birth, death and rebirth to which all souls were drawn. However, Raziel later accused the Elder God of merely being a parasite on the Wheel, not its hub. Although this was not confirmed or denied, a consistent fact was that the Elder God was sustained by the Wheel's turning.Thus, as vampires were immortal and their souls did not flow with the Wheel, they, and especially Kain,served as his greatest enemies.
