===== CERVANTES' STORY IN SOUL EDGE =====
From the Soul Calibur wiki:
"During the 16th century, Soul Edge mysteriously reappeared in a secret antique auction, using its shape-shifting powers to become two blades instead of one. The swords were obtained by an English curio dealer, whose ship was attacked by the dreaded pirate Cervantes de Leon. Possessed by the will of the wicked swords, Cervantes slew the crew of the ship and then slaughtered the population of a Spanish port-town, where he stayed the next twenty-five years, waiting for the birth of the "Child of the Cursed Sword".
But then a holy warrior sent by Hephaestus, Sophitia Alexandra, confronted him and was able to destroy the smaller of the two blades. Cervantes, enraged, defeated Sophitia and nearly ki1led her, but was stopped and ki1led by a demon huntress named Taki."
===== ABOUT CERVANTES =====
Cervantes is the dreaded pirate villain and is one of the staple characters of the series. He has the honour of being the first ever character in the series to wield the Soul Edge.
===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====
---- As a playable character, he now has an ending when you beat the game with him.
---- In this version of the game, he has an alternate costume/colour palette that does not appear in the PS1 version of the game.
---- In this version of the game, his secondary character select screen portrait and versus screen icon images does not appear in the PS1 version of the game.
---- When he is CPU-controlled, the CPU can perform a move where he "feints" slashes by holding his left sword up slightly (with the aura) and quickly moving left and right. I don't think it is possible for a human player to do this with Cervantes.
---- He is one of the "originals" of the Soul series, as he appeared in the very first game.
