History

Tekken 4

Craig Marduk's bio, according to official Tekken 4 story.

Standing at eight feet and as a Vale Tudo fighter, Craig Marduk was undefeated in four years as a professional. His fighting style was so savage that he had caused embarrassment to his own professional organisation on more than one occasion. When he was implicated in a minor scandal, his backers were only too glad to dump him.

Imprisoned in Arizona for a murder committed in a thirty-man bar brawl, Marduk was suddenly released thanks to the influence of an anonymous benefactor. On his release he received a mystery package containing a newspaper clipping about the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, and an airline ticket."

Unfortunately for Marduk, the man he had killed in the brawl was Armor King. Swearing revenge, Armor's protege King paid for Marduk's release using money he had earned in wrestling tournaments. He had also sent the newspaper clipping and airline ticket, so that he could exact revenge on Marduk when he entered the tournament.

The two met at the tournament, where King apparently hospitalised Marduk. King paid a visit to Marduk in the hospital to finish him off once and for all. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow, King noticed a photograph next to Marduk's bed. Upon inspecting the photo, which was of Marduk and his elderly parents, King realised the foolishness of his desire for vengeance and walked away.

Tekken 5

Marduk entered the fifth Iron Fist tournament to get revenge on King after his defeat at the hands of the masked wrestler. Wearing Armor King's black jaguar mask, Marduk entered a Vale Tudo tournament and challenged King after emerging undefeated.
