Introduction

King's mentor and companion. Part of a Mexican tribe who carries around the Jaguar masks that both King and Armor King wear. Armor King's fake eye has been bleeding since he left his jaguar tribe. He was once the enemy of the first King, but eventually they became very close friends. Though, unfortunately, between the 3rd and 4th tournament, Craig Marduk started a bar brawl in Arizona and Armor King was killed. However, Armor King appears in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Whether this is the same Armor King, or a successor like the second King, is currently unknown as no story has been released.

Story

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection

Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Armor King.

"The mysterious masked wrestler, Armor King.... Just who is behind the steel armor and black jaguar mask and what do they seek? The answer is veiled in mystery." That is all that is said about him in his Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection prologue. However, the game suggests that it might be THE Armor King who makes an appearance in the game. Although there is no mention of him being the original Armor King, his storyline has him fighting Craig Marduk, Armor King's supposed murderer, at Stage Four. A possibility is that the new Armor King is a successor of the original, well aware of Armor King's past history and with an agenda of avenging his teacher's death.

Years later, King was attacked and killed by Ogre. However, a new King, King 2nd, emerges. Armor King begins to train King II how to use the enchanted mask and to use it against Ogre.

Tekken 2

Tekken 2 Armor King.

Unfortunately, King's attempt at winning the tournament and the cash prize ended in a failure. Soon after, King chose the path of a drunkard, stopped entering wrestling tournaments and disappeared for large amounts of time. King felt as if he did not deserve to own the powers of the enchanted jaguar mask.

Armor King became worried for his friend/rival and intervened just in time as King was at the edge of a breakdown. He eventually finds King drunk in an alley. Armor King threw the enchanted jaguar mask at his feet and told King of the 2nd Iron Fist tournament and his second chance at building the orphanage of his dreams.

With that said, King came to his senses and began a furious training regime.
