Biography
Necrid was a man born hundreds of years in the past, and one of the many who were able to touch Soul Edge after killing its previous owners. However, the dark magic within the sword emerged from it and possessed Necrid. He ran away in fear, but became trapped in a vortex of the Spiritual Realm. There, his body and mind were twisted at the will of evil, turning him into a monster.
