The Post-Banishment Hylden were the second 'generation' of Hylden in Nosgoth, effectively created when the Ancient Hylden were banished to the Demon Realm and that dimesion took its toll on them, rendering them "hideous" and "mad". In attempting to return to Nosgoth's Material Realm, the Post-Banishment Hylden have (through various means) been antagonists in Blood Omen, Blood Omen 2 and Defiance; although they have only appeared in their true form in Blood Omen 2.
