Arcturus is Algol's son. Jealous of his father's power, he stole Soul Edge. However, his will was not strong like his father's, and he was possessed by the evil sword. It then commanded him to destroy his father. Having no other choice, Algol overwhelms and kills his son in combat. Algol's sorrow after his son's death persuades him to create the spirit sword Soul Calibur.
In Soulcalibur IV
Arcturus is seen three times in the game: In one of Algol's flashbacks; in Talim and Sophitia's endings; and as an illusion created out of his memories by Zasalamel, sent to fight Algol in his story. The illusory Arcturus uses Nightmare's fighting style and wields Soul Edge (Nauplius). He is the only NPC in the game to do so. Most of his dialogue comes straight out of character creation, but he has one unique line which is; "Father, is that you?"
Character Creation
He cannot be completely created in Character Creation; much of his costume was designed to look similar to Algol's, whose clothing cannot be selected, but his face, hair style and weapon can be selected. So it is possible to create a close model to Arcturus using the aforementioned items, it is just impossible to create his exact costume.

Trivia
- In Soulcalibur II's Weapons Master Mode, one chapter sees the player searching for an ancient knight named Arcturus, whose spirit is then fought (represented by Charade). It is most likely not the same Arcturus as this mode is set on a fictional location, but it should be noted that on another chapter there is a country called "Algol". It has yet to be determined whether Namco had the storyline of these two characters in mind at the time, or they simply named them after these two items in Soulcalibur II. Also note when Soulcalibur III was in the making, the preview sites stated that Soul Edge was once used by "a king who was forced to kill his son".
- Arcturus is presumed to be the very first person to be possessed by Soul Edge.
- Arcturus is the brightest star in the Boötes constellation. This is likely to be how Namco chose his name, seeing as Algol also has a star based name.
