Cervantes grew up full of pride over his father who was a great seaman, but became a notorious pirate because of his father’s death.
He obtained Soul Edge, and it eventually drove him mad as it devoured his soul. His insanity made him destroy anyone who came seeking the sword. Cervantes’ reign of terror continued for over 20 years until Sophitia and Taki defeated him.
But this was not the end of Cervantes…
Nightmare, the new master of Soul Edge, brought Cervantes back from the dead. Once again, Cervantes seeks the demonic blade with renewed fervor and strength.

WEAPON
Cervantes – Acheron & Nirvana
Acheron and Nirvana were the long sword and pistol sword, respectively, of the resurrected pirate Cervantes. These implements of destruction were probably booty from his pirate days, recovered by Cervantes from his beloved ship the “Adrian.”
Nirvana was an unusual sword that contained a pistol in its hilt. This was perfectly suited to Cervantes and his intimidating fighting style. However, after tasting the power of Soul Edge, his weapons paled in comparison and left much to be desired.

STAGE
The Adrian and the Fortress
This battle fortress on the Atlantic coast of Spain served double duty as a trading port for treasure ships of the Spanish Armada.
When the dread pirate Cervantes returned from beyond the grave, he began to attack and plunder treasure ships from the Americas as well as the Far East. Even ships from his motherland Spain were not spared from his ruthless ways. In fact, there are various historical records of clashes between Cervantes and the Spanish Armada.
His ship, the Adrian, became a ghost ship that was surrounded by an otherworldly glow that resembled St. Elmo’s fire. The eerie sight of this ship could be seen from dusk to dawn when Cervantes prowled the high seas for his next victim.
Due to the sheer number and spread of the St. Elmo’s fire, Cervantes’ victims believed that they were surrounded by a large pirate fleet and either abandoned ship or fell into a state of sheer madness.

ENDING
The long lost sword...
And his onetime master…
He reached toward the demon sword, now without a host, and the two became one once again.
A long figure appeared, clawing his way through the eternal flames of evil.
Regaining a lost part of himself, his memories came flooding back and the broken chain was now complete again.
His ship spread fear across the seas once more as even the warships of the great naval powers were sent down to their watery graves.
