The origin of 'Hash'ak'gik' and the Hash'ak'gik cult is similarly kept vague with it suggested that the cult was present in Nosgoth 'ages' before the events of Blood Omen.

Within the story, only Turel is addressed as 'Hash'ak'gik' and it is ultimately unclear whether 'Hash'ak'gik' is the actual name of the Hylden Lord, a story created by the Hylden to inspire worship, or an actual myth or legend adapted and co-opted by the Hylden. Many different Hylden did so in order to command their disciples.' вЂ•Amy Hennig When Raziel meets Turel, Turel is actually being possessed by a number of other Hylden (not the Hylden Lord). In Blood Omen 2, he appears as the Hylden Lord (AKA Sarafan Lord). In Blood Omen, he uses the transformed body of Mortanius as a vessel. The actual Hash entity is a leader among the Hylden, who has his own agenda.

''Hash'ak'gik' is the name the human worshippers use for their god. The Defiance design team addressed the complication as follows: Later titles however cast doubt on this: showing that the Hash'ak'gik cult actively worshipped the Possessed Turel as 'Hash'ak'gik' showing a different explanation for the transformation of flesh seen at the climax of Blood Omen showing the Dark Entity was a Hylden (the same individual as the 'Sarafan Lord' from Blood Omen 2) and addressing him specifically as ' Hylden Lord' not 'Hash'ak'gik'. It is initially implied (but never categorically stated) that the Dark Entity confronted at the end of the Blood Omen is the demon 'Hash'ak'gik' with it also taking on the image from the floor of Hash'ak'gik's altar. The correct usage of the term 'Hask'ak'gik' is notably kept somewhat vague throughout the series.The words in the tome which Kain had discovered implied that it was all a cyclic phenomenon Turel had taken part in Raziel's execution under Kain's command, and his order to his disciples that they 'shed their Blood on the altar of the world' to sustain him appeared to emulate the fate which would befall his brother in the distant future. Turel, in his devolved state, was trapped, and utilized as the mouthpiece for the Hash'ak'gik cult periodically possessed by various Hylden, he was used to command the cenobites of Avernus, thus facilitating the downfall of the Pillars, which would eventually give rise to Kain's empire.

The entity behind Hash'ak'gik and the possession of Mortanius was the Hylden Lord, a leader among the banished militants. The Hylden were an ancient race whose banishment in the Demon Realm was sustained by the Pillars of Nosgoth they and the Unspoken were one and the same, and they were capable of possessing creatures in the Material Realm to do their bidding. Hash'ak'gik was a pseudonym forcibly used by Turel, his vampire brother from the events of Soul Reaver: Azimuth, a devout worshipper of the Hylden, had summoned Turel back through time using a time-streaming device stolen from Moebius. When Raziel later visited the Avernus Catacombs in Legacy of Kain: Defiance, he discovered the truth behind Hash'ak'gik and his worship. It was the 'Unspoken' which Ariel had warned him to be wary of he defeated it handily. As he died, Mortanius's body was transformed by the entity, taking on the shape of the monster depicted in the shrine's image. When he confronted Mortanius at the end of his quest, he realized that the Death Guardian had been possessed by a malevolent entity - an entity which, through him, had orchestrated the death of Ariel and the corruption of the Pillars. The floor of this altar room was decorated with a demon-like image, but Kain had yet to recognize its significance. 'Bring me your first born, and shed their blood on the altar of the world, so I might take nourishment from them.Дo this without question, or suffer my wrath for eternity.'ДЄnd its will was done.' вЂ•Hash'ak'gik's altar 'And Hash'ak'gik spoke to the world, and all who heard trembled. The shrine room was gory and chaotic, and it contained a blood-stained tome which read as follows:

While exploring Avernus Cathedral and its Hell dungeon in Defeat Azimuth Kain stumbled across a Secret altar dedicated to the worhip of Hash'ak'gik. Kain encountered tales of the entity throughout Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, with tales of the cult mentioned by Villagers of various towns. Hash'ak'gik was a 'dark god' worshipped by the Humans of the Hash'ak'gik cult in the events of Blood Omen, Pre-Blood Omen era and possibly previous ages of Nosgoth.
