==Story==
Eddy was born into one of the richest families in Brazil. Ever since he was a small boy, he knew he would one day take over the family business. He was well-liked in his hometown because he was a hard worker who treated others as his equals.
One day, when he was 19, Eddy came home from school to find his father shot and dying. He recalled that his father had been unusually nervous and fearful in recent weeks. Eddy's father was working to destroy a drug business in Brazil at the time. His untimely death occurred just when he had obtained enough evidence to put the kingpins away for good. In his last breaths, Eddy's father told him, "Now is not the right time to fight. Falsely admit to the crime and hide in prison. Only there will you be safe". Eddy went along with his father's last wish and the model student went from a life of luxury to incarceration as a murderer. Prison life was hell and not a day went by that Eddy didn't vow to get even with his father's killers. One day during a prison riot, he watched an old man with great power fight using a technique he called Capoeira. For eight years, Eddy practiced until he became a master and could be considered a lethal weapon. During this time, his master asks him to go train his granddaughter Christie Monteiro once he is released and Eddy promises to do so.

===Tekken 5===
Eddy's master was about to be freed from prison after a long incarceration. Eddy went to the prison to meet his master but instead found a frail old man that was only a shadow of the strong Capoeira master he once knew. Upon taking his master to a hospital, Eddy was told his master had an incurable illness and had less than six months to live. However, it may be possible to discover a cure if they had access to the technology and resources of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Several days later, Eddy decides to enter the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament with Christie.

Eddy fails to win the fifth tournament. After discovering that Jin Kazama became the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, He meets up with the new CEO and Jin offered to lend him his money and resources to save his master's life.

Eddy joins the Tekken Force, and he is involved with a number of military operations just as the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament approaches. He appears when He, Jin, and Nina Williams go to inspect a laboratory that was attacked by the rebel leader Lars Alexandersson. After a soldier reports everything that happened there, Eddy asks what they are going to do and Jin says he will handle the situation and Eddy reminds them they have already lost two positions to the rebel army.

Eddy traveled to G Corporation's Millennium Tower in an attempt to find Kazuya, who was ruling G Corp from the shadows. He was confronted instead by Lucky Chloe, an idol working with G Corp.

As Eddy is beaten to within an inch of his life and about to be finished off by Kazuya, he is saved by the timely intervention of Yoshimitsu, who reunites him with a figure from his past who he has not seen in over 10 years. The figure advises Eddy that the path forward is not revenge, but redemption, and Eddy sets out to retrain himself in the ways of Capoeira. His training completed, Eddy realizes he should be using his skills to save as many people as he can from Kazuya's twisted regime. Seeking to atone for his misdeeds as a Tekken Force member, Eddy enters the eighth King of Iron Fist Tournament with renewed perspective and resolve.
