At one time, Nightmare committed
countless cold-blooded murders while
under the control of Soul Edge. All who
knew of him feared his crimson gaze and
his strange, one-eyed, giant blade.

Originally, he was the leader of a group
of brigands known as the Black Wind,
whose stronghold was located in the
Black Forest near the Roman Empire.
It was news of his father's death that drove him from his marauding lifestyle, resolving to find his father's killer.

Hearing word of a sword known as Soul Edge, he bacame convinced that he could slay his father's murdered if he found this ultimate weapon. He searched through the
                                       battlegrounds in every region he traveled. Eventually, he
                                       came across a sword in a Spanish harbor that emitted a
                                       strange aura beside the corpse of its owner, who appeared
                                       to be a pirate (Cervantes De Leon). The dead body
                                       returned to life, covered in flames (Inferno), as if to
                                       protect the sword. Upon defeating the apparition, he
                                       reached for the hilt of the mysterious blade.

                                       It was then that he heard the voice of Soul Edge, the
                                       sword that feeds on souls.

                                       It told him that if he used the souls absorbed by the sword
                                       he would be able to resurrect his father. Accepting his new goal, the man's body began to surge with evil energy of the sword. The energy became a beautiful pillar of light that pierced the evening sky and dissipated
into the atmosphere.

From that moment on, the man became Nightmare, the evil knight who
would strike fear into every corner of Europe.

Having determined that the power Soul Edge had at that moment was insufficient to revive his father, Nightmare attacked village after village to nourish the blade. Not satisfied, he sought out those with strong souls to feed the evil sword.

The killings ended three years later, when
Nightmare came across three sacrifices
for his blade. One of them wielded a spirit
sword called Soul Calibur,
which possessed an aura that was the
polar opposite of the evil power emitted by
Soul Edge. After a raging battle, the evil
sword shattered, and both Nightmare and
Soul Edge fell into the collapsing void.
