A comprehensive list of minor and miscellaneous characters from the Soul series of fighting games produced by Namco.

Minor characters

Minor official characters within the series' storyline

Assassin

SC II

A generic assassin unlockable only in North American and European console ports of Soul Calibur II, and even then, only selectable in practice mode, team battle mode and versus mode. He does not have an in-game profile or ending, but he has a profile of his own in the "Soul Calibur 2 Official Complete Guide". It does not state anything more than that they ("Assassin" is actually a group of people) are assassins of unknown origin (though seeing the SCIII Assassin in the Shrine of Kunpaetku seems to point that they are agents of Fygul Cestemus) in search of Soul Edge's fragments. Although his fighting style is based on that of Hwang Seong-gyeong from Soul Calibur 1 and Chai Xianghua, he has no biographical association with any character in the series. In battle, he uses the Chinese Blade "Assassin Blade". He is voiced by Kentaro Ito and has six different costumes in the game.

SC III

A unplayable opponent fought in Tales of Souls mode and one of the few surviving members from Astaroth's sect Fygul Cestemus. She uses the Kunai discipline. Can easily be created in Character Creation mode. "Assassin" is also one of the Create-a-Character jobs.

SC Legends

Assassin, along with Berserker and Lizardman , appears as a common enemy in his first costume of him in SC II.

Berserker

SC II

A generic berserker unlockable only in North American and European console ports of Soulcalibur II, and even then, only selectable in practice mode, team battle mode and versus mode. He doesn't have an in-game profile or ending, but he plays a role in the story mode as a guard in the many labyrinths the player roams through, but he has a profile of his own in the "Soulcalibur II Official Complete Guide". It states that the Berserkers ("Berserker" is actually a group of people) are people corrupted by the Evil Seed. Only the strongest ones are still alive, and they had been spotted in Eastern Europe following a strange armored man with a scar on it and a monster through the forest. Although his fighting style is based on that of Nathaniel "Rock" Adams and Astaroth ,he has no biographical association with any character in the series. In battle, he uses the giant double-edged axe "Great Ax".

SC III

Berserker is an unplayable enemy character enshrouded with an evil aura. He is a knight with green armor, including a green helmet. His weapon isn't an axe this time, he uses the Lance Discipline. Though officially not unlockable, he can easily be made in Character Creation mode knight job. With a cheating device, the difference is he says no words, just screams, and when he wins, the announcer won't say "knight wins" instead he says "Berserker wins". They're still the same Berserkers as in the other games. Only small differences exist pertaining to the armor and body size.

SC Legends

Berserker appears as a common enemy, he resembles the one in SC II but the difference is color, bigger size, a different helmet, and a Giant Mace instead of an axe.

Lizardman

SC II

The Lizardman featured in the American and European releases of Soulcalibur II is one of the many Lizardmen created by Fygul Cestemus to do their bidding. Though they don't have in-game backstory or ending, they have a profile of their own in the "Soulcalibur II Official Complete Guide". The guide states that the Lizardmen are used in two main groups: the first one to collect fragments of Soul Edge and the second one as loyal slaves. There were some rumors claiming that the Lizardmen's leader, Aeon Calcos, was set free of the brainwash by the power that defeated Nightmare, so the sect Fygul Cestemus is using stronger spells on the remaining lizardmen to avoid such incidents. In battle the lizardman uses the sword and shield called "Gyulkus Weapon". They are cursed weapons given by the sect Fygul Cestemus to carry on battle. There are two types of their shields, one is based on Sophitia's Gladius, Fire Blade, and Synval designs, and the second is based on Cassandra's Spine Blade, Metesashi, and Dark Blade shields.

SC III

The version of Lizardman seen in Soulcalibur III is a major character, with an expanded back-story. He is a Greek soldier named Aeon Calcos who has been mutated to take Lizardman-form. He wields an axe and shield, rather than the sword and shield seen in Soulcalibur II.

The Soulcalibur II Lizardman is a partially unplayable character who appears as a generic enemy (Much like Assassin and Beserker).

SC Legends

Lizardmen appears as a common enemy.

