 Birth Date: June 8
 Blood Type: AB
 Weapon: Katana
 Weapon Name: Shishi-Oh

 Mitsurugi thirsted. Thirsted for an opponent stronger
 than himself. Even what he had once considered his
 greatest enemy, the Tanegashima rifles, no longer
 concerned him. Even Soul Edge, the ultimate weapon
 which he had sought, had become meaningless to him.

 It was at this time that he was suddenly attacked by
 those seeking fragments of the evil sword. Looking at
 the outfits worn by his attackers, they reminded
 Mitsurugi of the female ninja that interfered every
 time he drew close to Soul Edge. Mitsurugi's thoughts
 drifted, wondering what was happening in Japan. 
 Mitsurugi decided to return to his homeland.

 It was the end of the warring states era. Upon
 returning, Mitsurugi stayed  with the Noujima Murakami
 clan, who resisted the rule of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. The
 Murakami Navy Chose to make a last stand to protect
 their existence as proud men of the sea. Mitsurugi
 agreed to join the Murakami's fight.

 Centered around their large imposing warship, the
 "floating castle," the Murakami Navy commenced their
 nightmare raid. The battle began. Mitsurugi stormed
 onto the enemy ships like a hurricane and began
 swinging his sword like a savage beast freed from its
 chains.

 It was not enough. After the battle was over, he was
 decorated for the service and invited to see the
 Murakami commander, but he still could not get rid of
 the emptiness is his heart. The white-haired
 commander took notice of Mitsurugi's urge for battle.
 "Have you heard this rumor? In land far to the west,
 a warrior clad in azure armor has appeared." At those
 words, Mitsurugi looked up in surprise. A warrior in
 azure armor? It could be none other than the knight
 who wields Soul Edge!

 Mitsurugi quickly ran to the port.

 "Take me west! Now!"

 Giving his entire reward money to the boatman,
 Mitsurugi fixed his eyes on the horizon. He had but
 one desire -- a fierce duel! His heart beat rapidly in his
 chest. It was a reckless impulse similar to what he
 had felt in his youth.

 Seong Mi-na

 Age: 23
 Birthplace: Jirisan, Korea
 Height: 5'4"
 Weight: 106 lbs.
 Birth Date: November 3
 Blood Type: A
 Weapon: Zanbatou (Halberd)
 Weapon Name: Scarlet Thunder
 Discipline: Seong Style Longsword + Ling-Sheng Su
 Style Rod
 Family:
 Father/Seong Han-myeong
 Mother/Taken by sickness
 Brother/Taken by sickness

 Seong Mi-na traveled throughout the Ming Empire in
 search of Hong Yun-seong, a pupil from the Seong
 dojo, and Soul Edge, known as the Sword of Salvation.

 A chance encounter led her to learn the origin of her
 staff fighting style--the Ling-Sheng Su temple. She
 grew interested in the temple, but it turned out that
 Ling-Sheng Su had been destroyed several years prior.
 Seong Mi-na, however, managed to find a cave temple
 in which lived the former master of the Ling-Sheng Su
 temple.

 That man, Edgemaster, had suffered an injury and was
 now resting his body.

 Despite this, he gave in to the persistent Mi-na and
 agreed to face off against her.

 ...She suffered total defeat.

 No matter how many times she attacked, she received a
 decisive blow after trading only a few strikes. They
 were on completely different levels. Seeing her
 frustration, the old man suggested that she spend
 some time training here. Mi-na gladly accepted his
 offer.

 During her training, Mi-na spoke of the goal of her
 journey and Soul Edge. Upon doing so, the man told
 her the truth about Soul Edge, that it was a cursed
 sword that devours souls...

 Mi-na was shocked, but she knew that a man like him
 would not lie. She had to let Yun-seong know...

 There was no time to waste. She thanked Edgemaster
 for all he had done for her and hurriedly prepared for
 her journey.

 "I'll be back soon!"

 She bid a cheerful farewell to the old man and put the
 sword master's hermitage behind her.

 Weapon Name: Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru
 Discipline: Musoh-Battoh-Ryu

 Family:
 Immediate family/All taken by sickness.
 Master/Toki (Taki opposes him now that she has
 left the clan)

 Taki was concerned about Soul Edge, but at the
 moment, she was more worried about Toki, the leader
 of the Fu-Ma clan. She deliberately leaked some 
 information she had obtained about fragments of the
 evil blade in order to divert the attention of the
 Fu-Ma clan. After successfully scattering the agents
 sent by Toki, she headed for Japan.

 The Fu-Ma clan was a group that hid themselves from
 the world and lived to exorcise demons and beasts.
 Taki followed their activities and made contact with a
 faction of the Fu-Ma clan that opposed Toki. They
 revealed that he was in Hoko temple, located in the
 capital. Taki faced off against Toki in the shrine
 beneath the temple. Her former master's appearance
 had changed to that of a demon. Toki was drawing in
 all of the swirling spirits and energy of the temple.
 But no matter how powerful her opponent, Taki would
 not let it overwhelm her.

 It was a fierce battle.

 What gave Taki her slight advantage was ironically
 the Fu-Ma techniques that Toki himself had taught
 her, and Mekki-Maru, the sword that he sought after.

 Gravely injured from the ordeal, she sought to put an
 end to her former master. As Taki started to swing the
 final blow, a weak voice reached out to her.

 "Taki... is that you? It is very dark..."

