Biography:
Cervantes' father, Phillip de Leon, was a privateer sent on a
special mission from the Spanish king to loot in the name of
Spain. One day, he sailed closely to an English ship with intent
to loot it, only to find out too late that it was a warship.
He was taken by surprise, his ship was destroyed, and he nearly
died along with it. Cervantes was devastated. He decided that
if that was what happened to sailors that swear allegiance to
Spain, he would forsake it and become a pirate. One day, he
received a message from the "Merchant of Death," Vercci. It
was a request to find Soul Edge. At first Cervantes dismissed
the offer, but finally accepted since Vercci was the merchant
who gave him the artillery for his ship. After a year of
searching, Cervantes found information pointing to an
antiques dealer with a "strange article". There was no
specific evidence that said article was Soul Edge, but
Cervantes was a pirate, and could find some use for the
ship's goods even if Soul Edge was not there. Cervantes
attacked the ship, and nobody heard from him again for more than twenty years.
What had happened was that Cervantes had obtained Soul Edge
on that ship, and it drove him insane as it devoured his soul.
His insanity caused him to kill anyone who came looking for
Soul Edge--including his own crew and the entire population
of his home port town in Valencia--a reign of terror that
lasted for twenty years. Li Long was the first to confront
him to possess Soul Edge, but was defeated from its
overwhelming power. He tried to escape, and Cervantes
pursued him. However, Li Long successfully fled.
After that, Sophitia Alexandra, Taki and Siegfried
Schtauffen confronted Cervantes, and they all defeated
him in succession. But this was not the end for
Cervantes. Nightmare, the new host for Soul Edge,
unknowingly resurrected him using the fragments of
Soul Edge still lodged inside Cervantes' body, but
all his memories of his past life had vanished. Over
the course of the next three years, Cervantes sailed
in a ghost ship, plundering and maddening ships across
the world, as his memories gradually returned, along
with the desire to search for Soul Edge again, even
though he knew it had robbed him of his free will.
During Cervantes' search for Soul Edge, he realized
that the second sword had been shattered as well when
he found a few shards of the second sword. He pondered
as to whether or not Soul Edge had been definitively
conquered, but at that moment, the shards melded together
on their own to create a bigger piece of the sword.
For the next four years, Cervantes began his quest to
steal souls and collect additional fragments. Eventually,
they took the form of a legitimate sword. Cervantes' new
goal was to regain Soul Edge, and to do that, he needed as
many of the fragments as he could find.
By making use of the fragments of the cursed sword within
his body, Cervantes succeeded in preserving his own will.
With Soul Edge and the Adrian, he devoured the souls of
brawny men of the sea.

Weapon Description:
Nirvana -- A pistol sword once wielded by Cervantes.
It probably originates from Cervantes' pirate days.
He left it, alongside Acheron, since their power paled
in comparison to Soul Edge, but recovered both weapons
from his flagship, the Adrian, once he lost the wicked sword.
Nirvana is an unusual weapon with a gun in its hilt, which
Cervantes can use to break a deadlock (as demonstrated in one
of his counters) by shooting his opponent with it. In Soul Calibur
III, he can use the pistol to shoot enemies both in the air and on
the ground, with devastating effects.
Soul Edge (Fragments) -- After collecting various fragments of the damaged Soul Edge,
Cervantes was able to meld them together and create a new Soul
Edge with them. The fragments inside himself sustain his power
and prevent him from being controlled by the wicked sword. It's
an excellent weapon, but it pales in comparison with Soul Edge's real power.

Cervantes was revealed to be the father of Ivy.
In the Whole World of Soul Calibur section of the old Soul Archive site,
its revealed Ivy's mother is actually the daughter of the Black Tail inn owner,
whom Cervantes raped at Soul Edge's will to have a spare host if his current is rendered useless.
Cervantes' nickname in Soul Blade and Soul Calibur is "The Immortal Pirate".
Story-wise he's also known as "The Dread Pirate".
Cervantes is left handed.
