## Story

### Early Life

King is a young man who was raised in the original King's orphanage. After being savagely attacked by Ogre, his mentor's dying wish was for King to take over the orphanage. He met up with the one he knew could help, Armor King, and asked to be trained to succeed the old King. While the young man had to struggle to win back the crowd as the successor, he eventually succeeded, and King II is born, carrying the legacy of the old.

### *Tekken 3*

When he finally became a great wrestler on his own, Armor King revealed to him about Ogre, the death of the first King, and the upcoming third King of Iron Fist Tournament. King II entered in order to avenge his idol. During the tournament, he met a woman named Julia Chang, whom he would become friends with.

Although King II did not win, there was a sense of satisfaction from the numerous matches he endured and the fact that regardless if he lost, Ogre was destroyed and King I's death would be avenged. Later, King returned to the wrestling scene, with Armor King cheering him on from the background. King was awarded the championship belt when he noticed that Armor King has left the arena. King went to the dressing room where he found Armor King sitting and holding his mask instead of wearing it.

### *Tekken 4*

Two years later, tragedy struck once again. One day, Armor King was visiting a bar in Australia, and came across a bar brawl initiated by a Vale Tudo fighter, Craig Marduk. Trying to dissuade the man out of his overconfidence and rudeness, Armor King ended up fighting the man, but age caught up to him and Armor King was killed. However, as a consequence for Armor King I's murder, Marduk was convicted to ten years in prison for second-hand manslaughter.

Enraged for Armor King's death, King swore upon Armor King’s grave that he would seek revenge against the man responsible for his mentor’s death. With the money he earned from professional wrestling tournaments, King arranged for the murderer’s release. King then sent him a plane ticket and an article about the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. With his plans in motion, King headed for the Tournament to await his sworn enemy, Craig Marduk.

During the tournament, King met Marduk and applied a vicious beatdown to Marduk and after the unforgiving thrashing, He was hospitalized. Despite not winning the tournament, his objective was complete.

However, King felt that Marduk needed to be taught an even more severe lesson. King followed Marduk to the hospital to kill him. However, upon seeing a photo of Marduk and his family, King II realized that he too was becoming a killer and that two wrongs don't make a right. Realizing that revenge was not the answer, He left Marduk alone.

### *Tekken 5*

What King II failed to realize was that Marduk's pride was hurt badly and once he recovered, he sought revenge. After training himself, Marduk donned a black jaguar mask and began interrupting various matches brutally while issuing challenges to King II. In order to clean up his master's legacy, King II decided to enter the fifth tournament to end the feud with Marduk once and for all.

During the tournament, he encountered Julia once again. She told him to not let Marduk's words get to him and not to fight, but he refused. Julia then decides to stop King herself. After King defeated her, he was still adamant in fighting Marduk, but he had another plan in mind. Once he fought Marduk, he defeated him fair and square, and lent his hand to Marduk like a true sportsman. Motivated by this kindness, Marduk accepted defeat and started to clean up his ways.

Afterwards, Marduk was suddenly assaulted by a mysterious man that was dressed like the man he killed: Armor King. King also encountered this man, but was instead beaten down with techniques that looked similar to his mentor.

### *Tekken 6*

With the world engulfed in war, King all but gave-up looking for Marduk's attacker when he received an invitation from Marduk to join him in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. If they both participated in the tournament, perhaps the Armor King imposter would appear once again. With that hope in his mind, King decided to take part in the contest.

After the tournament, King II went back home and found a shocking piece of evidence... A photo, which showed the original Armor King, alongside another person wearing the armor that Armor King wears. King then realized that there were two Armor Kings.

Meanwhile, to make sure that he wasn't seeing a zombie, Marduk was forced to dig up Armor King's grave and see if the corpse was still there. To Marduk's shock, the corpse was still in place, and the same Armor King stood in front of him, just as King entered the scene with this revelation.

This man then revealed everything... the man Marduk killed three years before was his twin brother, and he is the second Armor King, much like how King II succeeded the first King. But unlike King, he wasn't going to show mercy to the killer of his brother...
