Unfortunately, the draw of the Soul Edge attracted several men to attempt to steal the blade. The man who succeeded in this was Algol's own son. Possessed by the power of the Soul Edge, Algol's son attacked the Hero King who, with great pain and reluctance, was forced to kill the young man. Algol then knew that the Soul Edge had to be destroyed. By forging the Soul Calibur, and trapping his own soul within the blade, Algol created the one holy blade powerful enough to destroy the Soul Edge.
Over the course of history, the Soul Calibur, passed on through generations by the guardians of the sword, has been used to shatter the Soul Edge and the subsequent blades created from its fragments.
The form the Soul Edge takes depends on the size and number of fragments assembled. It size has ranged from that of a small double-edged short sword to a large zweihander.
The Soul Calibur series begins with the evil sword in the hands of the pirate Cervantes de Leon. Possessed by the evil sword, Cervantes seeks to slaughter as many men and collect as many fragments of the sword as possible to restore it to its former power.
