Introduction

His second outfit consists of brown shoes, white pants, a dark gray jacket with a large white design on the top part and an extended collar, and red gloves. Also, Lars has a mobile phone that he talks into, and he speaks Japanese. Lars' tagline is "The one who betrayed his own in order to build a new era." ([3]). The Mishima Zaibatsu started a war against the world. The rise of the G Corporation opposition resulted in a global trail of carnage. In the fray, a large portion of the Zaibatsu's special military unit, the Tekken Force, defected from the organization. Lars Alexandersson led the coup d'état and became a ranking officer in the Tekken Force at a fairly young age due, in part, to his renowned physical and mental ability. Despite this high rank, Lars often fought on the front lines, which made him quite popular among his subordinates. Only he knew the fact that he drew the Mishima bloodline through his father, Heihachi Mishima. Even Heihachi was not aware of this piece of information. Lars is also the biological half-brother of Kazuya Mishima and adopted brother of Lee Chaolan, the grandson of Jinpachi Mishima and the half-uncle of Jin Kazama.
Lars, has a heroic personality as he led the coup d'etat into defeating the Mishima Zaibatsu, he has the fighting spirit and determination of his half-nephew, Jin Kazama, he also has the charisma of his adopted half-brother Lee, he is the complete opposite to Heihachi and Kazuya in terms of personality.

- Lars, in recent times, has a meme of his own starting at Tekken Tag Tournament 2's release which was "#BuffLars". The main spawning of this meme occurred when some of Lars' command list had been examined, and many of his key moves from Tekken 6: BR had been nerfed (Reduced range, tracking, etc). This led to a surge of fans and players jokingly requesting for Lars to be buffed to absurd levels in future installments.
