History

 * Main article: w:c:soulcalibur:Algol/Biography

Algol was a hero who got hold of Soul Edge, subdued Inferno, and built a kingdom, becoming a beloved ruler. His son Arcturus became jealous of his power and stole Soul Edge, becoming a berserk monster who ended up being killed by Algol himself. Afterwards, he started working on creating a blade that could counteract Soul Edge, using a shard of Soul Edge and giving up his life in the process.

The sword, ended up being as evil as Soul Edge, and Algol's soul ended up trapped inside it. His supporters sealed him within the sword, and after years of purifying, turned it into the Soul Calibur we know and love. His supporters would eventually become a cult that would pass down Algol's legend for generations.
