\"Few\"? - more characters have NOT aged than those who have aged naturally in V :) Ivy, Raph, Maxi, Tira, Kilik are all now \"ageless\". Only Voldo, Mits, Hilde and Seigfried aged properly.


* OlderThanTheyLook: Possibly. His appearance in ''V'' is similar to that of ''Broken Destiny'', suggesting that he's one of the few characters besides Ivy and Raphael to have not aged. Considering ''Broken Destiny'' is non-canon, though, it's possible that this is his first "real" appearance and he actually is that old/young.

Hilde can be considered the first "charge" character in the series. Her vertical attacks involve her sword, while her horizontal attacks involve her lance. By holding down both attack buttons for a set period of time, she will use more powerful moves depending on how long the button was held. Her overall style focuses on keeping the opponent at bay with her lance from afar, while defending herself with her short sword up close.



In ''IV'', Algol was designed as the game's boss. In accordance with this, he uses a unique fighting style which incorporates the use of projectiles for juggling the opponent. In ''V'', he was completely rebalanced, with more of a focus on the weapons within his body. The projectiles are now used as mixup tools, but he is still a very combo-heavy powerhouse who can deal insane damage if he gets an opportunity to juggle the opponent.



Dampierre is the games' JokeCharacter. He uses an odd, zany fighting style which, befitting his status as a con man, focuses on bluffing the opponent, moreso than even Yoshimitsu.



She is briefly alluded to in the new Astaroth's bio in Soulcalibur V, where it is revealed that she harvested the original Astaroth's heart after he was killed by Maxi and brought it back to the cult.

The Apprentice uses a very acrobatic fighting style, focusing on nimble movements. He uses a special "force gauge" to enhance the strength of his combos and give him more options. However, if the gauge drains, he will be stunned momentarily. He is a rather advanced character who is deadly in the right hands. Some of his movements were eventually given to [[spoiler: Alpha Patroklos]].

The boss of ''Soulcalibur IV''. Algol was a hero who got hold of Soul Edge and build a kingdom, becoming a beloved ruler. His son became jealous of his power and stole Soul Edge, becoming a berserk monster who ended up being killed by Algol himself.

After, he started working on creating a blade that could counteract Soul Edge. This "spirit sword" would eventually become Soul Calibur. He used a shard of Soul Edge in the process, and gave up his life for it. The sword, however, ended up being as evil as Soul Edge, and his soul ended up trapped inside it. His supporters sealed him within the sword, and after years of purifying, turned it into the Soul Calibur we know and love. His supporters would eventually become a cult that would pass down Algol's legend for generations.

* AntiHero ([[SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes Type III or IV]])/AntiVillain ([[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type III or IV]]): Despite his claims to destroy all who stand in his way and his {{ambition|IsEvil}} as a king, Algol is pretty much OrcusOnHisThrone for the duration of ''IV'', coming across more as fatalistic than evil. Many of the Good and Neutral-aligned characters spare the guy in their endings, and many of them say that he's not even evil to begin with. The worst thing that happens? He defeats Siegfried (but seemingly doesn't kill him) in his ending and begins his reign anew, creating a utopia with the implications that his rule was instated to prevent the world from befalling the same fate as his son.