 Taki was caught off guard. There was no sign of
 madness in his voice. She opened her mouth to call out
 her master's name, but Toki's eyes suddenly opened
 wide. An unidentifiable aura-like entity emerged from
 his mouth and disappeared into the darkness.

 Taki made preparations to leave the country at dawn.
 There was no doubt that Toki was heading for the evil
 blade. Soul Edge's presence was weak at the moment,
 which made it the perfect opportunity to pursue it.

 The life of a ninja is fleeting. Now, after all this time,
 Taki found herself ruminating over this as she became
 a crimson shadow running through the night.

 Pursuing Astaroth in order to avenge his comrades,
 Maxi arrived at a destroyed temple in the desert.

 It was clear that the temple met a fearsome
 destructive power. It was probably the work of
 Astaroth, but it appeared that he had already left
 this place.

 A man dressed in rags clutching something in his hand
 sat in the ruins. When Maxi asked the man about
 Astaroth, the man began to curse.

 "A cursed failure. Useless piece of junk. Damned clay
 puppet..."

 A chilling desire to kill raced through Maxi's mind. At
 that moment, the metal fragment in the man's hand
 glowed red. The man turned to look at Maxi. His eyes
 were crazed.

 "You have Soul Edge inside your body? What a
 marvelous specimen! My--"

 A dry thud sounded twice.

 "I have Soul Edge inside my body?" A dark emotion
 walled from within him as Maxi thought about this.

 Feeling an unidentifiable fear. Maxi kicked the metal
 fragment that lay on the floor into the rubble. Cold
 sweat poured out from his entire body at the ominous
 feeling when he touched it.

 The image of someone appeared in the back of his
 mind. Someone who had been enveloped in madness
 and lost everything, then sunk into deep depression
 after recovering his sense. But he could not remember
 who it was. Fearing he may have forgotten something
 very important. Maxi grew uneasy, but couldn't
 dwell on this at the moment--he knew what it was he
 needed to do right now.

 Putting the silent ruin behind him, Maxi soon
 disappeared into the distant point where the blue sky
 met the sea of sand.

 Obeying the orders of his late master, Voldo searched
 for Soul Edge and returned to the Money Pit with
 fragments of the evil sword. Voldo was deeply hurt to
 discover that the vertical shaft had been ransacked in
 his absence. He emitted an otherworldly wail of
 indescribable sadness and begged his late master for
 forgiveness.

 While inspecting the treasure, however, he discovered
 a new truth. The greedy thieves had taken the "false"
 Soul Edge he had obtained previously, along with
 the fragments of Soul Edge he had collected. The
 intruders were seeking Soul Edge, just like him. If he
 could track down these people and force them to tell
 him everything they knew about Soul Edge, it would 
 surely make his search easier.

 Imagining his beloved master encountering him and
 speaking to him with kind words, Voldo shivered with
 excitement. Of course, those thieves who had touched
 the treasure of his sacred master must die a fitting
 death.

 After preparing to leave the Money Pit, Voldo sensed
 the presence of a new intruder. He went out himself
 and disposed of the thief. Voldo then thought to
 himself in silence. If only he could obtain Soul
 Edge--the last treasure Master Vercci sought--he
 would be able to dedicate himself to protecting the
 Money Pit. But someday, he too would leave this
 world, just as his master had. He would need a
 successor to carry on his will and protect the
 treasure.

 Another guardian... surely Master Vercci would approve
 of this idea. Feeling satisfied, Voldo thought over
 this idea while preparing for his journey.

 The guardian of the secret storehouse ascended from
 the dark abyss to the surface and began to wander
 the outside world in silence.

 In order to save her children, Sophitia embarked on a
 journey once again. Following the rumors of Nightmare,
 she arrived on the bank of the Rhine river,
 overlooking Ostrheinsburg Castle.

 Breaking the silence, a small girl in dark green clothes
 suddenly appeared from the mist and spoke to her
 with an innocent smile. Sophitia remained on guard
 and drew her weapon. She could tell that the
 unusually large ring the girl carried was a weapon.

 "Soul Edge isn't in that castle anymore. Say, I'd really
 like to play with your children." the girl said.

 Sophitia attacked without a word, but the girl dodged
 the blow, disappearing into the mist with a twisted
 giggle. Sophitia hurried home and was relieved to find
 her family safe. She could not relax, however, for she
 did not know what she should do. Feeling uncertain,
 Sophitia headed to the temple of Hephaestus, god of
 the forge.

 But what awaited her at the temple was none other
 than the girl in green. Sophitia quickly picked up her
 sword and shield.

 "Ahaha! You want to fight me? Sounds like fun!" The
 girl in green beamed. Blocking the girl's attack,
 Sophitia looked into her eyes and saw the emptiness
 the girl held in her heart.

 "Poor child. You've never known happiness..." Sophitia
 murmured. The girl froze. Her expression changed from
 her previous fake smile to a look of extreme hatred.
 She knocked back the surprised Sophitia and took her
 distance.

 "You're annoying... when the time comes, I'll come for
 your children."

 For the sake of protecting the ones she loved,
 Sophitia steeled her resolve to eliminate the threat at
 the source. She announced her intentions to Rothion
 and once again put on her traveling clothes.

 "You be careful..." Rothion softly said to her.

 In the eyes of this woman, who believed in herself
 and fought her those she must protect, shone a light
 of hope that would illuminate the future.

