[edit] Biography

Edge Master has a mysterious past; 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. It's 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 destroy Soul Edge.

After Kilik was carried back by Xianghua from his quest, beaten by Zasalamel, he instructed him to train with him. He concentrated evil energy in his body and acted as if 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 purifying blow would only hurt the evil energy and not the body, he acknowledged Kilik's advancement and, after giving him another fragment of Dvapara-Yuga and Xianghua's letter, he sees him leave while treating his wound.

Some time later Seong Mi-na found him and challenged him. He accepted and easily overwhelmed her. He then agreed on training her for a while. 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 immediately to continue her search.

He is mentioned in Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, as he has the 1000 year old beard that Hilde and Cassandra need for Professor Ivy's cure.

[edit] Soulcalibur Ending

Edge Master: It's been a long, hard trip, and it's good to be back at last. Seems like Kilik is ready to take the test. Kilik!

Kilik: Yes, Master.

Edge Master: Wait right here.

Edge Master suddenly attacks Kilik while he is in his youth appearance. . .

Kilik: Master. . . you've become. . .!!

Edge Master: I shall teach you the art of mastering the evil within you by using evil itself! Prepare yourself Kilik, defeat me if you can. Are you ready?! KAAAAAAH!!!

[edit] Weapons

[edit] 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.

[edit] Stages

[edit] Proving Grounds - Twilight (SC)

The harsh daylight gives way to the setting sun that colors the entire area in the soft, gentle rose-colored hues of twilight.

As if forgotten by time, the ruins nearby lie in shadows, weathered and worn away by the unforgiving rain and river. Now, the remaining light of the setting sun reflects off the river's surface. Although this is a place forgotten and abandoned by man, its natural beauty holds an undeniable charm for those who gaze upon it.

This place was a natural choice for the man who devoted his remaining days to achieving perfection in all forms of martial arts.

(Note: Edge Master shares this stage with Kilik, but in its twilight variation.)