Johan Dürer

Johan Dürer appeared originally as a guide/Navigator character on the Soul Calibur Official Guide published by Axela. Eventually he was given a profile on the old Soul Archive site, though only in Japanese [1]. In it, He's recognized as an official character. Moreover, he's also hinted to exist in Berserker's profile as their leader and also appears in the introduction of Weapon Master Mode, alongside other "missing" characters from Soulcalibur II like Edge Master, Arthur, Li Long, Hwang or Rock. His weapon of choice is a long sword named Misery.

SC

Johan Dürer was born in Constance, Holy Roman Empire, in September 18, 1542. Since young he took the path of the sword due to the harsh times, and eventually turned into a mercenary. He participated in every war he could, and when there wasn't one he worked as a bodyguard for the merchants, usually targets of local bandits. Because he took his enemies' weapons, he developed a form to wield any weapon with ease. He called this style "Riese Apostel" (Giant Apostle in German, translated as Largus Apostolus in Girardot's profile, which has the same style) in honor of the nickname he got in the battlefield, Riese.

Eventually the firearms started to replace swords in war and Johan, frustrated by continuous defeats, finally decided that he can't made a life from only onslaughts, so he joined an elite knight force from a fortified city and settled there. He married a woman which gave him 2 sons and a daughter, and thanks to his past war records turned into the elite's leader.

The day of the Evil Seed phenomenon, the lord of the castle was possessed by its evil will. Turned into a bloodthirsty monster, he rampaged the castle until he got captured. The high-ranking vassals of the castle, worried by the situation, sent various undercover groups, Johan leading one, to investigate the strange phenomena. During his travel, Johan met with the Azure Knight Nightmare. Nightmare killed the entire unit, including Johan's sons, but left him alive and scarred.

Johan returned, bearing a frightful scar on his armor. He revealed the information about Soul Edge, its existence and the events surrounding an Spanish port town and Captain Cervantes. Eventually Johan convinced the vassals to allow him to create a hunt unit to retrieve the evil sword. Johan gathered young men and, after weeding the cowards and curious, started an arduous training.

Johan and his group travelled around the world, until the training was complete and they headed back to the castle. The men were no longer knights, as they returned as Berserkers. Johan, finally taken by the evil energy from his wounds, lead his unit to assault the castle. Johan himself freed the captive beastly lord and executed the vassal, soon discovering the evil powers inside him asking for souls. Johan set the castle on flames and leaves with his lord and students into the eastern forests.

Iska Farkas

Iska Farkas
'Soul series character
File:Iska.jpg
First gameSoul Calibur Legends

Iska Farkas is one of the key characters in the series' spin-off, Soul Calibur Legends. He is a refugee Hungarian prince who serves as a court jester for a Masked Emperor. He was born in Buda who lived with his sister Ilona until the usurper sultan, Barbaros, attacked the city and destroyed it, though his sister allowed him to escape with his life by sacrificing herself. Iska then went around the world looking for shelter, but all those that took him in eventually betrayed and used him, and then he studied under the famous alchemist Paracelsus who taught him much at Basel, until Iska disappeared, stealing Paracelsus's notes on the creation of false humans and was said to have made at least one successful artificial human. He thought up a crazed scheme to take over the world using the swords Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, to gain power for his lost sister. He used Paracelsus's notes to create a homunculus, made to look in the form of his sister. She managed to become the Masked Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He faked a story of being brought in by the "Masked Emperor" and becomes her court jester. His scheme comes into effect, as his homunculus has Siegfried and several other companions reluctantly agree to help the Holy Roman Empire against Barbaros of the Ottoman Empire (who wields Soul Calibur) by strengthening Soul Edge, which Siegfried wields. Iska is very persuasive in keeping his comrades to uphold their agreements and constantly reminisces about missing his sister and his home, lamenting his weakness, and wishes that he had strength and power which he did not have then to survive the pains of his life. After Soul Edge regains power and Siegfried kills Barbaros, claiming Soul Calibur, the "Masked Emperor" claims Soul Edge and tries to attack Siegfried and claim Soul Edge for Iska. However, a new version of the Evil Seed comes from Soul Calibur as the 2 swords clash, knocking Siegfried far away. Siegfried ends up sealing Soul Edge's power after realising that he killed his own father at the peak of the Himalayas, however keeps it. He also gets Requiem here. The group storms Vienna to defeat the Emperor, and after Siegfried does, he plants Soul Edge into the ground alongside Soul Calibur. Iska then claims them (restoring Soul Edge's power using Soul Calibur), revealing his scheme to Siegfried. He then attempts to kill Siegfried, but Siegfried instead wins and Iska dies. Iska has Heterochromia with one blue eye and one red eye. His belts also correspond to this trait. During the credits there are two graves that say Iska Farkas and Ilona Farkas.

