History

The true origins of the Orochi fighter known as Chris are shrouded in mystery. He, along with Yashiro Nanakase and Shermie, entered the KOF 97' tournament. They formed the "New Face" team and proceeded to crush any and all challengers. Later on in the tournament, it was shown that he and his team members were three of Orochi's "Four Heavenly Kings", the first being Goenitz. Their plan for entering the tournament was to gather enough power to awaken the Orochi power from its 600 year slumber. After gathering enough energy, Shermie and the rest of the New Face Team poured it all into Chris, who uses it to make a startling transformation into the original Orochi--its essence had been instilled into Chris by Goenitz after Maki Kagura's death. However, the resurrection was interrupted by Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami. Kyo proceeds to engage the Orochi in battle, but is blown away by his phenomenal power. Iori Yagami, and later Chizuru Kagura reunite with him in the fight, and the tables begin to turn. Realizing his defeat was near, The Orochi used the last of his power to transform Iori into "Orochi Iori". Believing his transformation would turn him against his teammates, The Orochi chuckled in triumph... until Iori grabbed him instead. Now, holding the Orochi in place, Iori told Kyo to finish him off. Kyo did so, then Chizuru sealed the Orochi up. The Orochi fighters and Chris, however, were never seen again.
