History

 * ''Main article: w:c:soulcalibur:Inferno/New Timeline'

The "living incarnation" of Soul Edge, Inferno is a demonic entity that dwells within Astral Chaos; corrupting those exposed to its dark power into the monstrous Malfested and devouring the souls of those slain by the cursed sword. With Nightmare and Cervantes as its puppets, Inferno seeks to reclaim the scattered shards of Soul Edge, destroy its nemesis — the spirit sword Soul Calibur — and raze the world with hellfire.
