## Lore

Giuseppi Rodriguez was born in Nice, France, Aug 18, 1912. His father was a chef and his mother a world renowned fisher. His father soon started training Giuseppi in the art of cooking, which Giuseppi excelled at. However, his prodigious talent was a double-edged sword, as his father began tormenting Giuseppi whenever he would make a mistake while cooking. This eventually built up into a rare medical condition called *Antiporkdumpling Psychosis*, in which whoever has it has the inability to cook pork dumplings. Giuseppi also picked up martial arts as a hobby in his childhood and found he was quite talented at it.

Through his great intelligence and prodigious talent, Giuseppi got accepted into the best cooking school in all of France, in Paris. He soon moved there and excelled. He cooked with the best of the best and become one of the best. However, Giuseppi was notably bad with money and quickly went into debt, being harassed by loan sharks almost every week. This lead to him joining the **Above Ground Underground Fightclub**, where he soon honed his martial arts skills to mastery. However, whenever Giuseppi got enough money to get out of debt, he soon found himself back in debt with his spending habits.

Many years later, in 1975, he had a son that he never met. All he knew was that he was born in New York City, but Giuseppi had more important things on his mind - his revenge against Mister Han.
