Biography

Lars is the leader of the rebel army Yggdrasil and the illegitimate son of Heihachi Mishima; although Lars has known the identity of his father for some time, Heihachi was unaware of Lars' connection to him for many years. Lars became a high-ranking officer in the Tekken Force, the Mishima Zaibatsu's special military unit, at a young age. Despite his high rank, Lars regularly fought on the front lines with his subordinates, earning their respect. When Jin Kazama took over the Mishima Zaibatsu following the 5th King of Iron Fist Tournament, the Tekken Force was deployed to start war across the world. Lars began to harbor doubts about how justified the Tekken Force's actions were and eventually led the defection of half of the Tekken Force's soldiers from the Mishima Zaibatsu. From these defectors, Lars established a rebel army to oppose the Mishima Zaibatsu. During a raid by the rebel army on a Mishima Zaibatsu laboratory, Lars encountered an android resembling a young woman. Before Lars could investigate further, a battalion of G Corporation Jack robots arrived and attacked. One of them detonated, causing an explosion that killed everyone present except Lars and the android, who identified herself to Lars as Alisa Bosconovitch. Lars escaped the crumbling facility with Alisa, though the trauma of the explosion caused Lars to lose his memory. He and Alisa set off together in the hopes that Lars would regain his memory and discover Alisa's origins.

During his journey with Alisa, Lars met with his lieutenant, Tougou, though Lars had no complete recollection of him. Tougou told Lars to seek out Heihachi Mishima, as Lars had previously mentioned "the need to meet with him." Furthermore, Tougou provided Lars with the means to contact him when he was ready to resume command of his forces. Eventually, Lars and Alisa received a lead on Heihachi Mishima. After fighting off the Secret Service guarding Heihachi's residence, Lars confronted Heihachi. He defeated Heihachi and his memory returned to him, leading him to remember Heihachi's connection to him. After revealing the nature of his relationship with Heihachi, Lars pointed a gun at him and despite Alisa pleading with him not to, he pulled the trigger. Heihachi caught the bullet with his teeth and was unharmed. Before Lars could do anything else, he received a call from Tougou about an operation. Lars relented and left Heihachi Mishima's residence before continuing the confrontation. Later, Lars came into contact with Lee Chaolan, who had information regarding the Mishima Zaibatsu and the G Corporation. Lee offered to join forces with Lars, but Lars refused. Before they parted ways, Lee received a distress call from Julia Chang, who had been spying on the G Corporation for him. Lee asked Lars and Alisa to rescue Julia from the G Corporation, which they succeeded in doing.

With his memory restored, Lars set out to regroup with Tougou and assume his leadership position in the rebel army. They regrouped and enacted Operation Gemini: a dual attack on a Mishima Zaibatsu base and a G Corporation base. Following the success of the operation, they advanced to attack the G Corporation's main headquarters, the Millennium Tower. At the building's main entrance, Lars and Alisa confronted Anna Williams and a squad of G Corporation soldiers. Tougou and his men arrived to provide support, though Tougou was visibly injured. With the G Corporation soldiers engaged with the rebel army, Lars and Alisa were able to pursue and defeat Anna Williams. Kazuya Mishima, the shadow leader of the G Corporation, also emerged, but Lars and Alisa were unsuccessful in stopping him. Lars and Alisa left the tower to discover that several members of Lars' rebel army had been killed and that Tougou was mortally wounded. He died shortly after Lars caught up to him. Lars was devastated by his loss. Unbeknownst to Lars and Alisa, Raven was covertly watching them. Lars and Alisa hijacked a Zaibatsu subway train to reach the Mishima Zaibatsu Central Tower. Upon reaching the tower, the two were confronted by the robotic weapon NANCY-MI847J. Raven suddenly appeared and stopped NANCY-MI847J, telling Lars and Alisa to go ahead and confront Jin.

Nina Williams, Jin Kazama's bodyguard, attempted to thwart Lars and Alisa's infiltration, but was defeated by them. Jin emerged and he and Lars fought, though neither was able to defeat the other. Jin went to leave, but not before instructing Alisa to "deactivate safe mode and then reboot." Alisa became hostile towards Lars and seemed to have lost her memories of their time together. Jin revealed that Alisa was created to serve him and that he had been using her to monitor Lars' actions throughout their time together. Jin gave Alisa the order to kill Lars and left the tower while Lars was forced to fight her. Lars managed to defeat Alisa, causing her to flee the tower. Raven reappeared and told Lars that she knew where Jin was headed next. Lars decided to go with him to confront Jin again. Lars and Raven located an abandoned temple in the middle of the desert, said to be the home of the demon known as Azazel, or the Rectifier. Inside the temple, Lars and Raven found and confronted Kazuya once again. At the end of the fight, Kazuya realized that Lars was his half-brother. Before retreating from the temple, Kazuya warned Lars that "the fate of his family was to fight and betray each other" and that he would not be able to escape this cycle. Advancing into the heart of the temple, Lars and Raven located Azazel. Lars fought him and seemed to succeed in exhausting Azazel. Azazel told Lars that the time had come to make humanity atone for its collective sins; however, he then seemed to self-destruct in a sustained burst of blinding light.