Guest characters

Link

Link, Nintendo's Hylian hero from the Legend of Zelda series, appears as a guest character on the GameCube version of Soulcalibur II. In the game, he's voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama, who also voices Nightmare and Yoshimitsu in the same game.

Biography
Hyrule's tranquility was shattered by the arrival of several disasters, which brought opaque, ominous clouds with them. Eventually, it was discovered that a wizard was to blame for all that had happened. Just as the people were about to lose all hope, the sun miraculously returned as Link, having been summoned by Princess Zelda to find the disasters' source, successfully defeated the wizard. The people of Hyrule rejoiced in the belief that eternal peace would rule; but it eventually became clear that the wizard who was responsible for the disasters was in fact controlled by an evil sword from another world, Soul Edge, and that the fragments of Soul Edge had been gathering in the other world. Knowing that the resurrection of the evil blade must be prevented at all costs, Link chose to travel to the other world and destroy Soul Edge himself. He gathered his trusted Master Sword and Ocarina of Time, and transported himself off on a secret journey.

Weapons

Master Sword & Hylian Shield

A magic sword and shield that have accompanied Link on many adventures and helped him repeatedly save the land of Hyrule. This journey is no less dire, and Link once again goes into battle equipped with these items, this time in another world. These are well-balanced arms for Link.

Trivia

  • Some of Link's moves are borrowed from his games, like the Spin Attack. Most of his weapon selection is also borrowed from several games in the series, including the Biggoron Sword (wielded broadsword-style), Cane of Byrna, Megaton Hammer, Mirror Shield from Ocarina of Time, the Razor Sword forged by Zubora and Gabora from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the "Armos Class" Weapons, the Magic Sword and Shield from the original The Legend of Zelda, and even the Bug-Catching Net from A Link To The Past.
  • This game's Link borrows his appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In interviews, it is stated that Link's more realistic appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Smash Bros. Brawl is inspired by this game.
  • Instead of having the standard 2 or 3 costumes like every other character, Link has 4 different costumes, though each one is only his standard costume (green) colored red, blue, and violet (exactly the same four garment colors he could use in the first Super Smash Bros. and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures).
  • Link's classic theme from Zelda was used in his profile viewer, Destined Battle theme, and exhibition show. It was also played if Link was used in Eurydice Shrine Gallery. Likewise, his winning round victory theme is the "Item Obtained" theme from the Zelda series.
  • In the game Link never talks, he only gives out battle cries. This apparently is due to Nintendo's strictness on Link's lack of dialogues, considering that Link's voice actor, Nobuyuki Hiyama, also voices both Yoshimitsu and Nightmare in the same game.

Heihachi Mishima

Heihachi Mishima, an antagonist from the Tekken series (also made by Namco), appears as a guest character on the PlayStation 2 version of Soulcalibur II. In the game, he's voiced by Daisuke Gōri (japanese) and Victor Stone (english).

Biography
After completing his mountain training with his pet bear, Kuma, Heihachi stopped by at a hot springs resort to recuperate. There he encountered an ancient metallic fragment. According to old picture scrolls, this shard was a piece of Soul Edge, a notorious sword from medieval Europe. Grabbing the fragment in excitement, he accidentally cut his fingertip; and after a moment of dizziness passed, Heihachi looked around at his surroundings. A feeling of uneasiness washed over him as he was no longer at the resort he had been at just a few moments ago. He was stunned, but nevertheless remained collected. After he wandered for a while, he concluded that he was no longer in modern day Japan. He had somehow traveled back in time to the later sixteenth century. Though he wanted to return to his own time, part of him was trembling with anticipation of what was about to transpire. He knew the history behind the fragment, which was ripe with battles between warriors fighting for its possession. Now, he was right in the midst of it all. He eventually decided that finding and obtaining Soul Edge was the perfect challenge to test his strength and proceeded to seek it out.

