Iska Farkas
Origin: Buda, Kingdom of Hungary
Weapon: a dagger
Voiced by: note
Iska Farkas is one of the key characters who only appears in Soulcalibur Legends. He is a 16 year old refugee Hungarian who serves as a court jester for the Masked Emperor and travels with Siegfried. He turns out to be the main villain of the story.
- Artificial Human: Created one in the shape of his beloved sister Ilona. The homunculus serves as the Masked Emperor.
- Corrupted Character Copy: He is basically a send-up of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. They are both adolescents who are highly knowledgeable in the field of alchemy and each have a Dark and Troubled Past in which they tragically lose a female family member (Edward's mother and Iska Farkas' sister in their respective cases) who they unsuccessfully attempted to bring back to life. Also notable is that he even has Edward's V.A.s in both Japanese and English to reinforce this connection. However Iska Farkas is a darker take on Edward. Whereas Edward has a strong moral foundation and is also wise enough to accept what can and cannot be changed, Iska Farkas is a sociopath who covertly pits various people against each other in an effort to acquire both Soul Edge and Soulcalibur in an effort to destroy the world to both resurrect his sister, Ilona, and recreate the world as it was prior to her passing.
- Duality Motif: One red eye and one blue eye, paralleling Soul Edge and Soul Calibur.
- It's Personal: Barbaros killed his sister, so his grudge is as personal as it gets.
- Power Gives You Wings: When using Soul Edge and Soul Calibur he gets wings made from red and blue energy.
Sultan Barbaros
Origin: Lesbos, Ottoman Empire (Turkey)
Weapons: a pair of gauntlets
Sultan Barbaros of the Ottoman Empire is a mid-game boss in Soulcalibur Legends, although the player is tricked into thinking he is the final boss. He seeks to invade the Holy Roman Empire, which he almost manages to do using the power of Soul Calibur.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Upon gaining the power of Soul Calibur, he becomes a towering colossus whose fists can crush a normal sized person. An example of the scale between him and Siegfried and Lloyd Irving here
. - Climax Boss
- Disc-One Final Boss: After his death it's revealed Iska was using Siegfried to get both Soul Swords for himself.
- Flaming Hair: His hair is a mass of flames.
- Historical Domain Character: Hayreddin Barbarossa was an Ottoman admiral of the fleet who was born on the island of Lesbos and died in Constantinople, the Ottoman capital. Barbarossa's naval victories secured Ottoman dominance over the Mediterranean during the mid 16th century, from the Battle of Preveza in 1538 until the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.
- Tin Tyrant: Wears a spiny red suit of armor.
- Was Once a Man: He becomes a giant with Flaming Hair by using Soul Calibur's power.
