Believing it to be truly Marduk disgracing his master, King entered the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament to settle the score once and for all. King was later enraged to find out that what appeared to be Marduk was defeating opponents in a black jaguar mask (identical to Armor King's), and that he had issued a televised challenge to King. King let him live, realizing how foolish he had become. However, he stopped after seeing a portrait of Marduk and his elderly parents. He defeated Marduk in the fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament, sending him to the hospital, where King followed him to deliver a deadly blow. Upon Marduk's release (thanks to bribes paid by King himself), King sent a letter challenging Marduk to the tournament in Tekken 4. The perpetrator, Craig Marduk, had been arrested in Arizona and was sent to prison. Armor King watched as the new King, fueled with rage, set his sights on avenging his foster father's death and proving himself worthy of wearing the mask.Īfter the third King of Iron Fist Tournament, King (now 30) discovered that his master, Armor King, had been killed in a bar fight. With rumors of the "God of Fighting" circulating, Armor King revealed to his student that the elusive entity was the one most likely responsible. By this time, the now 28-year-old wrestler was a worthy heir to the throne, however, he longed to punish the one responsible for the original King's death. For four years, the two of them trained, and the new King learned quickly, maturing into a forceful wrestler with extreme power, known as King II. This man revealed himself to be Armor King, who was interested in finding out if the rumors of a new King were true. One day, however, another man with a mask visited the new King, introducing himself as an old friend. However, since his technique was learned just from watching King, not training with him, he lost every competition he entered. Seeing that the orphanage would crumble into ruin (the money gained from King's wrestling matches was the only funding received), this man donned the mask of King and imitated his style. Until the age of 24, this wrestler worked hard with King until one day, news broke of the first King's death at the hands of Ogre. The second King was a street urchin who was brought up in the first King's orphanage. Ogre attacked several martial artists around the world, including King, who was killed afterwards. Sometime later on, Ogre, the God of Fighting, was awakened from an ancient ruin in Mexico by Heihachi Mishima's Tekken Force. He also taught his fighting skills to the children under his care as a means of self-defense. After the tournament, King participated in both pro-wrestling and martial arts tournaments to win money for his orphanage. He battled Armor King at the tournament and was defeated, not before leaving a scar below Armor King's eye. King trained intensely and recovered from his alcoholism. He would have died had he not been convinced by his old friend and rival, Armor King, to again wear the jaguar mask and join The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. After a child died in his care, King became depressed and, giving up his jaguar mask, returned to the street and became a raging alcoholic. He managed to get third place, winning enough prize money for the orphanage. Lacking the necessary funds to achieve his dream, King entered the first King of Iron Fist Tournament, in order to obtain them. He then became a man with a mission he dreamed of building an orphanage for street children, hoping to save them from becoming the kind of person he used to be. He became a Catholic priest and renounced his old fighting ways. After recovering, King realized the error of his ways and resolved to start a new life. The Marquez priests saved him from death. In one of his fights, King was grievously wounded and collapsed in front of a monastery. The first King used to be a ruthless street brawling orphan with no care in the world except fighting. Reception to the overall character has been incredibly positive since the beginning of the series, with King being described as a "fan-favorite" and is generally considered to be one of the series' more iconic characters.Ĭharacter backstory King I One of the Kings has been in all the Tekken games to date, King I being in Tekken and Tekken 2, and King II being in the rest of the Tekken games from then on.
