Raphael Sorel

"What a joke!" - Raphael

"Ha!, that look suits you, stay down there." - Raphael

Raphael is one of the many villains in the Soul Calibur video game series. He is a villain who likes to insult his opponents and is quite an impatient character as seen in the games. His appearnce has changed throughout the series of games. In Soul Calibur IV he was presumed to have become a vampire. This is most likely to have resulted because Raphael lent his soul to the evil sword known as soul edge. He is a fighter with his fencing sword and is seen to be quite good with it. He is one of the many people who work for the main antagonist Nightmare in Soul Calibur. Other people who follow Nightmare are Tira and Astaroth. He is sometimes seen with his daughter Amy who is really quite creeped out by what he intends to do the world. After Soul Calibur IV Amy was not really seen again. It is said she most likely ran away from him because she was terrified of him.
