I going to make a compromise between from what I have said and others have said.

Did Elder(Defiance)Kain alter his past when he postponed Raziel's absorption into The BR at the end of SR2 ?

Yes

In what way ?

With Raziel out and about, he resurrected Janos, however with Janos being alive at the time Fledgling(BO1)Kain refused to sacrifice himself, to alleviate The Pillars, The Hylden Lord escaped, possesed Janos, allowed other Hylden to return to Nosgoth, defeat Fledling(BO2)Kain, where upon after 200 years, the events of BO2 take place.

However when(and in the process) of altering history by postponing Raziel's absorption into The BR, Elder(Defiance)Kain essentially became a anomaly in a universe where certain events had not occured before in Nosgoth.

Elder(Defiance)Kain had made it a perogative to stop Raziel from ressurecting Janos, from what he had seen of the past altered version of Kain as observed in BO2.

So essentially the Elder Kain that removed The BR from Raziel at the end of SR2, and The Fledling Kain that fought the HL in BO2, which occured because The HL possesed Janos, whom was ressurected by a Raziel not yet in The Reaver Blade, are and aren't, simultaneously the same Kain, mainly because in order to keep the story, as known so far, intact, Kain(and Raziel), no matter what variation, will have to go back through The Chronoplast, in order to make any of the events of SR2 even possibly plausible.

By the way, I decided to take a trip down memory lane, by revisiting old threads in The Defiance Spoiler Forum and stumbled upo the post of someone named Donnie(remeber?), anyways, as much as the writers have established so far to an extant, the use of time-travel as a backbome to the LOK story, the way in which time travel(specifically the component of 'altering history')has been imployed, nullifies the cohesion of the story.

In order to understand what I said, you have add in the aspect of 'things as they originally were'.

A history-alteration, is as such, changing some thing what had originally been.

At what point in Nosgoth, is there not time-travelling or history-alterations ?

So what is the known possible history of Nosgoth, before any one went back in time with a Reaver, to change, known established circumstances ?

How does Kain's empire come in to fruition, if no stops WTJ from running amok as The Nemesis ?

Might none of The Sarafan ever have killed Janos, and if so, was Janos alive when The Pillars entered their dehbelatative stage due to a certain vampire not scrificing himsefl ?

Might Janos still have been possed by The HL, without it being initiated by time-traveling, history-altering incidences ?

As tediously(as in the form of a seemingly unique storyline) as it appears, certain ingredients of The LOK strory line, make it interesting, but has it's downside, in flaws as well.

Partially I meant in the theoretical temporal mechanics that occurs when something that's been established has having to happened, but then when circumstances are changed, an incident can occur in different order or having never occurred at all, however, the origin of the change(especially when it has a mental consciousness) we'll be aware, unlike anybody or anyone else, that a change has occured, and know the repercussions of that change, while simultaneously know the original event, before there was any change, thus in essence this 'origin' is seperate from anything or anybody, but can still act in accordance to keeping the new(though not noticed as new to anyone else) change intact.

When Kain removed the The Blood Reaver that was impaled in Raziel and absorbing him, he changed history and saw the reprucussions of the change, while simulteanously being aware of the histrorical event of Raziel being imprisoned into The Blood Reaver, though due to that being changed to the outcome of not happening(at least not yet), Kain was weaving his Fledling-self into events that had not occured in Nosgoth before, however he merely knew of the consequences(new memories)of changing history, but he also had never before physically gone through them, though only in the extent his Fledling-self, now will, though he is still seperate, being that he is an entity from a 'time' when Raz was to have been in the Blood Reaver, at The Sarafan Stronghold

By the way, why are some of the events that occur in LOK due to so-called history-reshuffling, seen as alterations, what does it matter, if something did happen, or had never happened before ?
