| Raphael Sorel grew up as the young heir to the highly-esteemed French family of Sorel nobility. As a child, Raphael only had his rapier and medicine to be his playmates, and thus grew up fairly lonely. As a result of his loneliness, Raphael developed a fairly unemotional demeanor, which awarded him many enemies, though his quick-thinking and decision-making was able to solidify the Sorel family as a house of nobles. His life, though not exciting, was one of promise.
| |
|
| |
|
| However, on the day that the young Siegfried Schtauffen picked up the evil Soul Edge blade, a terrible catastrophe struck known as the Evil Seed. Dark and evil power reigned down on the world, turning several people into rampaging demons known as the Malfested. During this, a noble that had long served the Sorel family became one of the Malfested, and Raphael was forced to kill him in self-defense. Not knowing the reason for Raphael's actions, the Sorel family was enraged and cast him out.
| |
|
| |
|
| Almost immediately, Raphael had been fed to the dogs, and was being chased by dozens of angry pursuers. After countless fights and days of hiding from those who wished him dead, a weakened Raphael bumped into a young homeless girl named Amy, who hid Raphael from his pursuers and thus saved his life. For Amy, hiding Raphael was a very small deed motivated purely out of spite for the nobles, but for Raphael, this action marked the first time that he felt he owed somebody his life. Amy became irreplaceable to Raphael.
| |
|
| |
|
| Out of his gratitude, Raphael decided to take Amy and help her finally leave the poverty-stricken town. However, no matter where Raphael and Amy fled to, he was unable to let Amy open up her heart to the world. Finally settling in an abandoned mansion acquired under dark pretenses, Raphael began hatching a plan to force the world into becoming something that would accept Amy.
| |
|
| |
|
| After researching into the Evil Seed that started all of this nonsense, Raphael finally traced it back to the legendary Soul Edge, which was still currently in the hands of Siegfried, now known as the Azure Nightmare. This sword had the power to change the world, and Raphael needed to retrieve it for Amy above all else. Making haste, with rapier in-hand, Raphael bid farewell to Amy and headed to confront Siegfried in Ostrheinsburg.
| | ==Background== |
| | '''Kamikirimusi''' is a bonus character of the ''Soulcalibur'' series. Like the rest of the bonus characters, she was designed by a guest artist and takes her fighting style from one of the original characters; in Kamikirimusi's case, she shares a style with Nightmare. Kamikirimusi is an oni from centuries ago, who was recently freed and longs for the great evil power of Soul Edge. |
|
| |
|
| The battle between Raphael and Nightmare was legendary, as Raphael's incredibly strong ambition pulled him through despite Nightmare's overwhelming power. Eventually, however, Soul Edge became too much. Raphael was dealt terrible wounds, and lay prone to whatever strike Nightmare chose to be the finisher. However, unbeknownst to Raphael, Siegfried fought against Nightmare for just a moment within his mind, and prevented the killing blow. Raphael saw the small opening as Nightmare faltered, and unleashed one desperate strike of his rapier.

|
| As luck would have it, Raphael's blade hit true, and pierced Soul Edge directly in its eye. As Nightmare writhed in pain from the attack, Raphael succumbed to his wounds and fainted. Many hours later, when Raphael awoke, he was astonished that Nightmare had disappeared without finishing him off. Raphael dragged his grievously wounded body back to Amy, who immediately put him under extensive care.

His quest to claim Soul Edge was entirely selfish and disregarded any self of morality, good or evil alike) | '''Chaotic Evil''' (After becoming a Malfested, Raphael's emotions had been amplified and his desire to create a perfect world for Amy has become an obsession. No longer can his goals be seen as noble, as Raphael now commits very evil acts, such as infecting entire villages with evil power, and turning others into his servants. He does everything for his selfish goals, even though he commits evil acts in order to accomplish them) | '''Neutral Evil''' (As Graf Dumas/Nightmare, Raphael's selfish ambitions have been completely erased, as he's forgotten Amy entirely. Completely unlike the previous Nightmare, who sought only reckless chaos and havoc for the sake of gathering souls, Raphael's influence on Nightmare has turned the Azure Knight into a much more passive evil force. He now seeks domination through manipulation, over mindless destruction, and is willing to rule an world submerged in evil rather than selfishly destroy it)

The kanabō was traditionally used by feudal Japanese warriors, such as samurai, to break through armor and defenses during battle. It was also used as a tool for crushing and breaking through walls and other structures. The Denryu Bakuha is known for its destructive power and was feared as a formidable weapon on the battlefield. |

The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed. It's currently taking the form of a Zweihänder as it had previously when in the hands of Siegfried, instead of morphing into a rapier to suit Raphael, as the Soul Edge has grown a strong appreciation for its iconic form.

| '''Weaknesses:''' Raphael is incredibly overconfident and blinded by his love for his foster daughter, Amy. He has a lack of any loyalty to anyone who isn't Amy, and can turn on people on a whim if it means that Amy's future would be brighter. After ''Soulcalibur V'', Raphael suffers from amnesia. As Graf Dumas, a puppet for Soul Edge, Raphael is completely under the sword's whim, and is also considered to be the weakest of the Nightmares. Soul Edge can be destroyed fairly easily if struck in the correct spots, and can let out maelstroms of power too immense for Raphael's body to withstand. | | '''Weaknesses:''' None notable. |