 Father/Frederick (murdered by Siegfried)

 Collecting the powerful souls and the fragments of Soul
 Edge, Nightmare was approaching the revival of the
 cursed sword. He returned to Ostrheinsburg Castle,
 a place that had seen the blood of many spilled, and
 there found a man wielding a thin sword in his left
 hand. The man sought Soul Edge, but after a fierce
 battle, Nightmare defeated him.

 Nightmare closed in to finish him off, but at that
 moment, a brief flicker of Siegfried's will returned, and
 he struggled against the cursed sword. One voice
 sought atonement and a desire to restore pride.
 Another laughed, saying that all men shall despair at
 the darkness of death. 

 At this conflict raged within Nightmare's mind, the
 wounded man drew upon his last strength and
 unleashed a desperate final blow. The blow cleanly
 pierced the center of Soul Edge.

 Nightmare let out an inhuman howl and writhed in
 pain, two consciousnesses clashing within him.

 And finally, with a will of iron, Siegfried reclaimed
 control of his own body. At that moment, the area was
 covered in light, and Soul Calibur suddenly appeared.
 Reflexively, Siegfried too the holy sword and
 stabbed it into the eye of Soul Edge. 

 The power of the cursed sword was sealed, but the
 spirit went silent as well.

 "This isn't enough... I swear to seal away Soul Edge for
 all time and atone for my sins!" Smashing into pieces
 his detestable armor, Siegfried set out on a journey.
 However, his blood-stained fate would not release him
 so easily. The feeling of a grotesque right arm
 periodically welled up his memories. The whispers of
 the cursed sword echoed in his ears.

 And each time he was forced to fight those who sought
 revenge on Nightmare, his mind was wracked by guilt...

 Several years ago, Rock succeeded in rescuing Bangoo
 from the clutches of the evil cult that had kidnapped
 him. His trusty axe had broken in the process, but he
 did not regret it.

 The two of them were once again free, but deciding
 that Bangoo was not ready for a long journey, they
 headed up north along the coast and settled in 
 northern Europe. Rock hoped for Bangoo to grow
 stronger in the fierce winters of this land, different from
 the New World.

 One night during a snowstorm, Bangoo met with an
 accident. When the sun rose and Rock rescued him,
 Rock asked the boy if he was frightened of nature.

 "Yes, it's scary. But I can't bring myself to hate it..."

 Hearing this answer, Rock sensed that the time had
 come for Bangoo to become a man. Bangoo chose a trip
 across the sea alone as his ritual manhood, and
 Rock saw him off with a great mix of emotions.

 Rock was alone again.

 Bangoo had returned to his place of birth. But as for
 Rock...

 In the past, he had traveled in search of Soul Edge,
 the one clue linking him to his parents... Had old
 regrets and attachments surfaced now that he'd come 
 to this place?

 "No. I, too, need to become a man that Bangoo can be
 proud of," he said to himself.

 Rock decided to set out on his own journey to confirm
 his strength and will. The quest for Soul Edge which
 he had previously abandoned... once he completed that,
 he could proudly call himself Bangoo's father.

 With the image of the boy in heart, Rock cast his gaze
 one last time across the great sea.

 Over the course of her journey to remove all traces of

 She decided to return to Valentine Mansion to
 investigate the cause. After returning to the Valentine
 Mansion, among the books she brought back for
 research she found a particular volume that contained
 detailed descriptions regarding the nature and origin
 of the cursed sword. As she deciphered the ancient
 text, she soon found an account of the spirit sword.
 Soul Calibur--a sword that restrained the power of the
 evil sword and lent its power to fight against it.

 Just as she deciphered the text, a man with a large
 scythe appeared before her.

 "Who are you?" She demanded.

 "Did you read the book?" He quietly asked.

 In the silence that followed, the two of them found the
 answer to their respective questions. Ivy drew her
 sword and the white-robed man produced a gigantic
 scythe.

 Fierce combat ensued, but Ivy had to expend more
 mental effort than usual to make her sword obey her
 will. Her moment of hesitation left a slight opening in
 her defense, and she stumbled from the force of a
 heavy blow. The man with the scythe slowly picked up
 the book about the swords...

 "This is a mistake from my past. The world no longer
 needs this..." As he spoke quietly, crimson flames
 engulfed the book in his hand. He dropped the burning
 book onto the floor and turned to leave.

 "If you wish to learn everything about the cursed
 sword and the spirit sword, then you should follow the
 knight you know well..."

 Ivy made up her mind. She was going to find the truth.
 If Soul Calibur did in fact exist, she would obtain it
 for herself!

 On his journey to purify the cursed sword, Kilik ran
 into Xianghua, and the two of them once again
 traveled together.

 One day, the two of them arrived at a city that was
 enveloped in an evil energy that was not Soul Edge.
 Kilik did not know its source, but he and Xianghua
 worked together using the power of fragment of
 Dvapara-Yuga to purify the crazed citizens.

 A man bearing a large scythe appeared before them,
 however, and warned them to leave. Kilik did not back
 down, and lost in battle to the man.

 "I see that you possess arts for purifying evil, but do
 not underestimate the cursed sword..." That was the
 last thing Kilik remembered hearing before he lost
 consciousness.

 Kilik awoke to find himself in the hermitage of his
 teacher, Edgemaster. He had spent a month in a
 comatose state since Xianghua carried him here. In
 addition, he had lost the fragment of Dvapara-Yuga.

 Kilik realized his lack of skill. He had to strengthen
 not only his purifying arts, but also himself...

