Raven

Story

The Mishima clan got too much power and became a real threat for the world. This danger could not be ignored, so the United Nation decided to act to try and keep the situation under their control.

The UN founded a new department, the Raven Unit. Its main purpose is to not let the Mishima Zaibatsu take the whole world into their hands. This massive task cannot be done by negotiations, and the Raven Unit has become a place for some of the strongest warriors. Raven is one of them.

He joined the Tekken story in the fifth game, right before the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. The Mishima Zaibatsu was mainly focused on their confrontation against G Corporation — and at some point they seemingly fell victim to these enemies. A huge explosion happened in Hon-Maru; the building was destroyed, and there was information that Heihachi Mishima may have been injured or even killed. Raven had to figure out what happened and what’s with the members of Mishima family.

Raven decided to join the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 and investigate who is behind this event if not Heihachi. It turned out that the explosion did not really hurt the legendary fighter, and Raven even had a chance to face Heihachi himself. But the UN did not want to lose their secret agent, so they called the guy back.

Sure, the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation could not be over after such aggressive steps. Raven still had his mission to stop the Mishima clan, and at some point, he decided to unite efforts with Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch. They got into the main tower of the Mishima Zaibatsu, hoping to fight  Jin Kazama, who was the leader at that point.

The fight against Jin wasn’t easy. Raven lost one of the teammates as Alisa turned out to be programmed by the enemy. With Lars on his side, Raven had quite a few challenging fights. But eventually, he figured out that even more training is needed to succeed against such powerful opponents.

Raven took his time to get properly prepared for the next battle. Will his fight ever end?

Personality

The guy is a secret agent, and this occupation strongly affects his personality. Raven rarely shows real emotions. Missions he gets from the Raven Unit are the most important for him, and he always does his best to succeed. 

The fights he takes are mainly business for Raven, nothing personal. Only when it happens for him to confront Sergei Dragunov, Raven lets his deep dislike be noticed. But beyond that, he is strictly professional. Does the role of a secret agent erased most of the personality like it erased info on Raven’s past?

Playstyle

Raven is ready to demonstrate results of his intense training in the matches of Tekken 8. He follows the path of ninjutsu and uses this fighting style to defeat opponents. 

The fighter is super quick, with effective close range tools and some impressive teleportation tricks. 

Appearance

The body of Raven nicely reflects the amount of effort this guy puts in his training. He is muscular, with quite a dedicated facial expression. The body language easily reveals Raven’s high level at martial arts. The guy has dark skin and white hair.