Weapons

Kiaiissen

Heihachi's profile states that his weapon is "his body", though he uses gauntlets to protect himself. For the sake of taking on opponents armed with blades, Heihachi created the gauntlets using a piece of Japanese armor. It is just big enough to knock aside enemy blades without interfering with freedom of movement. Interestingly enough, his Ultimate Weapon is called Tekken, and is his bare fists.

Spawn (Al Simmons)

Spawn, Todd McFarlane's demonic anti-hero from the popular comic book series of the same name, appears as a guest character on the Xbox version of Soulcalibur II. In the game, he's voiced by both Akio Ôtsuka (japanese) and Victor Stone (english).

Biography
Upon his death, Lieutenant Al Simmons made a pact with the devil in order to return to the world of the living. The resurrection of the dark lord Malebolgia produced a result that was far different from anything Simmons had envisioned. His body, memories of the past, and even time were taken from him. His fate was to exist as a spawn of hell. He was then sent to the sixteenth century on a mission to retrieve the Soul Edge. Spawn had to obey his master, for it was his only chance of returning to his time period.

Weapons

Agony

In the game, Spawn's trademark cape is said to have assumed the form of an axe, most likely for the real-world reason of avoiding rendering complexities. Spawn's cape can take the form of any object he has in mind, and to fight in this era he choose the form of a double-edged axe. The cape itself is like an extension of his own limbs, and every weapon he uses is his cape mimicking the design of the real axe. Since it's like a part of himself, the weapon accommodates him perfectly. In the multi-platform game Spawn: Armageddon, Spawn uses the Agony Axe again.

Lloyd Irving

Lloyd Irving, the main protagonist from the video game Tales of Symphonia (also made by Namco), appears as a guest character in Soulcalibur Legends.

Biography

As he resolved in the former game, Lloyd set off to collect Exspheres, and upon hearing about the two swords, he believed them to be among that which he was seeking.

Chronicles of the Sword Characters

Background characters

Characters related to the Main Characters from the games

Ares

Also known as "Palgaea", he's the Greek god of war, Ares is trying to take Soul Edge for his own purposes. He commanded the Grand Priest of the Fygul Cestemus sect, Kunpaetku, to create a golem to help find it. Although Kunpaetku created Astaroth in hopes of taking Soul Edge for himself, he didn't know that Ares, to assure Astaroth's loyalty, implanted Ker, the Agent of Death, inside him.

Bangoo

Rock's adopted son. He lost his parents in tribal warfare and was the only native to close on the "White Giant" during his first years in the New World. Eventually he took Bangoo as his son and raised him. Being kidnapped by the Fygul Cestemus sect to serve as bait to bring Rock and take his soul, he was rescued by Rock and settled in Europe. After 4 years he decided to go on a journey to prove his manhood, so he embarked back to his native land. In Rock's Soulcalibur ending, Bangoo appears as an adult carrying Rock's axe. This has led some fans to speculate that he may appear as a playable character in future Soul games. This has yet to occur, however.

Chie

Li Long's lover. The daughter of an innkeeper, she had lost her ability to speak following the death of her mother. Chie nursed Li Long back to health following his failed attack on the Japanese feudal lords and the two eventually fell in love. One day a battle broke out in the inn where Li Long was staying, leading to the apparent death of Chie. Li Long, believing Mitsurugi had killed her, then set out to find Soul Edge and exact revenge. However, unbeknownst to Li Long, Chie had survived and was pregnant with Li Long's child.

