The inspiration for Rahab’s vampire appearance in Soul Reaver is another that has not been declared officially. However, Daniel Cabuco mentioned him to be a collected, level headed character. I sniffed around for some source material anyway to see if I could find possible inspiration for his looks. Rahab has level cheekbones with his jawline and uniquely set and shaped eyes. His almost fish-like lips extend the length of his mouth fully from corner to corner, both upper and lower. I found similar features in a silent film actor by the name of Buster Keaton. Keaton was famous for his ‘deadpan’ emotionless facial expression in his films and nicknamed “the great stone face”. He was a maverick when it came to making his own stunts and was said to have broken every bone in his body collectively during the time he was an actor. The pain didn’t matter so long as he could execute a scene successfully the way he envisioned it. He made several short films including “the haunted house”.
