Edge Master is a Fictional character designed for the '''''Soul'' Series''' of Fighting Games . Edge Master made his first and only appearance in '' Soul Calibur ''. BIOGRAPHY Edge Master is a very mysterious man; he is renowned for his skill with various weapons, and his past and real name are known only to himself. He served as advisor and teacher of Ling-Sheng Su Martial Arts at Ling-Sheng Su Temple--who would descend from the mountain only to participate in the temple's holy artifacts succession ceremony and train their inheritors--before he burned it down following the fateful night of the Evil Seed. Edge Master found Kilik , the cursed successor of Kali-Yuga, in the temple and taught him to suppress the evil within himself over a three-year training session. Once Kilik had completed the training, Edge Master gave him the final test of destroying the Soul Edge; but after Kilik left on his journey to purify himself and the Kali-Yuga, Edge Master began to feel uneasy. Although his motives are unknown, he broke his silence and departed on a quest of his own. Eventually he returned to his hermitage after his quest. Its believed he was the one who gave Xianghua the "No-Name" Jian after she defeated Inferno . He continued training Kilik until he left to his second quest to purify Soul Edge. After Kilik returned from his quest beaten by Zasalamel , he instructed him to train with him. He concentrate evil energy in his body and acted as if he was affected by the Evil Seed. Edge Master and Kilik trained during 3 months, until Kilik was able to connect a purifying blow in Edge Master, who purified him completely, but also wounded him. Although a real puryfing blow would only hurt the evil energy and not the body, he acknowledge Kilik 's advancement and, after giving him another fragment of Dvapara-Yuga and Xianghua 's letter, he see him leave while treating his wound. Some time later Seong Mi-na found him and challenged him. He accepted and easily overwhelmed her. After being totally defeated, he agreed on training with her some time. Edge Master heard all of Seong Mi-na 's adventures, but when he heard about her search for Soul Edge, he told her about the evil nature of the blade. Seong Mi-na left the hermit inmeditely to continue her search. WEAPONS -- All Weapons (No Name) Edgemaster is capable of wielding any weapon as if they were extensions of his own limbs. He creates his own set of weapons, but he never names them, since that would go against his philosophy. He believes that only a strong soul makes a strong warrior, not a weapon, so he regards them as only tools despite their power. STAGES -- Proving Grounds (SC) The nearby Hindu temple, constructed in a cave, was built in the 9th century and had been forgotten for many years. With its pure waters the place had a holy atmosphere that made it feel as if it was another world. The stone cave and the temple lay deep within India. The small caves that formed the lake-like shape out of the river were the only things that broke the tranquil scene. The mysterious old man that appeared in before of Kilik lives here in the small hut on the hill like a hermit. "Who could this great master be..." His mind is full of questions Kilik trains himself everyday to control the evil within. (Note: Edge Master shares this stage with Kilik) CHARACTER ANALYSIS Choosing Edge Master in ''Soul Calibur'' is very similar to choosing the "Random" option. The difference lies in the fact that choosing "Random" involves a randomly-selected character for each match, whereas choosing Edge Master involves a randomly-selected character for each individual fight. Also, Edge Master gains a twelve-percent attack increase for characters Astaroth , Nightmare , Rock and Siegfried ; and a six-percent attack increase for all other characters except Cervantes. The character Inferno also behaves in exactly the same fashion. TRIVIA
