Reading his info (through Google Translate, so don't know how accurate it is), here are some interesting tidbits about Azwel:
  • Under "Relations" it says he considers all of humanity his family. No mention of Groh.
  • He's from the Holy Roman Empire
  • He's a self designated "Scholar of Humanity"
  • He was/is part of the Aval Organization and was conducting research into both swords
  • His weapon is his gauntlets and there's shards of Soul Edge embedded in one gauntlet and a shards of Soul Calibur in the other

God damn it the story mode art is so good. Azwel looks amazing there. I hope the characters have a nice variety of different expressions; I think they will. Ivy for instance has that one super disgusted look on her face in her teaser piece (facing Voldo I think?) that can't possibly be her one and only Soul Chronicle "sprite".

Like someone said earlier, having them give it the Nintendo treatment with an extra Link guest and Nintendo CAS items would be the smartest route. I'd gladly double dip.

Yes. to all of this.

Also, Azwel art is gorgeous. I dont know why i like him so much, but he honestly excites me as the newest character.
 
Hmm Aval. Palindrome. Aval backwards is Lava. Inferno! They're connected to Inferno.

PS must really love Infinity Gauntlet and Thanos between the Zas snap and Azwel.

So... I think the thing about Azwel being Groh's dad might be a hilarious assumption from the localization leaker.

We know from the trailer Groh is involved in Libra of Soul and even seems to fight against Azwel directly. In their conversations, which there are probably a lot of, Azwel probably refers to Groh as "my son" or something like that.

It might not literally be true though. He very well could be speaking metaphorically. He might even refer to everyone as his child, with his whole "leader of humanity" bit. I could easily see this confusing the localizer and lead them to miss the context and take it at face value.

There could end up being a Darth Vader type "no, Groh, I am your father. Like for real, not figuratively" moment, but I dunno, seems unlikely now. Just my theory.

Well, a palindrome is a word or phrase that is the same forwards and backwards (i.e. race car), so lava and Aval are not really palindromes. I see your reasoning here but I doubt they're specifically connected to Inferno since it's just the physical manifestation of Soul Edge before the sword possesses the azure armor with Zasalamel's help.
