Kain is a character and the main protagonist and title character of the Legacy of Kain video game series. First introduced in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain in 1996, he was created by Denis Dyack and Silicon Knights, and has appeared in all subsequent Legacy of Kain games under the direction of developer Crystal Dynamics. Between games, he serves as either the central playable character, or as an antagonist, but in all his depictions he has consistently been described as an antihero.
Clint Eastwood's character in Unforgiven inspired the moral ambiguity represented in Kain's portrayal.
The story of Oedipus significantly influenced Kain's development in later games (in a Sophoclean rather than Freudian sense).
