Armor King is the former mentor of '' Tekken's '' recurring Character , King . He was once the enemy of the first King, but eventually they became very close friends. Armor King is killed later on in the ''Tekken'' story.


HISTORY



Tekken

Armor King is a member of a Mexican tribe who carries around the Jaguar masks that both King and Armor King wear. After a fateful meeting in which the original King was inducted into Armor King's tribe, Armor King challenged him to an battle of strength. While Armor King was clearly the superior fighter, the battle ended with King escaping and damaging his eye in process. However, near the beginning of the second tournament, the two set aside their differences and become great friends.


Tekken 2

Armor King travels from one wrestling ring to another searching for a worthy challenger. Armor King watched with interest at the 1st tournament as King's attempt to win the tournament (and the much needed cash prize), ended in failure. As King chose the path of the drunkard, Armor King saw a total change in his old rival as King no longer entered any wrestling tournaments and disappeared for long periods of time. Armor King became worried for his friend/rival and intervened just in time as King was at the edge of a breakdown. Finding King distraught and drunk in an alleyway, he convinces him to get back into the spirit of fighting and re-enter the tournament.

Meeting King at the tournament, he defeated him, despite the other fighter's resolve and new techniques. Telling him of his orphanage, he bids King to return to his foster children. However, King was killed in attack by Ogre . Seeing a new fighter step up to save the orphanage, Armor King trains him as the original's successor.


Tekken 3 - 4
