He is the son of [[Marshall Law]]. They have the same fighting style and the same moves. Like his father, Forest is friends with [[Paul Phoenix]]. Although Forest does not participate in the fifth tournament, he plays a significant role as he is the reason for Marshall entering. During this time, Forest went for a joyride on Paul Phoenix's bike, despite his reservations against it, and ended up causing a major traffic accident. This is the reason why his father, Marshall, decides to enter the tournament in order to pay off the large sum of property damage and Forest's hospital bills that arose from the situation. His title in the original trilogy is '''Return of Flaming Dragon'''. '''Games in order of appearance:''' [[Tekken 3]], ''1998''. [[Tekken Tag Tournament]], ''2000''. [[Tekken Advance]], ''2001''.

The proud son of Marshall Law, Forest trains at his father's dojo to achieve Law's success and greatness. As a protective father, Marshall has forbidden his son from entering any contests outside the dojo. Marshall's long-time friend and competitor, Paul Phoenix, visits once every few months to spar with Marshall. One day when Paul arrived, Marshall was away supervising the building of a new dojo. Paul insisted that Forest join him in some training exercises. Forest declined knowing that his father would disapprove. But Paul wouldn't take no for an answer. Unaware of Marshall's restrictions on fighting, Paul suggested to Forest that he join "The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3." Paul sold Forest on the idea by telling him he's a better fighter than his father. Forest knew his father would be angry, but he had to prove that he was worthy of one day inheriting the dojo. Marshall was enraged when he found out what happened. To him, it was as if his son had been kidnapped. :'''Ending, ''"Middle Age"''''' ''(Unofficial Synopsis)'' :Paul and Forest arrive at Marshall's Dojo on Paul's motorcycle. Paul and Forest walk into the building and meet Marshall Law. They walk in and bow their heads slightly. Marshall looks angry. Marshall points behind himself with one of his thumbs. Paul, Marshall, and Forest are then seen stretching. Then, Forest wants to teach Marshall and Paul a suicide kip-up. A noise can then be heard. Marshall is shown laying on the floor on his stomach, and Paul is shown sitting on the ground. They did not successfully do the suicide kip-up. Forest shrugs.

The rumor was based on a man, wearing attire similar to one of Forest's outfits, was seen lying on the ground in Lili's Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection prologue. *Forest Law appeared in a TV commercial, aired in the year 2000 by the Swiss Milk Producers Association, where he fought and lost against their cow mascot, Lovely. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nceIYNlgso8]). *Forest rivals in ''[[Tekken Card Challenge]]'' are [[Mokujin]], Paul Phoenix and [[Hwoarang]]. *Forest, or a person strongly resembling him, appears in the [[Rustic Asia]] stage of ''[[Tekken 6]]''. He drives the truck that crashes into the stage before every fight ([http://www.tekkenpedia.com/Image:Marshall_Law_versus_Hwoarang_-_Tekken_6.jpg]). *Because of Marshall's appearance in Tekken 6 (clean shaven, no chest scars, and younger-looking face), many assumed him to be Forest Law making his return to the series as a playable character. *Forest is one of two characters in the series to be replaced by the fighter he was the successor to, with the other being [[Combot]]. *For some reason, starting with Tekken 5, Namco decided to start spelling Forest as Forrest. * While it is often speculated that Forest Law is a homage to ''Brandon Lee'' (who is Bruce Lee's son); Forest Law bares little resemble to Brandon whatsoever. It is likely that Forest Law just another homage to Bruce Lee (as he (Forest) was intended to permanently replace ''his father'' (Marshall) in the Tekken series.) == [[Character Relationships]] == *Son of [[Marshall Law]] and [[Mrs. Law]]. *Friend and training partner of [[Paul Phoenix]].
