Thunder (Killer Instinct) (Modern)

==Summary==
Thunder is a playable character in Killer Instinct (2013). He and his brother Eagle grew up on a Nez Perce reservation, and their parents were tribal police officers who always encouraged them to walk the path of righteousness.
In his youth he went on a vision quest to seek his Weyekin, which came to him in the middle of a great storm. A black bird spoke to him in his native language, foreshadowing that he would fight an evil monster one day. From that moment, he began training in combat and studying his tribe's traditions. Years later, his parents were mysteriously killed outside an Ultratech facility, a factory that had been fined for polluting the land. The brothers knew the truth and tried to build a case, but their efforts were thwarted by the corporation. Eagle also disappeared in the Killer Instinct tournament, attempting to uncover the truth.
Blind with rage, Thunder raided that facility, just to be incarcerated and released soon after. That night the building and its secrets were burned down, and Thunder fled knowing he would have been framed. A year later he was visited by Eagle's Guardian during a second vision quest, helping him finding the resolve become a warrior and set on a mission to find answers and bring down Ultratech. Many things happened in this journey, such as the second Killer Instinct tournament, where Thunder fought the Fulgore, whom he suspected being somehow tied to his brother. Next, Thunder met and befriended Aganos, allied with the Disavowed and participated in the war against Gargos, joining forces with the hated Ultratech for the greater good.

Note: Thunder's Killer Instinct (2013) Arcade Mode - Thunder sets his age as 47; however, it was written when the game was supposed to be a sequel to the previous Killer Instinct games. Because of further expansions of the plot and lore, many retcons to the overall backstory have been made, and the references to Thunder's age and the time which has passed point at him being younger.
