[edit] Background
The son of a Russian senior bureaucrat, Biff has received special education in wrestling since he was a child. He practices an assortment of martial arts (sambo, karate, etc.) and has won many championships. Disliking showmanship, Biff prefers executing his attacks with concentrated power and playing out every move in his head. At one time, he was a student at Mike Haggar's gym, along with his friend/rival and fellow wrestler Gunloc (Lucky Colt in Japan). It upsets him that some individuals consider wrestling to be fake.
