[edit] Biography
Charade is formed of a man who is weary from war-torn lands and dreaming of adventure. He finds the legends of Soul Edge, and begins to find its fragments. He is eventually murdered by bandits who had heard a rumor circulating in the cities of a man overly-protective of his possessions. Still grasping the fragments, his corpse is thrown into a river. The blood from the hands forms around the fragments due to the man's tenacity to protect his precious fragments. This being seeks out to find more shards, so it can devour them and become whole. He eventually becomes part of the Soul Edge. Charade is able to scan minds of warriors it confronts, and then creates weapons out of its body to accommodate the fighting style it imitates. In Soul Calibur IV Nightmare summons the remaining fragments of Soul Edge to Ostrheinsburg Castle to become whole. Among them are the second Soul Edge created by Cervantes and fragments that have become half-living creatures one of which might have been Charade.
[edit] Mechanics
Choosing Charade in Soulcalibur II is very similar to choosing the "Random" option. Choosing "Random" involves a randomly-selected character for each match. The difference lies in the fact that Charade is able to scan the minds of warriors it confronts, and then creates weapons out of its body to accommodate the fighting styles it imitates. In other words, not only does Charade involve a special character model, but at the beginning of each round within a match, Charade inherits the fighting style, attacks, and weapons of a character randomly chosen to mimic. However, unlike his predecessors, Edge Master and Inferno, Charade gains no attack increase for mimicking any character.

[edit] Egyptian Ruins (SC2)
This is an old, little-known underground ruin. But someone has ripped open the seal to the entrance, and we can now view the interior that only a few mortals have seen. The drawings on the wall record the events surrounding Soul Edge. The wall depicts the story of the events surrounding the evil sword's existence in Egypt many millennia ago. Who opened the seal and intruded upon this place, and what was his purpose? Everything is a mystery, save for one fact - this incident has to do with the demonic sword, Soul Edge.