 Sensing what lay in Kilik's heart, his teacher ordered
 rigorous training. Kilik faced off against his teacher,
 who deliberately infused himself with the evil power of
 the cursed sword. It was Kilik's most difficult
 challenge. He trained with the aim of striking at only
 the evil energy which dwelled in his teacher's body.

 After three months, Kilik finally succeeded in landing
 a purifying strike on his teacher. Seeing that the
 training was complete, Edgemaster handed to Kilik a
 letter from Xianghua and a new fragment of Dvapara-Yuga.

 "I will work on my skills, grow stronger, and regain my
 courage. I'm sure that I we'll meet again. And next time,
 let's put an end to all of this. I believe in us."

 With her words in his heart, Kilik once again set off
 for the western lands.

 "I couldn't do anything..." The pain of defeat clutched
 at Xianghua's heart.

 After reuniting with Kilik, she had faced off with him
 against the man with the scythe and lost. No, in
 actuality, that fight had been entirely between
 Kilik and the man. The man had shown no interest in
 Xianghua. The only thing she was able to do was carry
 the unconscious Kilik and run away.

 Xianghua went to see Kilik's teacher, Edgemaster. She
 relaxed when the sword master assured her that Kilik
 would recover. Entrusting the old man with a letter for
 Kilik, she left the hermitage.

 Upon returning to her country, Xianghua went to stay
 with an old general, suggested and arranged by
 Edgemaster.

 There, Xianghua dedicated herself to her training with
 the sole goal of growing stronger, and her skills
 improved notably in a short time. However, she could
 not get rid of the shadow of the uneasiness that had
 fallen over her heart.

 "I mustn't fear" she tried to convince herself. Noticing
 her anxiety, the general's instructor spoke to her one
 day.

 "Sometimes, the path of the warrior requires letting in
 dark feelings, weighing them, then letting them go."

 After this day, she began training her mind. Her heart
 would be like water, letting all flow through her
 without breaking. After several months, he felt that
 she was now ready. She politely bid farewell and once
 again set out on her journey.

 When she met with Kilik, she would proudly say,
 "Sorry to keep you waiting! I've caught up to

 There should be family in his homeland, but
 they are no longer important to him.

 When he awoke, there was no way for him to know what
 had happened. All he remembered was the feeling of
 suddenly being pulled up from the dark abyss.

 The waves emitted by Soul Calibur when it struck the
 cursed sword had shaken his consciousness.

 The first thing he saw when he awoke was his own
 figure, transformed into that of a monster.

 In his fragmented memory, he recalled serving a grand
 priest in a dark temple, and he had taken countless
 lives.

 Aeon Calcos set out to find a way to become human
 again, while keeping hidden his monstrous form. He
 could not even meet his family with this body.

 "Lord, the fate you have bestowed upon me is too
 cruel." He did not yet realize the faint doubt that had
 sprouted in his heart.

 As time passed and still he found no solution, he
 finally decided to seek clues in the one place he had
 avoided, the evil temple. However, someone had
 destroyed the temple.

 With his only glimmer of hope extinguished, something
 important crumbled within him. Doubt spread through
 his heart.

 Why did his god remain silent during his plight? Even
 to his god, he was now nothing more than a cursed
 monster!

 The sword and shield his god had given him had
 served to steady his heart, but he now cast them aside
 and turned his despair into anger toward the god.

 He would cut down his god with the weapon that even
 his god had feared: Soul Edge. This would be the
 ultimate revenge. He no longer felt any fear toward
 the idea of becoming a cold-blooded beast.

 After retrieving his sword, Yoshimitsu devised a plan

 simultaneously fighting to protect the weak.

 He returned to Japan and gathered ruffians from
 throughout the land. They would crush the strong and
 defend the weak, and at the same time locate and
 destroy the fragments of the cursed sword. It was the
 birth of an organization of chivalrous thieves called
 the Manjitou.

 Yoshimitsu formulated a grand plan to steal a
 fragment of Soul Edge and other treasure that was
 said to lie within the mansion of a wealthy man.

 Unfortunately, the scheme ended in failure.

 The vanguard force that had been sent after the
 fragment was wiped out. As a result, the chain of
 command at the scene collapsed, and the operation
 ended in a dramatic failure in which many members of
 the Manjitou were captured or killed.

 From accounts of those they rescued, and from other
 information as well, it appeared that the captain of
 the vanguard force attacked his own men by surprise
 and fled with the fragment.

 Yoshimitsu could not believe that man would
 betray them. He was a man that Yoshimitsu had placed
 great hopes on as second in command.

 "Findest the fragment. When thou findest it, thou
 shalt surely findest him as well... Dismissed."

 At this brief command, the Mnjitou silently went into
 action once more. Sensing the presence of the cursed
 sword behind this event, Yoshimitsu set out to
 discover the truth.

 In the instant that the spirit sword pierced the cursed
 sword, no one noticed the will of Soul Edge escape
 from the sword. It escaped into the remains of the
 armor worn by nightmare, armor which had struck fear
 into countless men.

 Lacking Soul Edge, however, it could not even move
 this bodiless, empty shell of a host.

 After a time, a man with a scythe came to visit the
 place. He seemed to understand everything that had
 happened, and exchanged a wordless conversation
 with the cursed sword. After a few moments, the man
 agreed to help.

 The man with the scythe performed a ritual of ancient
 arts. The energy of the cursed sword and the swirling
 spirits of this place were woven together and bound
 into the remains of the armor. The soul of the cursed
 sword regained its body, and a tremendous, bizarre
 sword appeared in its hand.

 The memory attached into the armor had taken on
 physical form.

