Armor King also convinced him to go back to training for The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. Armor King saw how his friend's life was crumbling apart and convinced him to return to the orphanage in order to take care of the kids who were still in need of him. After a long and tiring day of finding clues as to where King would be, he found him in an alleyway behind a bar. Armor King worried about his rival, and went in search of him. Depressed and enraged, King threw away his jaguar mask and ran away. Nonetheless, he emerged the victor and in the end, managed to get third place, winning enough prize money for the orphanage.Īfter winning 3rd place in the tournament, an orphan died within King' s care. King entered the tournament, but accidentally damaged Armor King's eye during their fight. With the little money he had, King decided to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament in the hopes of winning the prize money. King I, the friendly rival of Armor King, was in need of money to fund the orphanage that he was taking care of. By this time, the now 28-year-old wrestler was a worthy heir to the throne. For four years, the two of them trained, and the new King learned quickly, maturing into a forceful wrestler with extreme power, known as King II. This man revealed himself to be Armor King, who was interested in finding out if the rumors of a new King were true. One day, however, another man with a mask visited the new King, introducing himself as an old friend. Unfortunately, he had only seen King's wrestling moves as a child, and he lost every competition he entered. Seeing that the orphanage would crumble into ruin (the money gained from King's wrestling matches was the only funding received), this man donned the mask of King and imitated his style. Until the age of 24, this person worked hard with King until one day, news broke of the first King's death at the hands of Ogre. The second King was a street urchin who was brought up in the first King's orphanage. He then became a man with a mission he dreamed of building an orphanage for street children, hoping to save them from becoming the kind of fighter he used to be. He became a Catholic priest and renounced his old fighting ways. After recovering, King realized the error of his ways and resolved to start a new life. The Marquez priests saved him from death. In one of his fights, King was grievously wounded and collapsed in front of a monastery. The first King used to be a street brawling orphan with no care in the world except fighting.
