Introduction

Armor King (in British: Armour King) is a character in the Tekken fighting game series. Armor King has been in Tekken, Tekken 2, and Tekken Tag Tournament. After his death prior to the events of Tekken 4 at the hands of Marduk, his younger brother joined the tournament to exact revenge on Armor King's killer.

Armor King was once the enemy of King I, but, eventually, they became very close friends. Armor King is King II's mentor and companion. He is part of a Mexican tribe who carries around the Jaguar masks that both King and Armor King wear. Armor King's left eye has been colored red ever since he left his jaguar tribe. Unfortunately, between the third and fourth tournament, Craig Marduk started a bar brawl in Arizona, and Armor King was killed.

Story

Armor King has traveled from one wrestling ring to another in search of a worthy opponent. He met his match in a Mexican village. They became bitter rivals for many years to come. Years ago, during a match, King made a mistake and smashed one of Armor King's eyes. Afterwards, King bathed in the spotlight of the Pro Wrestling World while Armor King went down the opposite road.

Unfortunately, a child died in King's arms after his orphanage was built. Soon after, King chose the path of a drunkard, stopped entering wrestling tournaments, and disappeared for large amounts of time. King felt as if he did not deserve to own the powers of the enchanted jaguar mask.

Armor King became worried for his friend / rival and intervened just in time, as King was at the edge of a breakdown. He eventually finds King drunk in an alley. Armor King threw the enchanted jaguar mask at his feet, and he told King of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and his second chance at getting back up on his feet.

With that said, King came to his senses and began a furious training regime.

Ending Animation "Locker Room"

Lines that represent a heart beating and some x-rays are shown. Also, a ticking sound can be heard. The camera zooms in on Armor King. Armor King is sitting on a bench in a room. There are some lockers behind him. Armor King watches a drop of water drip from a sink faucet. Then, Armor King gets up and starts to walk out of the room. Suddenly, his eyesight starts failing and he stumbles, almost falling to the ground. Some drops of blood fall from Armor King's red eye. A few seconds later, Armor King gets back up and walks out of the room. Some applause and a cheering crowd can be heard as Armor King leaves the room.

Tekken 3

Years later, the first King was attacked and supposedly killed by Ogre. However, a second King replaced the first one since Tekken 3. Armor King begins to teach the second King how to fight, and to use the enchanted mask against Ogre.

Armor King is a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament. However, Tekken Tag Tournament is not a part of the Tekken series' canonical storyline. This is Armor King's last appearance as a playable character in a Tekken game.

Ending Animation

Armor King and King fight. They appear to be evenly matched, but Armor King emerges as the victor. After being defeated, King looks up at Armor King, who has his arms crossed. Then, King pounds the ground in frustration with one of his fists. This ending takes place in King's stage.

Tekken 4

A man named Craig Marduk started a bar brawl in Arizona, and he killed Armor King during it. His successor brother takes his place and defeats Marduk in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
