[edit] Non-Combatants
Characters mentioned or alluded to in the Tekken series, but who have never participated in the tournament.
[edit] Doctor Abel
- A 90-year-old scientist who was fairly famous in the underground world, but his findings and achievement's were often overshadowed and preceded by those of Doctor Boskonovitch.
Prior to The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Dr. Abel was in the final stages of completing his master project... the creation of a Cyborg Army. Abel believed that the "perfect cyborg" required that the mechanics be designed by his arch rival, Doctor Boskonovitch. In order to gain the necessary information needed, Abel, through his underground connections, acquired and re-animated the corpse of a recently deceased IPO (International Police Organization) Officer named Bryan Fury. Dr. Abel disptaches Bryan with the sole mission of collecting the critically needed data from Boskonovitch. Bryan sneaks into The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, targeting the participant Yoshimitsu, whom has strong ties with Doctor Boskonovitch. Bryan failed.
- Following The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Heihachi Mishima, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Mishima Zaibatsu, recruited Dr. Abel as his top scientific advisor. On accepting this esteemed position, Abel abandoned his plan to create a Cyborg Army, as well as Bryan Fury, without giving a second thought to the now-obsolete cyborg's well being or status.
- Over the next two years, Abel spearheaded extensive experimentation, under the orders of Heihachi Mishima, in attempting to splice Ogre's genome with that of Heihachi Mishima, in order to create a new lifeform.[1]
Appearances
- Abel appears in Gun Jack's Tekken 3 ending, Julia Chang's Tekken 4 ending, and Bryan Fury's Tekken 4 Prologue and Epilogue (only during the written part, not the CG part.). In Gun Jack's ending, he tries to destroy Gun Jack by firing a beam from space, but he fails because Gun Jack's energy shield protected both Jane and himself. In Julia's ending, he describes a project called "Genocell". After hearing this information, Julia deletes all of the "Genocell" files. Abel shoots at her with a gun, but he misses every shot, and Julia escapes with her life. In Bryan's Prologue, it is said that Abel abandoned him, and an image of Abel is shown. In Bryan's epilogue, Bryan approaches Abel on shaky legs and knocks Abel across the room. At the same time, Bryan falls to the ground, unconscious.
[edit] Jane
A young girl who was orphaned in a battlezone after the Russian government attacked with a platoon of Jack robots. The unit Jack-2 overcame his programming to protect her, but he was destroyed in the process. Over the past twenty years, Jane has dedicated her life to finding a way to resurrect her beloved Jack, with the funding of the Mishima Zaibatsu. But after being attacked by the Tekken Force and saved by Gun Jack, Jane now works for G Corporation. She developed Jack-4 and Jack-5 while working for G Corporation.
[edit] Legendary Capoeira Master
- The Capoeira teacher to Eddy Gordo, and grandfather of Christie Monteiro. It was this man who took Eddy Gordo under his wing, after having saved Eddy from brutal beating, during a prison riot (see PlayStation Tekken 3 Opening Movie for reference). It is unknown why the legendary Capoeira master is in prison. He went onto school Eddy Gordo in the survival skills necessary to survive the harsh realities of Brazilian prison life; as well as instructing Eddy in the ways of Capoeira under his tutorledge. In Tekken 5, he is finally released from his long incarceration, but has however become a frail, weak, emaciated old man, due to suffering from what is believed to be a terminal illness. In light of this situation, both Christie and Eddy enter the Fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament together with renewed vigor, in the hopes of aquiring a cure that will save him. The Legendary Capoeira Master appears in Christie and Eddy's shared ending.[1]
[edit] Sebastian
- Sebastian is Lili's butler. He appears in Lili's ending in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, and he is mentioned in two of Lili's win animations ("Sebastian, they say they're leaving already." and "(Sighs.). Sebastian, can't you do better than this?".).
[edit] Richard Williams
- The father of Anna Williams and Nina Williams. Both of them blame each other for his death. He is from the Irish Mafia, and he had once trained his daughters in Aikido and Bone Martial Arts. He prefers Nina over Anna because he had seen the potential of Nina to bury her emotions and numb her thoughts. Anna was too soft and incapable of killing even the smallest bug. He only taught Nina the art of Assassination, sparking their rivalry. Anna learned her art by mixing the effective moves of people she had fought and beaten or had seen fighters obliterate their opponents with.
Richard appears in Nina's spin-off game Death by Degrees. He appears in a number of flashback cinematics, showing him with his daughters when they were children. This game depicts him being shot and killed protecting Nina. In the official canon of the games, it is said that he is killed after the first Tekken.
[edit] Other Entities/Organizations
These are not technically "characters" in the Tekken series, but are still corporate, government, or supernatural entities that remain important to the series.
[edit] The Devil Gene
- The mysterious genetic curse that afflicts anyone born of the Mishima bloodline and makes them hosts for evil entities called "Devils". Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, and possibly Jinpachi Mishima are currently afflicted with the Devil Gene.
[edit] G Corporation
- G Corporation, a cutting-edge biotech firm making revolutionary advances in the field of biogenetics research. It was the G Corporation that accidentally stumbled upon the remains of Kazuya Mishima during a routine research mission at Mt. Shirane, subsequently taking Kazuya's body to the G Corporation’s Nebraska research facility. After his resurrection, Kazuya offered his body as research material for genetic experimentation to investigate, determine and harness the true mechanism of the Devil that resided within his body.
- Heihachi Mishima had discovered that G Corporation found the remains of Kazuya, and had extracted and analyzed the genetic data. In fact, Heihachi learned that the G Corporation was in the midst of creating a new life form by using the data.
- Friday, December 25. The Tekken Force, sent in by Heihachi Mishima raided G Corporation’s maximum security research laboratory in Nepal. The bottom floors of the building were obliterated, and the remaining data storage facility containing file servers was airlifted by a group of heavy-duty helicopters. At the same time, a separate unit led by Heihachi himself, infiltrated the G Corporation underground research facility in Nebraska, where Kazuya’s remains were supposedly preserved. The operation in Nebraska failed, due to the unexpected intervention of Kazuya Mishima.[1]
- In light of the above noted events, the G Corporation, is believed to be the key suspect organization responsible for the assassination attempt upon Heihachi Mishima's life, as witnessed in Tekken 5.
- G Corporation is also the employer of "Jack" developer and engineer, Jane.
[edit] The Mishima Zaibatsu
- The company owned by the Mishima family. It is the main sponsor of the King of Iron Fist Tournaments. It encompanies the Mishima Financial Empire, Mishima Heavy Industries, and the Tekken Force. A recurring theme of the Tekken series is the constant change of ownership that occurs when the current owner is defeated or has died or has been considered dead. Thus far, Jinpachi Mishima, Heihachi Mishima, and Kazuya Mishima have all gained ownership this way.
[edit] Mishima High School
- This school is part of the Mishima Zaibatsu conglomerate, and it is attended by three characters in the game: Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, and Miharu Hirano.
