[edit] History
[edit] Tekken 2
Dr. Boskonovitch was kidnapped by Kazuya Mishima in the run-up to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and was forced to work for him. Some of the many projects involved the creation of the bio-weapons Roger and Alex, as well as the completion of the Prototype Jack unit. After completing his tasks, and before being executed, Dr. Boskonovitch is rescued by the friend he helped save previously, Yoshimitsu.
[edit] Tekken 3
Dr. Boskonovitch was a leading scientist of the former USSR. At the age of 12, he designed a new type of ballistic missile, and instantly became famous in the scientific world. After losing his own daughter, Boskonovitch has been doing research on human resurrections and cold-sleep machines. Through these experiments, he became active in cloning and the creation of andriods, such as Jack.
With no sense of good or evil, he works only to somehow revive his daughter.
In his recent experiments, he invented the "Cold Sleep" machine in search of eternal life. The technology, still unproven, was used to preserve his young daughter who suddenly passed away. Boskonovitch mysteriously contracts a pathological organism which he believes came from the "Cold Sleep" machine. He is also housing Nina Williams and Anna Williams in the "Cold Sleep" unit for research and will stop at nothing to get his daughter back.
Dr. Boskonovitch turns to an old friend: Yoshimitsu for help and pleads for him to enter the third tournament and obtain the blood of Ogre which he needs to survive. He's responsible for saving Yoshimitsu from death, and Boskonovitch himself was also saved from the Mishimas by Yoshimitsu.
In order to cure himself and to revive his daughter, he needs the blood of the fighting god, Toshin (Ogre).
Doctor Boskonovitch is a companion of Yoshimitsu. Doctor Boskonovitch uses unique ground fighting techniques because he suffers from a rare disease that affects the spine. His daughter is also sick, and he started the "cold sleep" project for the purpose of freezing her until he could find a cure. He is also responsible for the creation of both Roger and Alex.
He is apparently the only man in the world who knows the truth about Ogre (although how and why has yet to be confirmed). After Tekken 4, Yoshimitsu saves Bryan Fury, who is offered a new body by Dr. Boskonovitch, but due to the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament being announced just months after the fourth tournament, the new body isn't complete. Bryan is only given a new and infinite-powered battery. When Bryan hears this, he pushes Doctor Boskonovitch aside, and kills some of Yoshimitsu's fellow Manji Clan members, who tried to stop him. Although he made his only appearance as a playable character in Tekken 3, Doctor Boskonovitch appears to have been involved with the Mishima Zaibatsu since before the first Tekken.
[edit] Tekken 4
Dr. Boskonovitch appears in Bryan Fury's Tekken 4 ending. In it, he explains to Bryan that he will now mechanize him and allow him to be completely reborn in a new incarnation. Bryan lays supine in the chair and Boskonovitch holds a gun-shaped device containing sleeping gas. Bidding him sweet dreams, he injects the gas into Bryan. Throughout, he speaks in a very gentle, paternal tone and is very calm.
[edit] Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
While breaking into the Mishima Zaibatsu's vault, Yoshimitsu found an injured Bryan Fury, and he brought him to Doctor Boskonovitch. Bryan entrusts the doctor with giving him a "perfect" body. However, the doctor found Bryan's body too complex, and he instead installed a perpetual generator. Bryan proceeded to attack the doctor, as well as Manji Clan members who were with him. When Yoshimitsu arrived to visit Dr. Boskonovitch, he finds the lab in ruins, and his comrades dead. Seeing this, he vowed vengeance on Bryan, and entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