 Having acquired a new body, Soul Edge unleashed its 
 hunger upon the land, devouring all in its path. The
 souls of those who fell before it would find
 peace not even in death.

 "More... more!" In order to maintain its body, and in
 order to increase its evil energy, the Azure Knight
 sought stronger, richer souls.

 In the end, the twisted compass directing its path
 would surely point towards freeing Soul Edge itself.

 Rumors of a merciless butcher and the terror of the
 azure nightmare spread throughout Europe once again.

 After reviving, Astaroth set out again to locate the
 whereabouts of Soul Edge in order to offer it before
 Ares, the god of destruction and war.

 The leader of the evil cult and Astaroth's creator, the
 grand priest Kunpaetku, realized that his servant was
 not acting as instructed and cast a controlling curse
 on Astaroth from the temple.

 But with the fragment of the cursed sword and the
 power of Ker, the agent of death, Astaroth resisted
 the curse.

 To Astaroth, the cult was now nothing more than an
 obstacle in his path. The monster returned to the
 Temple of his birth and became a whirlwind of
 destruction.

 Pursued into the deepest part of the temple by
 Astaroth, the grand priest escaped at the last moment,
 leaving behind these words:

 "You failure! You may have been modeled after a
 human, but in the end, you're nothing more than a doll!"

 Astaroth could not believe what he heard. At those
 words, Astaroth began  searching through the crumbling
 temple and eventually learned that he had been
 created in the image of someone known as the "white
 giant."

 After utterly destroying the structure, Astaroth
 thought to himself. His model, this "white giant,"
 must surely be the most powerful soul in the world. He
 would offer up that soul as a sacrifice to the cursed
 sword.

 His giant form began to move. He had chosen his next
 objective.

 Astaroth himself did not realize the hidden desire
 within him to destroy the white giant so that he could
 become complete--a unique being with no model.

 Cervantes de Leon

 Age: 48 (Aging has stopped)
 Birthplace: Valencia, Spanish Empire
 Height: 5'10"
 Weight: 176 lbs.
 Birth Date: January 1
 Blood Type: None
 Weapon: Soul Edge (Long sword type) & Pistol Sword
 Weapon Name: Soul Edge & Nirvana
 Discipline: Memories of Soul Edge

 Family:
 Father/Killed in battle
 Mother/Deceased
 His Crew/Slaughtered by his own hands (he has
 no knowledge of the incident)

 By making use of the fragments of the cursed sword
 within his body, Cervantes succeeded in preserving his
 own will. With Soul Edge and the Adrian, he devoured
 the souls of brawny men of the sea.

 One day, when he had moored his ship in an opening in
 the cliffs in order to avoid the stormy waves, the
 presence of the "other" Soul Edge that he had felt up
 until this time suddenly disappeared. Then, his body
 began to crumble! The fragments of the cursed sword
 within his body were losing their power. As things
 stood now, he would soon return to the form of a
 charred corpse.

 "Wow, looks like you're in trouble!"

 Turning to the source of the sudden voice, Cervantes
 found a flock of black birds and a girl in green at the
 top of the mast.

 "Who the hell are you?!"

 "I guess you could say that I'm a servant of the cursed
 sword."

 Cervantes grew angry at the overly cheerful girl, but
 listening to her words, he learned that a power equal
 and opposite of Soul Edge had sealed it...

 After the girl disappeared from the mast and into
 the darkness, Cervantes thought to himself.

 He had no intention of binding himself to a shared
 objective with the girl, but he had no choice but to
 maintain his life by absorbing new souls, and while
 doing so, destroy the enemy of Soul Edge and revive
 the cursed sword that had been sealed. 

 His obsession for souls flaring, Cervantes set out into
 the stormy sea.

 In his quest for Soul Edge, Raphael faced off against
 Nightmare in the land of Ostrheinsburg, but lost the
 fight. Before losing consciousness, Raphael unleashed
 one last desperate strike, which pierced the center of
 Soul Edge.

 He should have been dead. Yet, for some reason, the
 Azure Knight had left without delivering the final
 blow. He received treatment back at his mansion, but
 soon realized that he had been infected by the evil
 sword's energy. Although he still had his sanity, he was
 clearly no longer human. Amy also became infected
 while treating his injuries.

 Raphael escaped with Amy to a distant land eastern
 Europe, where they took shelter in a castle ruin that
 stood in the mountains.

 Amy had been transformed into a being that could not
 interact with the normal world. Raphael decided that
 he would change the world for her. His plan, woven
 from threads of madness, proceeded slowly but surely,
 infecting nearby lands with evil energy.

 But one day, an incident occurred in which some
 people who had been  transformed to evil returned to
 normal by the power of a "Holy Stone." Threatened by
 this object, Raphael decided to go on a journey to
 discover the true nature of the "Holy Stone" and
 obliterate it from this world.

 Just as he made his decision, an army appeared at the
 base of the castle. They had noticed the abnormality
 of the area and come to attack its source. He would
 need to drive off those fools, first.

 "Amy, I won't be back for a while. Be a good girl while
 I'm gone." Raphael bid farewell to his beloved Amy and
 descended below to the world that refused to accept
 them. The expression on the face of the reticent girl
 who watched him leave said nothing of what lay
 hidden in her heart.

 After leaving the village of the wind and pursuing the
 evil metal fragments. Talim learned that the source of
 evil was Soul Edge.

