Bio: At one time, Nightmare committed countless cold-blooded murders while under the control of Soul Edge. All who knew of him feared his crimson gaze and his strange, one-eyed, giant blade.
Originally, he was the leader of a group of brigands known as the Black Wind, whose stronghold was located in the Black Forest near the Roman Empire. It was news of his father's death that drove him from his marauding lifestyle, resolving to find his father's killer.
Hearing word of a sword known as Soul Edge, he became convinced that he could slay his father's murderer if he found this ultimate weapon. He searched through the battlegrounds in every region he traveled. Eventually, he came across a sword in a Spanish harbor that emitted a strange aura beside the corpse of its owner, who appeared to be a pirate. The dead body returned to life, covered in flames, as if to protect the sword. Upon defeating the apparition, he reached for the hilt of the mysterious blade.
It was then that he heard the voice of Soul Edge, the sword that feeds on souls.
It told him that if he used the souls absorbed by the sword, he would be able to resurrect his father. Accepting his new goal, the man's body began to surge with the evil energy of the sword. The energy became a beautiful pillar of light that pierced the evening sky and dissipated into the atmosphere.
From that moment on, the man became Nightmare, the evil knight who would strike fear into every corner of Europe.
Having determined that the power Soul Edge had at that moment was insufficient to revive his father, Nightmare attacked village after village to nourish the blade. Not satisfied, he sought out those with strong souls to feed the evil sword.

The killings ended three years later, when Nightmare came across three sacrifices for his blade. One of them wielded a spirit sword called Soul Calibur, which possessed an aura that was the polar opposite of the evil power emitted by Soul Edge. The battle between the swordsmen took place in a vortex of hellfire and evil energy summoned by Soul Edge. After a raging battle both Nightmare and Soul Edge fell into the collapsing void, that was caused during the battle.
What happened next, was a mystery. But Nightmare has returned, and does now walk the land.
Fighting style: Gyulkus. Gyulkus is a martial art that you give all your strenght in your moves. Possibly teaches the art of even penetrate blocking of your opponent. Purely an offensive art to master, and in case you are of the defensive kind, stay away from Gyulkus. It is the death of many fighters, who choose defense over offense.
Reason: Nightmare has no need of money, as he do not eat, nor amuse himself in other ways than battles, provocation and proving his strength. He is hunting for souls, to one day discover the soul of the murderer (Read History). Upon the defeat of an opponent, Nightmare will duplicate their soul and store any information about fighting art, memories, strength and weakness with the help of his sword. The unlikely thought that Nightmare will loose the tournament, might possibly be enough for the killer to seek Nightmare up, to finish the family once and for all. Nightmare will be ready, and no one can stop him (In his opinion).
Nationality/Hometown: Roman empire, long before the birth of Jesus Christ.
