 He is voiced by Shigeru Chiba in Japanese, who the developers felt gave the character a distinct voice.Dampierre's introduction in the game was the result of the amount of unused character and weapon designs that were excluded from "Soulcalibur IV", and the team's desire to instead focus on creating a character based around their personality instead.Though the development team had mixed feelings regarding the character, they chose to take a risk and add him to "Broken Destiny" regardless.
