Personality:
Soul Edge is an apathetic, heartless being, who does not hesitate to kill anyone who stands in his path. He shows little to no sympathy for his hosts and servants, and punishes them severely if they even think to disobey.
The demonic sword is cruel, demanding, and all powerful, yet he can be manipulative and devious at the same time. He can twist your words.. and your neck. Be warned. Soul Edge is a creation of hell itself...
The Cursed Sword with a Vengeance
Bathed in blood, soaked with hatred...
Soul Edge was previously an ordinary sword... until it gained a soul, bringing it ultimately to life, after it had been bathed countlessly in pools of blood... It was the creation of hell, a living sword, which can speak and control whoever came into contact with its hilt... Thus, after it obtained the soul, it was named 'Soul Edge', however, it was also mistakenly known as 'The Sword of Salvation' to those who were unaware of its true intentions...
Somewhere shrouded amongst history, the first known wielder of Soul Edge was the Hero King himself, Algol. He withstood the sword's demonic influence, and learned to conquer its power without driving himself into insanity. However, Algol's son, Arcturus, was not so fortunate. He grew envious of his father's growing power, and soon he stole Soul Edge for himself, immediately confiding into its parasite-like mind...
The only known date in which Soul Edge had reappeared was sometime during the 16th century, in the midst of a hidden antiques auction somewhere in Europe... As if it had known where fate would lead it, Soul Edge had existed as two blades rather than one...
During a pirate ship raid in which was transporting these hidden goods to their location, Soul Edge found its new host: Cervantes de Leon. Soul Edge took over the pirate's mind, and within an instant, gave in to Soul Edge's hypnotizing spell, thus becoming 'possessed' by the demon sword.
Cervantes and Soul Edge led a twenty-five year era of destruction and slaughter, devouring souls, and strengthening the demonic sword, the remains of the victims' undead bodies serving as crew members for the Adrian. Until one woman stood in their way...
Sophitia Alexandra.
Sophitia encountered the Soul Edge wielding Cervantes at Valencia Port, Spain, dueling with the demonic sword and its pirate host, succeeding in breaking one half of it, only to be injured severely in return...
'Pathetic human...'
Her role was taken over by a ninja clad in red, donning a black mask over her nose and lips... Taki. She managed to defeat Cervantes, assuming she had defeated Soul Edge along with him, and returned home with the limp Sophitia in her arms...
However, Soul Edge arose as a demonic spirit, fleshless, its skin replaced with fire, using Cervantes as its body source... A young knight has soon found Soul Edge, temporarily destroying the spirit form of Soul Edge, causing it to retreat back into the sword...
The foolish knight then thought to grasp the seemingly dormant Soul Edge, one sword still remaining. As soon as his hands gripped around the hilt, Soul Edge entangled itself with the knight's hands, causing him to writhe in pain, and to become Soul Edge's next host... An eruption of evil energy was cast upon the world, entitled 'The Evil Seed', a disease of malfestation, and to make most fall under Soul Edge's power.
A year later, a knight wearing azure armour was treading the earth, in its hands, wielded an enlarged version of what was the demonic sword... The Azure Knight was given the name 'Nightmare', in reality, was the knight who dared to wield Soul Edge...
No sooner than a few months of destruction, a young girl wielded Soul Edge's counterpart... its mortal enemy, its destined twin, Soul Calibur. As soon as the Spirit Sword was thrust into the Demonic sword's animate eye, it revealed itself as its icy self.
With remains of the evil sword still present within Nightmare's body, Soul Edge was able to recover, and thus resurrected himself, continuing down the path of harbringing destruction, strengthening his weakened form once again...
During this path, he had encountered a French man, wielding a rapier, named 'Raphael Sorel'. A close yet desperate duel ensued, and within the last second, Raphael thrust his blade into Nightmare's core... Siegfried reawoke after his constant mental battle with Soul Edge, being released from its power. It was then where Siegfried plunges Soul Calibur into Soul Edge's eye, thus creating the Soul Embrace... where both swords were dormant, each other's powers neutralized.
It was during this Soul Embrace where Soul Edge and Soul Calibur whispered to each other... Despite their apparent differences, the Soul Swords wished for a similar goal... not to rely on hosts to fight for them, but rather, for them to fight on their own feet...
When the Soul Embrace was broken apart by Zasalamel, the Soul Swords returned to their rightful wielders, both hoping to achieve the same goal...
Soul Edge's tactic was power... He simply awaited until he gathered enough souls, storing his energy until he had enough strength to recreate himself in his spirit form permanently.
The time had come... Siegfried and Nightmare had encountered each other once more... Soul Edge awaited the destruction of Soul Calibur as Nightmare lashed at the crystalline knight. However, Soul Edge's plans had backfired...
Siegfried finally managed to destroy Soul Edge for good... the sword had disintegrated into thousands of tiny fragments... Fortunately for Soul Edge, the knight was foolish enough once again, destroying his own Soul Sword along with it.
Soul Edge and Soul Calibur were now even... unaware that Soul Calibur had also gained enough power to resurrect herself, Soul Edge emerged as a new being, a reincarnation of the fleshless demon he once was, shrouding his skinless face with a dark, hooded cloak, taking the memories of his former life, reforging his weapons in reminiscence of himself.
The demonic sword swore to find Soul Calibur for himself... and to kill her one and for all...
