Hephaestus
From the Soulcalibur Wiki
Hephaestus is the Greek God of Fire, Forge and Smithery, appearing in the Soul series of fighting games. Hephaestus feels that Soul Edge, a weapon made by man, is so evil that it could end staining his reputation as the "Blacksmith God", and so he sends oracles to 24 people to go and destroy the evil blade. Among them the spartan knight Aeon Calcos and Sophitia Alexandra were chosen. Aeon Calcos never reached the sword, but Sophitia was able to shatter one of the blades. Ever since Soulcalibur II, Cassandra blames Hephaestus for putting such a great burden on Sophitia. This is why she cannot hear him. In Soulcalibur III, Aeon Calcos, now Lizardman, searches for Soul Edge to have his revenge on Hephaestus, for abandoning him to live as a lizardman.
