α Patroklos Storyline (Soul Edge Series)

Soul Calibur V
Storyline of Soul Calibur 5
Known as "Neve" to those around her, Setsuka had been taking in orphans and teaching them to defend themselves. Upon seeing her lightning-fast sword techniques, Patroklos begged her to teach him. She agreed, and allowed him to join the orphans in their training.

Driven by his single-minded lust for revenge, Patroklos learned at a surprisingly fast pace.

But his teacher expressed little joy at his progress. Setsuka had onced lived for revenge herself, and she admonished him not to lose his heart to such dark desires.

Young and brash, Patroklos took umbrage at her words and turned his back on his teacher.

Looking back on it now, Patroklos realizes that the woman he spurned may have been the closest thing he'd ever had to a mother; what he'd run away from was not Setsuka, but his own heart.

Clenching the transformed spirit sword tightly, Patroklos swears a solemn vow: "I shall run no more!"
