Introduction
Eddy Gordo first appeared in Tekken 3, and he has returned to every game released after. In Tekken 4 and Tekken 5, he was merely a "costume" swap for Christie Monteiro. However, in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection onward, he is given his own character space.
For his debut in Tekken 3, Eddy entered in order to find his parents murderer. He was included in Tekken 4, and it was stated in Christie's epilogue that he still continued his search for his parents murderer. He did not have his own opening, character space, or ending, similar to Miharu Hirano. In Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Eddy, alongside Christie, tried to win the Tournament to gain access to the Mishima Zaibatsu's resources in order to save his master, Ho Chi Myong.
Eddy is generally calm and serious most of the time. Whenever he has his mind set on a goal, he will devote whatever skills he has to it such as avenging his parents and finding a cure for his dying master.
His title in the original trilogy is Avenger.

- Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Christie Monteiro has defeated Heihachi Mishima and won the tournament. The audience is cheering for her. People are walking up to her, taking photos of her and complimenting her about her victory. One man starts to interview her about her victory. Christie is very nonchalant throughout this. A man in a suit walks up to her, holding a golden trophy that is shaped like Heihachi's head. Two women are behind this man. Christie looks through the crowd and sees Eddy, who has a sling on one of his arms. Christie starts to run up to him while yelling, "Eddy!", twice. An echo of her saying this is heard after the second time she says it. Christie runs up to him and hugs him. Eddy hugs her with his other arm (the arm that doesn't have a sling around it). Christie says, "Eddy...", and then she closes her eyes and smiles.
Trivia
- Eddy's Stage 7 sub-boss is Kazuya Mishima.
- In Tekken 4, Eddy is selectable by pressing "Triangle" while on Christie at the "Character Select" screen.

- Stage 7 Kazuya Mishima: Eddy recognizes Kazuya as the the man who framed him for the murder of his parents. Kazuya then deducts that Eddy must be "the son of those rich Brazilians." Eddy threatens to kill Kazuya for what he did. After having won, Eddy calls out to his father, saying that he has finally avenged him, before proceeding with the tournament so that he can win money for his master's medical bills.
- Final Stage Jinpachi Mishima: Eddy walks through Final Stage 2. Jinpachi (in human form) walks up behind him and says, "I'm impressed that you've made it this far." (Eddy turns around upon hearing Jinpachi's voice) "I am Jinpachi Mishima. My goal... My goal is to destroy all existence!" After he finishes speaking, Jinpachi transforms into his "Devil" form.

The screen first shows an orphanage that was supposedly built by Eddy. He is seen inside the orphanage teaching the children Capoeira. Later Christie is seen getting off a train and later heads off. Eddy leaves the children and tells them that he has things to do. A child asks Eddy if he is out for the man that killed his father.

She later tries to chase him after giving the children the same advice Eddy had given them
Trivia
- He has a special tag throw with Christie or Tiger. He will perform Rodeo spin around the opponents head and when they're confused he slams them to the ground and then his partner will perform "Slippery Kicks" and whoever is tagged in will perform "Perch Flop Kick" on the opponent from there. (this also applies vice versa among the three characters.)
