From the Soulcalibur Wiki

Olcadan is a character in the Soul series of fighting games. He appeared in Soulcalibur III.

[edit] Biography

Once, in an age now found only in myth, there was a man known by the name of Olcadan who was skilled in every kind of fighting art.

With one single exception that had ended in a draw, he could boast that he had been completely undefeated in innumerable duels he had fought. He then turned his eyes to the Gods. He fought and defeated a great owl that was a messenger of the God of war. The angry God cursed Olcadan, turning his head into that of an owl. Upon seeing this curse, the people tried to obtain the Gods' forgiveness by capturing Olcadan. Sorcerers known as the "sages of the oak" were sent after him. They took advantage of the vow he had made in order to become strong and captured him.

The God of war appeared in the form of a headless great owl, and sent Olcadan down into an ancient ruin that sprawled deep beneath the earth.

Unable to find an exit, he gave up and resigned himself to his fate, falling into a deep slumber.

The power of the Evil Seed, however, broke the seal of the labyrinth and Olcadan managed to escape. Stepping out from the labyrinth for the first time in an eternity, he learned that the world outside had changed greatly since his era. He was not particularly troubled by this, however. Those waves of power that had interrupted his sleep were undoubtedly the greatest power of this era.

He learned to survive in the new world by teaching people the fighting techniques that himself had developed, and, over the course of several years. Gradually learned about this era. Then, in order to restore his combat senses that had dulled over the course of his long sleep, he once again cut off contact with the world by holing up inside the labyrinth. He will challenge the most powerful opponent of the era. That opponent is a pair of swords that had been young and weak in his era, but these weapons, crafted by the hands of man, now rivaled the Gods...

[edit] Tales of Souls Mode

In any character's story, Olcadan can be battled. To do this, the player must go to a path that avoids fighting Tira, defeating Zasalamel only. Then follow a specific story path that differs from each character. If they do this without being defeated in a battle (at all), they will travel to the labyrinth where they will fight a shadow version of a bonus character (sometimes either Hwang, Li Long, or (possibly) Arthur, due to the voice, fighting style (which is that of a Samurai) and the outline of the "Unknown Soul"), an original character, and Olcadan himself. Since Olcadan knows all the Soulcalibur III's original characters' fighting styles, he will be a very tough challenge to defeat him, but if he is defeated, the player character's "The Ancient" weapon will be unlocked, and Olcadan will be unlocked as a playable character in all game modes (except Chronicles of the Sword). The player will also go to the Lost Cathedral. If they are defeated in any part of the labyrinth, they will go to the Lost Cathedral, without fighting Olcadan, and they will face Zasalamel, and (if they weren't defeated at all) Night Terror. If the player was defeated before this, they will face Abyss, as normal.

[edit] Soulcalibur III Ending

Olcadan swings his arm to destroy Soul Edge...

No-Input Ending He breaks it. The scene changes to Olcadan in a weapons shop easily defeating some warriors. He decides that if there are none stronger, he would just have to train them. He drags one swordsman away, and the scene shifts again to two men training while Olcadan wonders around. While he is looking away, they silently agree to attempt a surprise attack on him. They charge at him, but he then defeats them off-screen.

Input Ending He changes his mind and takes Soul Edge to a weapons shop. The two shop girls, Valeria and Lynette, are there and they buy it from him for a small handful of gold.

[edit] Fighting Style

To utilize Olcadan properly, the player must master other fighting styles as Olcadan mastered every single one of them. His fighting style changes each round. But he can be a difficult AI opponent especially for those who are veterans in a specific fighting style as he can be faced with a similar fighting style from the player's when he faces Olcadan in Tales of Souls mode, if certain conditions are met and followed a specific path.

[edit] Weapons

[edit] The Ancient

A set of weapons, all made with similar designs, used by Olcadan. Nothing is known about these weapons, but is probable that Olcadan made the weapons himself. They are kept in an old box with Olcadan's symbol on it. The Ancient are well-balanced; they have no special effects. Other characters can use their respective "The Ancient" weapon by either defeating Olcadan in Tales of Souls mode or by that character completing every single level (playable or not) in training mode.

(Note: Olcadan gains 3 more weapon copies in Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition, due to Li Long, Hwang, and Amy being added to the game.)

[edit] Stages

[edit] Grand Labyrinth (SC3)

Buried on the coast of the Black Sea lie the forgotten ruins of a gigantic stone structure. Olcadan had once been imprisoned in this place by a curse of a God, but its entrance is now open due to the influence of the Evil Seed. Nevertheless, it is not a place to be taken lightly. Its twisting passageways confuse the sense of direction, and the dark, wet atmosphere induces a primal fear in those who enter. Those who constructed this labyrinth have long since disappeared from the earth, and there is no way to know for what purpose it was built. But supposedly, this place was known to them as the "end of the earth," and, to them, this underground labyrinth may have perhaps been the kingdom of death -- the land of the Gods.

[edit] Trivia

His destined battle in Soulcalibur III is Kilik.
He was most likely based on Edge Master. It is also hinted that Edge Master was the only person to ever fight Olcadan to a draw, although this is only speculation.
It is interesting to note that in Olcadan's Tale Of Souls mode that if he fights Mitsurugi it is the only fight after which the text mentions him have a measure of respect for his opponent and is the closest he comes to finding a 'real challenge' without facing the bosses in the Lost Cathedral.
