A character in Soul Calibur who carries around a really big axe. He has some excellent moves, although they tend to be slow. Still, the prospect of him swinging an axe around and slicing the shit out of Xianghua or another obligatory fighting-game bimbo is just very entertaining to watch. If you don't own a Dreamcast and this very fine video game, it's worth your 50 cents to play as Astaroth in the arcade game.
