Kain: There's no shame in it, Raziel revenge is motivation enough. Even as early as Blood Omen, Kain shows this side of himself he's disgusted by the Vampire Hunters Moebius rallies for being hypocrites that "cloak their bloodlust beneath a veil of righteousness", whereas he makes no pretense to justify his killing.

Ambition Is Evil: Repeatedly accused as such, considering the fact that he essentially doomed Nosgoth to an eternity of decay purely so he could rule over it.
