Dumah is one of the villains from the video games: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2.
Dumah was voiced by Simon Templeman, who also voiced the titular Kain and several other villains in dark fantasy series, such as: Matthias Pavayne on the television series Angel, and Loghain Mac Tir in the video game Dragon Age: Origins.
Story
Sould Reaver 2
Dumah was formerly a Sarafan Inquisitor, who hunted down the vampires of Nosgoth to near-extiction, as ordered by Moebius. He participated at the raid on Janos Audron's refuge, alongside fellow inquisitors Melchiah, Zephon, Turel, Raziel and Malek, and witnessed as Raziel removed the ancient vampire's heart. The Sarafan left the refuge, taking with them Janos' heart and the Soul Reaver blade. Dumah and his Sarafan brothers (sans Malek) are killed by the wraith Raziel, who came from the future to inquire about the Reaver blade from Janos. Dumah and Rahab fought the wraith Raziel together. Dumah and his fellow commanders would be later martyred by the Sarafan Order, with a mural room inside the Sarafan Stronghold being dedicated in their name. Five hundred years later the stronghold would be repurposed for yet another order of vampire hunters led by Mobius. The killing of the Sarafan was ultimately revealed as being part of a predestined time paradox through which Kain would be provided with the Sarafan corpeses which he would ressurect as his vampire lieutenants.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Centuries later, when Kain rises his vampiric empire, he resurrects Dumah as his third lieutenant, the others being: Melchiah, Zephon, Rahab, Turel and Raziel. Dumah, along with Turel, were the ones who were ordered to throw Raziel into the abyss when he was labeled as a traitor, obeying the order without questioning Kain. After that, all the vampire clans scattered through Nosgoth. Dumah and his clan, the Dumahim, moved to the Ruined City, where they built their own empire. Dumah became over arrogant, believing he was invincible, and this opened him to an unexpected attack. His clan was almost decimated by human vampire hunters, and Dumah himself was chained to his throne and impaled by spears, living the rest of his days as a wandering soul in the spectral realm. After Raziel arose from the abyss as a wraith, he went after Dumah for revenge, entering Dumah's territory and finding his soul wandering around his corpse.
Raziel removed the spears from Dumah's body, allowing him to re-enter his body. Dumah thanks Raziel, however the wraith tells his brother that he hadn't forgotten who threw him into the abyss and intends to kill him. Dumah replies that his time in the limbo has honed his strength, and that now he was more powerful than even Kain. Raziel tries to fight him, but his attacks are useless against Dumah, so instead he lures Dumah into his furnace, where Raziel incinerates him. As Dumah's soul exists his body Raziel devours it, as a result gaining Dumah's constricting power, allowing Raziel to create a rope of energy around his enemies.