Lars and Raven fled the temple as it collapsed. Once outside, they were confronted again by Jin, who once again attacked Alisa, forcing them to fight her. Upon being defeated, she reverted to her old self. Before closing, she expressed that it was nice that Lars treated her like a "real person". Jin mocked Lars' emotional response to Alisa's death and mocked her as "a worthless piece of trash". Furious, Lars engaged Jin in another fight. Lars defeated Jin, and Jin eventually revealed that his true motivations were to destroy Azazel after awakening him. Lars told Jin that he had already destroyed Azazel; however, Azazel emerged from the ground moments later in a golden form. Jin pierced the demon's chest with a single blow, and they both fell from the ground into the depths of the temple. Lars regrouped with Raven to leave the desert. They took Alisa to Violet Systems, where Lee promised to fix her as a favor to her and Lars in rescuing Julia. Lars then traveled alone to the Middle East, having received information that Jin Kazama had survived his encounter with Azazel and was now wandering the desert after escaping UN custody. He tracked Jin down in a town and fought off UN soldiers seeking to apprehend Kazama before leaving with Jin in tow. He took Jin to a secure Violet Systems facility that Lee had lent to Yggdrasil's cause. By this time, Jin had entered a comatose state, and his confrontation with Azazel had taken its toll. Lars reunited with Lee at the facility, as well as Alisa, whose memory had been restored thanks to Lee's efforts.

The Mishima Zaibatsu forces, again under the control of Heihachi Mishima and led by Nina Williams, soon infiltrated the Violet Systems facility in an attempt to capture Jin. Lars, Alisa, and Lee fought them off and successfully transported Jin to a different Violet Systems facility. There, Lars met a journalist who was investigating the history of the Mishima family. The journalist held a grudge against Jin from his time as the leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu and planned to kill him while he was incapacitated; Lars intervened before the journalist could make his attempt, acknowledging his hatred of Jin but telling him that Jin was the key to ending the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation. The Mishima Zaibatsu eventually lost to the G Corporation and Kazuya Mishima assumed control of the world. Despite his victory, he continued to wage war. Lars consolidated his rebel army, amassed additional military strength, and began preparations for Operation Lightning, a plan to defeat Kazuya and bring peace to the world. Jin awoke from his coma months after entering and reunited with Lars, Alisa, and Lee. Lars told Jin that he was the only one who could stop the war, which Jin acknowledged and stated his intention to use his powers to kill Kazuya.

Appearance

Lars has sandy brown hair and blue eyes, with his hair tied on the right side in spikes along his back. His facial features bear some resemblance to those of his father, Heihachi Mishima. He is usually shown wearing a full military outfit, with armor on one part of the suit shaped like a lion's head, either Tekken Force armor or modified Yggdrasil armor. He often wears a cape as well.

Personality

Lars is a charismatic individual, brave and with a strong sense of justice. When the Mishima Zaibatsu no longer aligned with what he believed was right, he led a coup against them. He is clearly a man of charisma and commands the respect of his peers as nearly half of the Tekken Force decided to join his rebel army during his insurrection. He has also been shown to have a short temper as he was quick to pull a gun on his father and attempt to shoot him during Tekken 6, and became enraged at Jin Kazama when the latter mocked him and pitted his friend, Alisa Bosconovitch, against him. Lars has been shown to present his emotions clearly, expressing anger and sadness in Tekken 6, especially over the loss of his lieutenant, Tougou, but is also shown to have the ability to put his personal feelings aside in order to do what is practical and necessary. In Tekken 7, he easily puts aside his previous alliance with Raven to retrieve Jin for his own purposes, and also puts aside his dislike for Jin, persuading the Journalist to do the same, as Jin is necessary for his plans.

Lars is self-reliant, initially treating others with suspicion, such as when Lee Chaolan first proposed an alliance with him, but will trust those who have proven to be loyal to him, such as Tougou, Alisa, and (later) Lee. While he is a strategist, he also relies on others to lead him, and often used to give command of his troops to Tougou so that he himself could fight on the front lines. Lars is a pragmatic soldier, and is not afraid to bring a gun to a fistfight if it serves his purpose. Lars also has a dry sense of humor, and will occasionally joke around with his friends or speak disdainfully to his enemies. However, when it comes to his cause and the war, he is serious and level-headed, preferring practicality over sentimentality.

History

The invading Tekken Force manage to airlift Jin's hospital bed in a helicopter, but Lee hijacks the helicopter carrying Jin and activates a bomb inside the building. Lars escapes with Alisa as Lars' army evacuates. Lee then destroys the facility while Nina is still trapped inside. Lars later questions if Lee's plan was to lure the Tekken Force into the building to defeat them. Later, Lee introduces Lars to an investigative journalist who is trying to uncover the truth about the Mishima Zaibatsu. While talking to Lee, Lars reveals that he intends to use Jin to stop the war, which shocks the journalist. Later, Lars finds the journalist preparing to kill Jin in revenge for starting the war, resulting in the journalist's family being one of the casualties. Though he understands how the journalist feels, Lars stops him from killing Jin and reaffirms that he believes Jin will be the key to ending the conflict.

A few days later, Lars, Lee, Alisa, and the reporter watch Heihachi's broadcast and Kazuya's devilish form, revealed during Kazuya's fight with Akuma. At night, Lars receives a call from the Mishima Zaibatsu, informing him to pick up the reporter at a dock after his interview with Heihachi. A few hours later, everyone watches via Lee's spy satellite as Heihachi and Kazuya fight one last time inside a volcano.

Fighting Style

According to Katsuhiro Harada, Lars' fighting style was not based on any real martial arts and is completely made up. His fighting style was officially listed as Karate in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. However, from Tekken 7 onwards, it is referred to as "Tekken Forces Martial Arts". Lars' fighting style closely resembles and was possibly inspired by Shorinji Kempo, a martial art that features quick attacks and fast, striking movements that include elements of go-ho (hard techniques such as punches, kicks, and other strikes) and ju-ho (soft techniques such as joint locks, grabs, and defenses).
