Another character I feel sorry is Yung Seoung. He's an example of "It's better to show him than tell him." Talim,Hwang & even Seoung Mina told him (Seoung Mina even showed)that Soul Edge was evil & like an idiot,he saw it for himself & STILL wanted it.
I believe whatever that THING(explanation needed) is did get a hold of Cassandra,much like it did Algol & transformed her into something like him,however she will have her memories of everybody plus some secrets
Aeon Calcos. The guy was sent by Hephaestus to embark on a divine quest only to end up being captured & turned into a lizard.Plus it's taking him like FOREVER to regain his memories.
I'm new to the forums & a big fan of Soul Calibur. I think Cassandra has slick found her way out of Astral Chaos much like Algol did,but she'll probably come out kinda screwed up.
