"Darkness shall cover the world forever"
— Night Raven

Night Raven (ナイト・レイヴン, Naito Reivun) is character in the Soul series and made his debut in Soulcalibur IV as a genetic clone of John and retuned in Soulcalibur V but is no longer a clone of John, instead has a host. He reappears in Soulcalibur VI with John being his host.

After absorbing countless souls, Night Raven's appearance began to change, he gains a darker skin tone and his right arm begins to mutate into a huge dark red brownish grotesque three digit claw.

After absorbing even more souls, Night Raven's appearance changes once again, He appears as a hulking armored beast that resembles Night Terror. What was once his armor and flesh has become a combination of armor and bone with a dark reddish sheen. The helmet area has grown and developed a large crest-like shape and the muzzle-covering area has been removed to reveal a lipless mouth with long teeth shown and his eyes are a beady red. At the center of his chest is a glowing core of energy which spreads throughout its upper body. In place of hands are a pair of giant claws and in the "palms" are fully functional mandibles, although this does not appear to hamper his ability to wield a sword in the least. Lastly, a slightly long tail has sprouted from the base of the spine area. From his back are a pair of large, flesh, bat like wings.