Frederick Schtauffen

Siegfried Schtauffen's father. Nicknamed the Gentle Knight, he was one of the heroes of the peasant revolts against the Holy Roman Empire. During the campaign he met Margaret and soon she gave him a son, who he named Siegfried. He taught him swordplay, but once he left to fight on a foreign crusade, his son fell on bad companies. After the defeat of his unit, he was returning exhausted when the Schwartzwind ambushed him and his group. With tragic irony, his own son beheaded him in the confusion.

In Siegfried's no input SCIII ending he believes Fredrick sent the lighting that destroyed the multiple Nightmares, this may mean Frederick has forgiven his son.

Gel-o-Fury

A strong ancient demon once sealed by Taki in the Bamboo Shrine on Ohmi Isle. During the Evil Seed raining, Gel-o-Fury gained enough strength to break free of his imprisonment and, using the water passages that exists under Japan, he reached the Honno-ji Temple. Taki followed his trail and sealed him again in the Buddha Shrine. Gel-o-Fury stayed there until Toki, Taki's master, released and absorbed him. After losing to Taki, Gel-o-Fury left the old man's body and fled to parts unknown. He can be seen in the beginning movie of Soul Edge/ Soul blade.

Hephaestus

The Greek god of forge and smithery, Hephaestus feels that Soul Edge, a weapon made by man, is so evil that it could end staining his reputation as the "Blacksmith God", so he sends oracles to 24 people to go and destroy the evil blade. Among them the spartan knight Aeon Calcos and Sophitia Alexandra were chosen. Aeon Calcos never reached the sword, but Sophitia was able to shatter one of the blades.

The King

Also known as "The Hero", he was able to subdue Soul Edge and, thanks to his strength of will, avoided being controlled by it. He used the sword to spread peace among the lands. Unfortunately, his jealous son took Soul Edge and was possessed. The King battled him and with a mighty blow defeated him. The strike was fatal. After his son's death, he decided to create a sword to counter the evil in Soul Edge. Using purified shards from his battle with his son, and with the assistance of various sages, he was able to create the Soulcalibur after many failed attempts and even sacrificing his own life.

Kong Xiuqiang

Estranged father of Xianglian and Xianghua and former resident of the Ling-Sheng Su temple. During his days as a monk, he fell in love with a woman named Xiangfei and fathered a daughter with her. When their relationship was discovered, the monks took Xiangfei's daughter and she was forced to leave the temple. Kong would later steal the Krita-Yuga to give to her as a promise that they would meet again. Kong was intended to be the successor of the Kali-Yuga, but was banished from the temple when it was discovered that he had stolen the Krita-Yuga. Since leaving the temple, Kong has joined the Korean coastal defense force with Hwang and trained Seong Mi-na in the Ling-Sheng Su martial arts.

Kunpaetku

High Priest of the Fygul Cestemus sect, he's the one who created Astaroth at the God of War's request. He, however, wanted Soul Edge to himself, so he can turn into a god. Unfortunately for him, Ares' agent of death, Ker, dwelled inside the monster and Kunpaetku lost control over him. Trying to use a curse to control him again, he only obtained Astaroth's rage and the destruction of his shrine, the Shrine of Kunpaetku. He survived only to find Maxi, who killed him shortly after.

Kyam

Maxi's sworn brother. Being raised since childhood alongside Maxi by his father, both turned into brothers and best friends. Kyam usually took the leadership of Maxi's crew during his absences. He accepted Kilik to travel with them since he chose his shíp, but Astaroth's ambush in the port town ended with his death at the hands of the giant. Maxi swore revenge upon his dead body.

Meimei

Li Long's sister and Ming's Maid of Honor. She's a close friend of Xianghua. She asked Xianghua, before her depart to search Soul Edge, to check on Li Long's health, since he never returned after his mission in Japan.

Philip de Leon

Cervantes's father. Once a privateer working for the Spanish Kingdom, Philip was known because he never killed the crew of the boats he attacked. He always left them with provision and ways to return safely to land. That generosity cost him dearly, being ambushed by an English warship disguised as a merchant vessel. His death marked Cervantes de Leon, and made him decide in turning into a pirate.

