Thieves [1] were Enemy characters featured in Blood Omen 2 . They were seen in the Smuggler's Den, the Lower City, the Upper City and the Sarafan Keep .
Thieves were found in Blood Omen 2, where they were first encountered in Chapter 2:the Den.[2] Thieves were said to "rule the streets" of the Den [3] and they particularly populated that area of the city[4]. Thieves could also be encountered in Chapter 3: The Lower City [5][6]and were seen in the upper parts of the city, where they were seen apparently raiding Aristocrat houses in Chapter 4: The Upper City[7] and even the Sarafan Keep itself in Chapter 5;[8] in these instances the Thieves were much more covert in their methods, using sewers, tunnels and rooftops to avoid detection by the Sarafan [6][7].
Thieves are among the weaker enemies Kain encountered in Blood Omen 2. They generally wore a hooded cloak that came in a variety of colours and were armed with a Dagger[1] and a Crossbow (which Kain could not pick up and use). Thieves were quick and agile but not particularly strong or resilient, they could also shoot fire arrows at Kain if he remained at a distance. Thieves would attempt to run away if sufficiently injured[1].
Notes
A Thief in game
- Debug Information calls the thieves "Thif".
- Prima's Official Blood Omen 2 Guide is inconsistent in its naming of some of the enemy characters; Thieves are referred to in early chapters as "Sarafan Archers "[2] - a different enemy class. Later on, by Chapter 4, the guide begins to refer to them as "Female Thieves"[7] (having initially named the Thugs as "Thieves"[9]).
- Thieves are generally seen throughout the lower areas of the city of Meridian. They are particularly noted in the Smuggler's Den,[3][4] where a Cabal Contact indicated that they controlled an entrance to the Smuggler's Tunnel.[10] A small group of Thieves had even managed to breach into the basement areas of the Sarafan Keep[8] and the presence of several bunks and Sarafan guards in the area suggests this may be a regular occurrence, with the Thieves frequenty raiding the keep.
