Night Dragon is a Soulcalibur: Chronicles of the Sword fan character created by Nightmare76. He is the former alter-ego of Draco Faust Williams and what lies in his soul is Corruption.

Appearance
Night Dragon is very similar to Nightmare in appearance including having a grotesque claw with three digits for a right arm, but rather than it just covering his arm and shoulder, the jet-black flesh covers his entire body even forming over his face (he kept this trait even after he was exorcised from Draco's soul). Once he was exorcised from Draco, his form seemingly merged with the armor some of it became flesh-like and the mouthpiece of the helmet even became a mouth with jagged teeth and a long serpentine tongue. Since he's technically a part of Draco, he has a dragon transformation as well. When he used Draco as a host, his dragon form was simply Draco's with a second head which was black and metallic in appearance- obviously symbolizing Soul Edge consuming Draco. Upon being exorcised from Draco's soul, his dragon form produced it's own body with which was serpentine and looked like a mix of flesh and metal. He always wears his trademark jet-black armor which make him look even more menacing.

History
Night Dragon was created within Draco's soul on the day he slew his father, Gilford Daemon. After killing his father, Draco began to suffer from a personality disorder which would later allow Soul Edge to spawn Night Dragon as Draco swore revenge on Soul Edge shortly after slaying his father for all it had taken from him as it had taken his master, Girardot and now allegedly his brother, Drake. His search for the cursed sword lead him to Nightmare, but Draco was defeated by the Azure Knight, although for some reason he was spared. The real reason Nightmare had spared him was that Soul Edge had infected Draco with it's essence and formed Night Dragon from Draco's hatred. Soon after his injuries healed, his inner demon began possessing him as he slept.

Night Dragon eventually gathered several shards of Soul Edge and augmented them to Faust to gain a little more control over his host- this formed Soul Edge (Symbiote), but the shards would hide their presents when Draco was awake so Draco was unaware of them. Draco tried to struggle with his inner demon, but no matter how hard he tried, he'd often wake up to the sights of genocides he had committed in his sleep as Night Dragon.

It soon became apparent to Soul Edge that Draco would make a perfect new host for it, so it sent Tira to travel with Draco to make sure nothing ruined it's plans, but this actually backfired as Draco fell in love with Tira and began to fight even harder for control, so he could save her from Soul Edge's corruption as well. Draco eventually met with Siegfried who claimed he could cure Draco of his curse. Draco accepted his help and was given the sword, Gram which exorcised Night Dragon from Draco's soul; however, the demonic knight would not be defeated so easily, he formed a temporary body, stole Faust and revealed it had been augmented with Soul Edge fragments. The two fought in a destructive battle, but in the end, Draco was victorious. Night Dragon's existence was seemingly extinguished and Draco was free of Soul Edge's corruption once and for all.
