History

 * Main article: w:c:soulcalibur:Cervantes De Leon/New Timeline#Biography

Cervantes de Leon was once one of the most feared pirates in history, wielding Soul Edge in the form of two longswords. His reign of terror was cut short when he was slain by Sophitia and Taki, who destroyed one half of Soul Edge; while the other was taken by Siegfried. However, Soul Edge's power reanimated Cervantes as an undead pirate, and he now seeks to reclaim the cursed sword from Nightmare.

Personality
After his resurrection, Cervantes lacked any memories of his past - though he started regaining them at the same time when he begin attacking his own former crew member, which awakened his sadistic bloodlust and revenge. Realizing that he could regain his memories by killing people and absorbing their souls, he embarked on a killing spree, including on taking his daughter's soul at most part. Becoming obsessed with reclaiming Soul Edge yet realizing that if he did so he would be enslaved by it again, Cervantes decided to bide his time until he had become strong enough to dominate Soul Edge with his own will and become its master once more.