Pyrrha and Patroklos

Children of Sophitia and Rothion (Pyrrha is the daughter, whereas Patroklos is the son). When a mysterious customer gave Rothion a peculiar metallic fragment, the household went out of control, with the children fighting violently over what their father just received, whilst Sophitia was experiencing an aftermath from her previous wounds she sustained in her first battle against Soul Edge. A while after her younger sister, Cassandra, set off on her quest, Sophitia made her decision to get involved in order to save her children. When she arrived at Nightmare's former stronghold, she had an encounter with a green clad girl, who wanted to 'play' with her children. Upon returning home, Sophitia found them safe, for now. The girl in green met up with her again, saying that she would be back for them when the time is right. Sophitia knew that she had to stop her, especially with both Pyrrha and Patroklos' lives at stake.

Rothion

Sophitia's husband and a blacksmith. It was Rothion who forged the Omega Sword and Elk Shield used by Sophitia from holy ore given to him by Hephaestus. He also forged another sword and shield for Sophitia to use when Cassandra stole the originals. Rothion and Sophitia were married after Sophitia returned from her second search for Soul Edge and have since given birth to two children, Pyrrha and Patroklos.

Toki

Taki's master and former leader of the Fu-Ma Ninjas. He was the one who found and raised Taki. Although a benelovent man, he fell into the influence of evil and sought the mystical sword Mekki-Maru to grow in strength. Hachibei, formerly co-leader of the group, escaped with the blade and his daughter, Chie, into hiding. Still, Toki would not stop until Mekki-Maru was in his possession, so he sent various ninjas, Taki with them, to find him. Eventually he found out Taki lied to him about Hachibei's death in an attempt to cover him, and he sent his right-hand man Geki to retrieve Mekki-Maru from her. Geki isn't successful, but Toki kept sending ninjas against his former student. His last battle was against Taki in the Buddha Sanctum. He absorbed the powerful demon Gel-o-Fury and stood against Taki, who defeated him with the techniques he taught her. Upon his last words, Gel-o-Fury escaped his host and flew to an unknown direction.

Vercci

A prolific Italian merchant and Voldo's master, Vercci amassed fortunes dealing with the Spanish Armada, which he supplied with weapons. Thanks to the supplies he delivered (weapons mostly) he was known as the "Merchant of Death". He always was proud of saying he had everything he wanted. Here was one thing Vercci didn't have: Soul Edge. He decided he would find it and, once his opposing brothers were out of the way, he gave Voldo the work of leading the search. He contracted mercenaries and pirates to search land and seas, but to no avail. He even contractred Cervantes de Leon's aid, which he accepted since he was one of his clients when he turned pirate. Finally he decided to lead the search. During his travels along the world he gathered many treasures, but wasn't able to find the swords. Worse yet, he received notices about the breaking of the Italian Wars and that his house, along with his possessions there, were lost. With only the possessions he carried with him in his search, Vercci went into an unnamed island on the Mediterranean and commissioned the digging of a 50 meter deep shaft. This pit would serve as a safe for his possessions, as well as his tomb. Once it was completed, he ordered Voldo to slay the sailors that had aided Vercci in his search, so they could not reveal the pit's location. Vercci died before knowing of the Italian Wars' end, but he still communicates with Voldo, still ordering him to search that last treasure he never got: Soul Edge, though it is possible that this is just Soul Edge itself tricking Voldo into following its commands.

Xianglian

Kilik's sworn sister, and Xianghua's biological sister (though they never knew each other). She was the daughter of Kong Xiquiang and Chai Xiangfei, but because their love was forbidden, her mother was dismissed of the temple and she taken as an "orphan". After finding out her father stole the sacred Krita-Yuga, she thought she wasn't worth of the sacred sword, the monks reassured her that she had surpassed his family's stain and is more than worthy of wielding the sacred mirror, Dvapara-Yuga. Unfortunately, the night of the ceremony the Evil Seed rained down into the temple, turning the monks into berserk killers. Dvapara-Yuga protected her from the evil influence, but seeing Kilik's state she gave up her life, putting Dvapara-Yuga onto and saving Kilik. She turned berserk shortly after and Kilik himself killed her, impaling her through the heart with the Kali-Yuga.
