Dampierre

## How Dampierre joined the Tourney

Lord Geo Dampierre, a flawless con artist, was known by many names. "Alchemist of the Ages", "The World's Greatest Assassin", "Artistic Genius", "Invincible Duelist", "Jewel Mender", "Merchant from the East", "Miraculous Psychic", there was not a character that Dampierre could not perform. As time drew on however, people began to recognize him as a thief, and the life of luxury which the spoils of his cons once provided came to an end. To stay alive, Dampierre began taking dirty jobs, like robbery and kidnapping, effectively sullying the elegance that he mastered in order to enchant the salons.

### Cockaigne, the Land of Plenty (Down)

Based on his Soul Calibur V Critical Edge, Dampierre holds his arms protectively to his face begging "My moustache!" If anyone tries to attacks, his hands will give off green energy, blinding them. Dampierre then jumps up briefly and goes under the target while going "Now's my chance!" He next lightly kicks the opponent's lower region before going "Gotcha!" and blasting the opponent's back with magic. He next poses and snaps his fingers before saying "Genius!"

### Dampierre's Nightmare (Hyper Smash)

Dampierre jumps playfully forward while laughing. If he reaches an opponent, he begins cutting at the opponent in a fast switchblade auto combo. He then ends the combo by doing two kicks to the chest, sending the opponent flying. Dampierre then says "Guilty Mwa Ha!"

### Dampierre's World (Final Smash)

Based on his Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny Critical Finish, Dampierre glares suspiciously forward. If any opponent is caught in the glare, he says "Hear Le Bello's story!" A thought bubble then appears as Dampierre starts "Le Bello's daughter..." then everything fasts forward comically for Dampierre and the opponent he is telling the story to. When the story reaches its conclusion, the opponent has a heart attack and falls dead, taking a life from the stock. When the Final Smash is a success, Dampierre says "Such perfection from Le Bello!".