 Led by the whispers of the wind, Talim traced the
 root of the evil energy to a mountain range and 
 arrived at a watermill in which lived only children. 
 There, she met a boy radiated evil energy from his
 body and lay sick in bed. Talim made her mind
 to treat the boy.

 One day, a young man by the name of Yun-seong came
 to visit the watermill in search of Soul Edge. Talim
 explained its danger to him, but he was undaunted
 and chose to stay there in hopes of obtaining
 information. Eventually, Yun-seong's cheeriness led
 Talim to accept him.

 Concerned at the boy's worsening condition, Talim
 came up with the idea of passing all of the evil energy
 in his body through hers and into the wind. It would
 be dangerous for her as well, but she was determined
 to cure him.

 The boy refused her at first, but Yun-Seong convinced
 him to agree to the treatment.

 The treatment was a miraculous success.

 During the treatment, Talim saw amongst the high
 flying winds the image of a beautiful sword in a
 distant western land. Without understanding why, she
 felt her heart grow hot.

 After watching over the boy's recovery, Talim left on a
 new journey with the children's thanks echoing in her
 ears.

 Something was waiting in the west... her heart fluttered
 quietly with the premonition.

 Nephew/Patroklos  

 Determined to destroy Soul Edge on behalf of her
 sister, Cassandra left her home. In the mountains to
 the east, she happened upon a city where the 
 residents had lost their minds from the effects of evil
 energy.

 "What's going on?" The fragment she held reacted
 strongly to this place. Soul Edge was somehow
 involved in this bizarre phenomenon. She made up her
 mind to free the city.

 "My sister was able to do it... I can, too!" She said to
 herself. But then something unexpected
 occurred--cracks appeared in the sword and shield
 she had taken from the temple of Hephaestus.

 Feeling deeply apprehensive, there was nothing
 Cassandra could do but to flee the city. She felt
 completely helpless--she may have used her sword and 
 shield a bit roughly, but she couldn't believe that arms 
 made from holy ore could be damaged.

 As she gazed at her damaged sword and shield, the
 image of her sister and her young niece and nephew
 flashed through the back of her mind. Her sister
 smiled happily, leading her children by the hand...

 "No... I can't give up." Cassandra's eyes shone once
 again with determination. She returned to Greece to
 consult with her blacksmith brother-in-law, Rothion.
 Unexpected new was waiting for her upon her return 
 home... however.

 During Cassandra's absence, Sophitia had once again
 set out on a journey to destroy Soul Edge.

 "Damn you, Haphaestus! This is all your fault!"
 Cassandra cursed to herself, Though she didn't
 consider her sister having regained her previous
 strong will to be completely bad news.

 She had to help her sister. She would stand by her
 and support her.

 After receiving a new sword and shield from Rothion,
 Cassandra set out with a pure purpose in her heart,
 with the early dawn's soft light shining upon her back.

 While searching for the Sword of Salvation--Soul
 Edge--Yun-seong heard rumors that it was in fact a
 cursed sword. In his travels, he learned of a city which
 had been destroyed in a conflict over a fragment of
 Soul Edge. Children who survived the fighting were
 said to be living together outside the city.

 Visiting where the children lived, he found a girl
 named Talim and a boy sick in bed, both of whom
 seemed to know of Soul Edge. He took up residence
 there in order to gather information.

 One day, Talim who been treating the boy,
 announced that she would perform a more drastic
 treatment. The boy refused her, and Yun-seong
 attempted to persuade him.

 When the two of them were alone, the boy began to
 talk of his past. He was the son of the lord who had
 obtained the fragment of the cursed sword. His father
 had experimented upon him and filled his body with
 evil energy. His father went insane, war broke out, and
 the boy rescued the other children and fled.

 Yun-seong placed his sword, with its blade that is said
 to reflect the heart of its wielder, into the boy's
 hand. "You can see that you are not a demon..." The
 boy, encouraged. Agreed to the treatment.

 The boy experienced a miraculous full recovery.
 Shortly thereafter, Talim suddenly left. 

 "I didn't even get to ask her anything!" Yun-seong
 hurriedly prepared to  leave. As he bid farewell, the
 boy told him of the cursed sword and stated his wish
 that Yun-seong be sure to confirm the truth.

 The knight with the great sword rampaging in lands to
 the west is the one who wields Soul Edge.

 His next objective set, Yun-Seong set off for the west.

 Blood Type: A
 Weapon: Iai sword hidden in an umbrella
 Weapon Name: Ugetsu Kageuchi
 Discipline: Shinden Tsushima-ryu Battoujyutsu

 Family: No family. Her master, who raised her, died as
 well

 Without any relatives, and her obviously non-native
 Japanese appearance, she was looked upon with
 disdain and fear ever since she was a young child. She
 gradually closed her heart to those around her and
 became a drifter at a young age.

 She was eventually taken in by a man, and she grew up
 surrounded by his kindness. Although she was far from
 rich, he gave her all he could, including an expensive
 long-sleeved kimono. He also gave her the name,
 Setsuka--Snow Flower. Setsuka's caretaker worked in
 the region as a bodyguard, and he taught
 her the battou technique he used to protect his patrons--the
 art of fighting from the draw.

 One day, the man entrusted a letter to her. The letter's
 destination was far away, and it took her many
 months to travel there and back. Upon her return, she
 was shocked to find the name lying on the floor,
 grievously injured. Although he would not tell her
 what happened, she had no doubt that it was a result
 of a duel. Despite the wounds, the man tried to behave
 as he always had, but Setsuka could not hide her
 sadness and concern. His lessons, however, grew
 evermore strict and demanding. On the other hand, he
 showered her with overwhelming love, something
 she had never experienced until then. Her feelings
 towards him grew into something beyond mere fondness
 or reverence. It would not be until she visited his
 grave years later that Setsuka would come to
 recognize the true nature of the feelings that had
 taken hold in her heart.

