His name is Archos. He wields the Flam beau Axe which is an ancient axe of the elements. He fights on the side of good. He goes from town to town ridding evil and restoring order. He accepts nothing for his efforts aside from food and lodging. Some of the townspeople told of great evil that would be present at the Soul Calibur tournament and proceeded to show him the way there. He was also told of the Soul Swords; the Holy Sword Soul Caliber and the evil sword Soul Edge.
He has entered the tournament, but not with the intent to one day possess the swords, but rather to keep the swords out the hands of evil.

His battle techniques consist of:

Magma Pillars- strikes the earth with his axe which brings forth immense shafts of lava below his opponent.

Dragon Flame- uses the fire within him to breathe fiery projectiles at the enemy, thus burning him/her.

Critical finisher: Lava Tidal Wave- uses his axe to summon an overwhelming wave of fire and brimstone at a high velocity to engulf his opponent, thus reducing them to ashes.
