cervantes de leon

A character in the SoulCalibur series of fighting games. He made his first appearance as the main antagonist of Soul Edge.

Cervantes' father, Philip de Leon, was a privateer sent on a special mission from the Spanish king to loot in the name of Spain. One day, he sailed closely to an English ship with intent to loot it, only to find out too late that it was a warship. He was taken by surprise, his ship was destroyed, and he died along with it.

Cervantes grew up full of pride over his father who was a great sailor, but became a notorious pirate because of his father's death. Cervantes himself became the scourge of the seas, wielding Soul Edge and reaping souls, before he was defeated and lost part of his weapon at the hands of Taki and Sophitia Alexandra. Since then, he journeys to recover the weapon that was taken from him.

Cervantes is the biological father of Isabella Valentine.

He has long white hair with a violet tint, blue eyes, and a full mustache. When under the influence of Soul Edge, his skin gains an unnatural purple tint and his eyes turn yellow with black sclera. He is usually seen wearing a pirate costume and wielding a gunblade and a large sword.
