William was killed, and the legions were expelled from time. The presence of the two blades triggered a Reaver-convergence, compromising the time-stream and enabling history to be rewritten. With his own incarnation of the Soul Reaver from the Blood Omen era, Kain battled the young William. For 'over forty years', Moebius was fated to influence and conspire with William, ensuring the future devastation of the land. He witnessed Moebius the Time Streamer, the corrupt Guardian of the Pillar of Time, orchestrating the legions' creation by rallying crowds against Nosgoth's vampires, and providing the young William with the legendary Soul Reaver sword.

With the legions poised to invade Willendorf, Kain traveled there to rouse the Army of the Last Hope. Though he seemed slightly ambivalent at first - he 'smirked thinking of the carnage at the hands of the Legions' - Kain acquiesced, and sought a way to stop them. This proved to be the case - Ariel eventually advised him that 'the Legions of the Nemesis are on the march from the north, crushing all in their path'.