 Visiting his grave, she recalled the words he had
 spoken to her on his deathbed.

 "Do not think about vengeance. That fight was one of
 the most exciting moments of my life. I want you to
 live freely and carry on the techniques I taught you." 

 The burning hatred welled up within Setsuka when her
 master revealed the name of the fateful opponent,
 Heishiro Mitsurugi. It also made her realize what it
 meant to truly love someone.

 Although her master did not with it, she chose to
 avenge his death. She had few clues to go on, but she
 was sure that if she tracked down a warrior named
 Nightmare, she would eventually find Mitsurugi.

 Armed with an oilpaper umbrella containing a
 concealed blade and wearing the kimono that her
 teacher had left to her, her appearance was that of
 a  beautiful goddess of war dressed in bewitching robes
 of mourning.

 Zasalamel

 Age: Unable to determine due to his ability to

 Birthplace: Unknown due to his ability to reincarnate
 Height: 5'11"
 Weight: 170 lbs.
 Birth Date (of his current reincarnation): May 5
 Blood Type: B
 Weapon: Death scythe
 Weapon Name: Kafziel
 Discipline: Original Style

 Family: Long since deceased

 Zasalamel was originally born into a tribe that
 protected the holy sword. He was banished from the
 tribe, however, when he violated an edict due to his 
 arrogance. Eventually, he began to pursue the art of
 reincarnation. He found this secret art, obtained the
 power for his own, and became a being that could
 cross the ages.

 Reincarnation, however, was a painful ordeal, and
 eventually, he lost all joy in living. There was nothing
 to be gained with infinite time. The price of eternal
 life was the loss of a peaceful death.

 Wishing death, he once took possession of Soul Edge.
 Not even a death brought on by the evil sword could
 break the cycle of reincarnation. He then turned his
 hope to the spirit sword and returned to his
 birthplace, but his tribe had  disappeared, leaving no
 trace of Soul Calibur. 

 After reaching his current reincarnation, Zasalamel 
 tracked the whereabouts of Soul Edge from the
 massacres caused by the Evil Seed and Nightmare, and
 also learned that the spirit sword had finally
 appeared. It was the perfect chance to obtain both of
 them at once. Both the cursed sword and the spirit
 sword, however, lacked their true strength.

 In order to revive the cursed sword, he brought the
 Azure Knight back to life and created conflict within
 the mind of Siegfried, the one who possessed both
 swords. Zasalamel searched out survivors of
 Nightmare's carnage and directed them towards
 Siegfried. the strong hatred and hostility that they
 bore would surely be enough to shatter Siegfried's will.

 If the cursed sword grew in power, then the spirit
 sword would regain its strength as well.

 When the conflict between those two opposing forces
 reached its peak, would he be able to use that
 ultimate power to achieve a final death?

 Family: No family, but now accompanied by a flock of
 Watchers

 There was an underground organization called the
 Bird of Passage that hid in the shadows of history.
 They formed contracts with the powerful and sent out
 assassins to eliminate their enemies. Tira was an
 assassin raised by this organization. The act killing
 had become such a regular routine in her life that
 she needed to kill on a regular basis for the stimulation
 it provided.

 When the Evil Seed rained down, Tira was in the
 middle of a mission and the chain of command
 collapsed. Tira was suddenly set free from the
 underground world.

 She has since forgotten where she was when this event
 transpired.

 For a while, she was taken in by an ordinary family in
 an ordinary city and lived a quiet life amongst
 ordinary people. This did not last long, however, and a
 simple event caused her to murder the entire family.

 She then began her wandering lifestyle, killing those
 who crossed her path. Her emotions grew intense to
 where the slightest trigger could cause her to become
 depressed or manic.

 One day, she came across information about Nightmare,
 and her heart leapt at the thought of finding
 someone like herself. Following the trail of slaughter,
 she tracked down the Azure Knight.

 "Finally, someone to whom I can give myself entirely..."
 thought Tira.

 Now a faithful servant of the evil sword, she operates
 behind the scenes, controlling a flock of ravens. She
 has been given two missions.

 Her first task is to destroy the spirit sword and free
 the evil sword. Her second task is to locate a new host
 for the cursed sword.

 Those who meet with her approval shall have
 their souls burned by the flame of the cursed sword.
 Those who do not, Tira will surely take their lives to 
 bring joy to her own.

 Once, in an age now found only in myth, there was a
 man known by the name of Olcadan who was skilled in
 every kind of fighting art.

 With one single exception that had ended in a draw,
 he could boast that he had been completely
 undefeated in innumerable duels he had fought. He
 then turned his eyes to the gods. He fought and
 defeated a great owl that was a messenger of the god
 of war. The angry god cursed Olcadan, turning
 his head into that of an owl. Upon seeing this curse, the
 people tried to obtain the gods' forgiveness by
 capturing Olcadan. Sorcerers known as the "sages of the
 oak" were sent after him. They took advantage of
 the vow he had made in order to become strong and
 captured him.

 The god of war appeared in the form of a headless
 great owl, and sent Olcadan down into an ancient ruin
 that sprawled deep beneath the earth.

 Unable to find an exit, he gave up and resigned
 himself to his fate, falling into a deep slumber.

