![]() Nightmare eventually claimed the city of Ostrheinsburg as his dominion and began attacking surrounding kingdoms such as Wolfkrone. As Nightmare’s reputation increased, a feudal lord attempted to hire him as a mercenary to help overthrow the tyrannical ruler, but Nightmare killed him. Enslaved to Soul Edge’s will, which impersonated his deceased father in order to manipulate him, Siegfried embarked on a campaign of slaughter that earned him the moniker Nightmare, the latest incarnation of a legendary monstrous warrior reputed to appear throughout history.Īt some point in 1583, Nightmare fought Grøh and Malfested him. In 1583, Siegfried Schtauffen grasped the hilt of the cursed sword Soul Edge and was transformed into a monstrous knight clad in blue armor, unleashing a blast of evil energy that came to be called the Evil Seed. Those who found out that the rumors were true, that he was no fairytale villain, would be struck down in a single blow before they could even open their mouths to scream. His name came to represent fear and desperation to all who heard it. Oddly, he uses the same voice actor as Siegfried.Īppearing from out of the shadows like the advent of nightfall, this barbaric knight in azure armor reaps the souls of the living as if they were mere stalks of corn. He has no story nor ending, and only used Siegfried’s Soul Edge without effects. This early version was very different from the current Nightmare, having crimson-red armor and a more flesh-like design with no mutated Nightmare Arm. Siegfried! was an alternate version of normal Siegfried taken from his no-input ending, in which he is consumed by Soul Edge. In the home version, an extra character named Siegfried! was added as an unlockable character. Though his incarnation in V wants to take over the world rather than destroy it.Įven though Nightmare originally debuted in Soulcalibur, there was a “prototype” of his character in Soul Edge. He looks down on humans, considering them “pathetic” and “foolish”, having no mercy for others, even to those who serve him, as shown in his Tales of Souls path where he considers killing his loyal servant Tira. Nightmare has been portrayed in the games as a violent and ruthless creature, constantly in search of souls to restore Soul Edge. He is the host, wielder and living incarnation of the cursed sword, Soul Edge, the objective of most other characters in the story. He made his first appearance in Soul Edge, with his proper debut being in Soulcalibur. Nightmare (ナイトメア, Naitomea) is the main antagonist of the Soul series.
