## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Hildegard von Krone**, or Hilde for short. Hilde was born as the daughter of the king of Wolfkrone, a fictional European kingdom hidden in the Holy Roman Empire. Since childhood she trained in the royal fighting style wielding the traditional spear and sword, the symbol of the kingdom. After years of training, she soon became one of the best warriors of the realm and therefore the legitimate successor of the throne.

Her father, described as a formerly stoic, but kind-hearted, fair man, lost his sanity to the destructive rains of the Evil Seed, virtually transforming him into an animal. After he fell into madness, the king was sentenced to live out the rest of his days in an isolated chamber, located at the very top of the Wolfkrone castle tower. With the king driven to insanity, the kingdom turned to the remaining candidate for leadership, forcing Hilde upon the throne despite her young age. By gathering allies and power, Hilde was able to resist the invading forces of the Azure Knight.

As Hilde devoted much of her youth to protecting and guiding Wolfkrone, she didn’t experience a true childhood, and was forced to handle the burdens of adulthood. Hilde disciplined herself, becoming emotionally and physically stronger over the passing years and leading her country on the front lines of the battlefield.

One day, Hilde learned that Soul Edge was slowly gaining power, and prepared her forces for battle. In the following days, Hilde and her soldiers came to the assistance of a troop of mercenaries traveling through Wolfkrone. Most of the mercenaries’ numbers had dwindled after they were attacked by the inhabitants of the ruined castle. When Hilde and her army traveled out to defeat Soul Edge, they were greeted by a cheering crowd.

### Appearance

Prior to replacing her father after he became malfested, she wore her alternate outfit from Soulcalibur IV.

She also wears a suit of armor consisting of a golden cuirass under a red royal coat adorned with golden gauntlets. Underneath her armor is what appears to be a black dress skirt over black chain mail adorned with golden greaves.

Her head is also adorned with a golden crown.

### Personality

Crown Princess-Regent Hilde is a brave and emotionally strong princess. She is also quite honorable as can be seen in her quotes as well as expressing her willingness and passion to help the citizens of Wolfkrone against threats, like the malfested. She has wisdom beyond her years, taking the oath as regent to ascend the throne in lieu of her father in her preadolescent years, later taking duties as commander-in-chief of the Wolfkrone army at only 18.

She has a strong disdain for the malfested and calls them beast, as seen in fights introductions against Voldo and Astaroth. She is shown to be quite merciful to opponents she takes pity on and will spare those she deems redeemable.
