Eddy Gordo


Story

Eddy was born in one of the most wealthy families in Brazil. As a successor of his father's enterprise, Eddy was an excellent student pursuing his studies in the area of monarchism; he was famous for his diligentness, and the gentle characteristic in his native city.

At the age of 19, one day after school, Eddy found his father dying in blood. His father told him that a syndicate had attempted to kill him. He had planned to eliminate drug syndicates that spoil the country. Getting information enough to prosecute the syndicate, and being so close to putting his plan into action, he was attacked by them. His last words to his son were "it's not the right time to fight now. Take the guilt of homicide and hide yourself in the prison."

Fallen from an excellent student, he was imprisoned as a criminal, a murderer. The life in the prison was practically a living hell. He cried every day at his powerlessness which eventually turned into a grudge against the syndicate that killed his father.

One day a riot arose in the prison,and Eddy saw an extraordinary incident. Fascinated by the power of an old man,Eddy went to the old man and asked what was the art he used. It was Capoeira. Obtaining power was his first priority, he thought. Then he was trained by the old man. 8 years had passed since his inprisonment. At the age of 27, Eddy's Capoeiristas had turned into the lethal weapon driven by his pledge to exert their revenge on the syndicate.

Released from the prison, he heard a rumor about "The King of Iron Fist Tournament," and noticed the existance of the Mishima Empire. Eddy thought of using the great power of the Mishima group, and get his revenge on the syndicate., Eddy, thus decided to attend the tournament.
