History

 * Main article: w:c:soulcalibur:Kunpaetku

Kunpaetku is the High Priest of the Fygul Cestemus cult and was the one who created Astaroth at the God of War's request. He, however, wanted Soul Edge to himself, so he could become a god.

Death
Kunpaetku's aspirations would come to a halt as he, along with the Fygul Cestemus cult would be massacred by the renegade Time Jacker, Ray/Another Decade. His death would cause a Time Paradox causing his minions Astaroth and Aeon Calcos to be erased from existence.

Powers and Abilities

 * Soul Absorption: Astaroth was solely created by Fygul Cestemus to gather souls, and so he has the inherent ability to feast on the souls of his victims.
 * Gyulkus: Astaroth's fighting style. In the language of the evil cult Fygul Cestemus, "Gyulkus" means "battle (to protect the temple)". However, it is unclear if Astaroth is acting with the cult's interests in mind or not. He was granted power during his creation by Ares, the Greek god of war, and the god remains the golem's one true master. Astaroth's fighting style is based off of the White Giant that Ares once observed, but the golem doesn't seem to care that his style is a mere copy. All that matters to him is how many people his techniques enable him to kill, and how cruelly he can do it.

Weaknesses

 * Premature annihilation of Fygul Cestemus: The only way to prevent Astaroth's rampage is to and murder his creator in 1583. The brutal massacre of the cult at the hands of Ray halted Astaroth's birth, effectively erasing him from existence. By doing so, it averted the deaths of Maxi's pirate crew, who were supposed to be killed by Astaroth himself.
