Cecil Harvey is half-Lunarian, and the younger brother of Golbez. He was raised by the King of Baron, a kindly man until he was killed and replaced by Cagnazzo, an archfiend. Under the false kind, Cecil performed acts of cruelty, which tormented his conscience. He leaves Baron in secret, fighting to cleanse the world of the evil that had infested its halls. He sheds his former self, the Dark Knight of Baron, and takes the mantle of a Paladin instead. He slays the elemental archfiends, clashing with his brother as he does so. He meets and recruits friends from all nations above and below the earth, eventually reuniting with his lover, Rosa, and his best friend, Kain. Golbez, however, thwarts them at nearly every turn, either personally swooping in to achieve his aim or utilizing mind control on Kain to do so.
Golbez activates the Tower of Babil and the Giant of Babil, causing Cecil to lead an army comprised of every nation above and below ground. He eventually defeats Golbez, breaking the magician out of being controlled by Zemus, an ancient being on the moon. Cecil then travels to the moon, killing Zemus before returning and marrying Rosa before taking the throne of Baron.
Battle vs. Hildegard von Krone (Original Timeline) (by Leolab)[]
Cecil winds his way through the tight, metallic corridors, checking his back to make sure none of the other contestants – especially not the cloaked man – take him by surprise. He wonders aloud what the goal of all of this is, and the voice in his ear answers: “There is a great evil loose. I’m holding this to see who is best suited to kill it.” A little startled, Cecil pulls out his axe and shield and rounds the corner, finding himself in a wide room, with a replica of Castle Baron in the middle.
Hilde, being teleported to a different part of the maze, wanders around, looking for an opponent. The narrow, winding corridors appear to be hewn out of rock, and with little light save a couple lamps. She sees Othrinsburg Castle through a window in one of the tunnels, but the window is too small for her to climb on to the raft. Thinking that Soul Edge is responsible for the mess she’s in, she resolves to beat all opposition in her path to conquer the sword. Winding through hallways for what seems like forever, she comes upon a strange castle.
Cecil is examining the throne room when he hears the doors open. He drops to a fighting crouch, thinking he’ll save Ragnarok for when he needs it. Hilde walks in, spear and sword drawn. She walks up to the throne room, thinking that Soul Edge would likely put its puppets in power. Walking in, she sees a man in white armor. Knowing the rules, she thrusts with her spear, hoping to catch him off guard.
Cecil raises his shield and deflects the blow, and catches the haft of the spear in his axe as Hilde tries to recover. Using the control he now has over her weapon, Cecil closes the distance and tries for a shield bash. Altogether too late, he notices Hilde’s shortsword. She strikes at his weapon arm, but it glances off of his gauntlet. There was still enough force behind the strike to wound, though, and blood starts to flow from the shallow wound.
Hilde, thinking she severed the muscle, yanks her spear, sending the axe flying out of Cecil’s grasp. Cecil quickly backpedals, creating distance between the two. Hilde throws her spear at him, but only gets another glancing blow. Cecil, now bleeding profusely from an arm and a leg, retreats behind the throne and into the Crystal Chamber as Hilde reclaims her weapon. She picks it up, and follows the trail of blood into the secret room. She sees it leading behind the crystal, and walks around it, and thrusts her spear forward to start her critical finish.
She strikes air, and feels a sharp pain in her lower back. Cecil had cast Cure on himself, sealing his wounds and cast Teleport to reclaim his axe. He had crept up behind Hilde, and cast Libra to find a little more information about his opponent. Seeing that she had no knowledge of his magic, he decides to use the blood trail as a trap. As she rounded the corner to strike, he swung his axe and scored a hit. Unfortunately, despite wounding his adversary, his axe was now stuck in her armor.
Cecil draws Ragnarok, and bats aside a spear thrust with his shield. He blocks and parries a flurry of thrusts from Hilde’s spear and slashes from her shortsword. Seeing an opportunity, he thrusts forward. The sword lets out a burst of Holy energy on impact, increasing the power of the thrust and piercing straight through Hilde’s armor. The floor of the crystal chamber is now soaked in red, and Cecil turns and leaves, determined to vanquish the evil.
