General:
Armor King travels from one wrestling ring to another, searching for a worthy challenger. Armor King watched with interest at King's attempt to win the first tournament in need of money for his orphanage. Although King did not win the tournament, he won third place, giving him enough money to build his orphanage. Soon after a child dies in his care, King ran away, choosing the path of the drunkard. Armor King saw a total change in his old rival as King no longer entered any wrestling tournaments and disappeared for long periods of time. Armor King became worried about his friend/rival and intervened just in time, as King was at the edge of a breakdown. Finding King distraught and drunk in an alleyway, he convinces him to get back into the spirit of fighting and enter the second tournament. After meeting King at the tournament, he defeated him, despite the other fighter's resolve and new techniques. Telling him of his orphanage, he bids King to return to his foster children.

"The mysterious masked wrestler, Armor King.... Just who is behind the steel armor and black jaguar mask and what do they seek? The answer is veiled in mystery." That is all that is said about him in his Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection prologue. There is no mention of him being the original Armor King or a new holder of the title. His Dark Resurrection storyline has him fighting Craig Marduk, Armor King's supposed murderer, at Stage Four.

During the King of Iron Fist Tournament, Armor King attacked Craig Marduk and than vanished. Who is this man hidden behind the black panther mask and steel disguised as Armor King? What’s his relationship to King and for what reason did he attack Craig? Still hidden in mystery, the gong for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 has all ready been rung.

Comment:
Armor King was always a mysterious and cool kind of character... It was great to see him in Tekken Tag with new movies and combo throws, and his long awaited return in Tekken 5: DR took his design a step further. I've seen some of his Tekken 6 stuff, and let me tell you, his name should be "Evil King." Some of his new moves just say OUCH. All in all, he's a really fun character to use, and is now a completely different character from King..