 The power of the Evil Seed, however, broke the seal of
 the labyrinth and Olcadan managed to escape.
 Stepping out from the labyrinth for the first time in
 an eternity, he learned that the world outside had
 changed greatly since his era. He was not particularly
 troubled by this, however. Those waves of power that
 had interrupted his sleep were undoubtedly the
 greatest power of this era.

 He learned to survive in the new world by teaching
 people the fighting techniques that himself had
 developed, and, over the course of several years,
 gradually learned about this era. Then, in order to
 restore his combat senses that had dulled over the
 course of his long sleep, he once again cut off contact
 with the world by holing up inside the labyrinth. He
 will challenge the most powerful opponent of the era.
 That opponent is a pair of swords that had been
 young and weak in his era, but these weapons, crafted
 by the hands of man, now rivaled the gods...

 The Murakami Navy became famous during Japan's
 warring states period. But when the country was
 united under Hideyoshi Toyotomi and he issued his 
 proclamation against piracy, they were slowly robbed
 of their power. The final resistance put forth by the
 Murakami forces of Noujima was met by the Kuki Navy,
 who had suffered in the past at the hands of the
 Murakami. Both sides fought fiercely in a series of sea
 battles. While originally holding the advantage, the
 Murakami forces of Noujima were eventually pressed
 back by the Kuki forces. The Kuki forces were backed
 by Hideyoshi, the effective leader of Japan, and in the
 end, the Murakami finally yielded. 

 In the records of this conflict, one can find the name
 Heishiro Mitsurugi. At the beginning of the conflict, he

 the monks of the temple insane, and they tore each

 way, the proud Ling-Sheng Su temple vanished. 

 The people who will live here dare not to approach this

 Great Buddha made from the iron of weapons

 This place includes a tributary of the spiritually rich
 underground waterways that crisscross Japan, and is a
 place in which dark powers gather. Once before, in
 this place, Taki, with her sword Mekki-Maru in hand,
 sealed an ancient evil spirit.

 Through the dark power of Soul Edge, the
 head of the Fu-Ma clan, Toki, had become a demi-demon and had
 merged with several evil spirits, including the evil
 spirit that Taki had sealed. His fight with Taki
 occurred in this sinister Great Buddha shrine. Bathed

 shrine has become a nest for all sorts of creatures,

 Those who have foolishly ventured into the pit have

 On a certain lakeshore exists a secret arena
 constructed to recreate that world. Men of power who
 have already exhausted all other luxuries the world
 has to offer come here to watch men fight for their
 lives. This place was built in search of this ultimate
 stimulation.

 In contrast to the blood-stained madness of the arena,
 the surrounding landscape is pleasant and peaceful.
 The surface of the lake calmly reflects sunlight onto
 the gently swaying trees of the forest...

 The arena, which has tested the blood of countless
 warriors, breathes deeply of the clear lakeside air and
 quietly awaits the signal for the next battle to begin.

 [Valentine Mansion]


 The mansion of Count Valentine appears dark and
 abandoned, but a light flickers in one corner of the 
 building. Ivy, adopted daughter of the late Count, now
 uses it as an alchemic workshop and a place for her
 experiments with magic. The Count had pursued Soul
 Edge as the key to immortality, but his daughter
 ascertained that what her father had sought was an
 evil sword that devoured souls. She swore to destroy
 it, and in this place the peculiar weapon dubbed the
 "Ivy Blade" was born. 

 And now, having learned of the existence of a sword
 that opposes Soul Edge, Ivy has holed up in her room.
 There, she pores over her books, making use of all her
 knowledge to research the spirit sword, Soul Calibur.
 Surely it will not be long before she sets out on a
 journey in search of further knowledge.

 [Proving Grounds]


 Deep in the Himalayan Mountains, upstream of a cold
 mountain river, lives a legendary sword master. It was
 quite some time ago that this old man chose to spend
 the remainder of his life in this old cave temple. He
 continues to live eternally. 

 And now, in order to control the power of the evil
 sword that he had absorbed, a young apprentice
 devotes himself to training in his place. Once the
 apprentice's fierce training is complete, he will set out
 once again to challenge the cursed sword. What
 thoughts will go through the mind of the old man as he
 sends Kilik on his way? 

 The flowing water that has watched the old man for so
 long offers up no words, merely continuing to flow as
 it always has.

 [Lotus Garden]


 Originally constructed as a retreat for the Ming
 Emperor, this garden is now a large park open to
 the public. 

 Most of the area is made up of water, and a
 combination of bridges and peninsulas creates a deep,
 complex landscape. 

 The view from the palace, the former residence of the
 royal family, is especially beautiful, entertaining
 visitors with the blossoms that change colors with
 the seasons.

 Currently, the park is under the management of a
 powerful, elderly general of the Ming Empire. Thanks
 to the kindness of the general, Xianghua now trains 
 secretly here amid the morning mist.

 [Silk Road Ruin]


 The south path through the western countries is one
 of the steepest parts of the Silk Road. Near the
 entrance on the west side lies an especially 
 eye-catching ruin that serves as a landmark to
 travelers.

 It is said that the building was build by a wealthy
 merchant during the time when this region was still the
 centermost route along the Silk Road. In everything
 from the patterns on the pillars to the decorations on
 the walls to the materials used in the floors, one can
 see the mix of Eastern and Western culture typical of
 a Silk Road ruin.

 But now, a dangerous person hides out here. No... this
 man has long since
