KOF XV: Fighter's Biography

Team Garou

A trio of both seasoned and new fighters originating from Second South Town, South Town's twin city. They shall make their Mark of the Wolves!

Rock Howard

A rather popular fighter among the youth audience, Rock Howard is easily distinguished by his red and white jacket. Though he's the son of the fearsome Geese Howard, this young fighter with a complicated past was raised by Terry Bogard. According to Terry, Rock's mother passed away when he was an infant, and since Geese didn't even bother to raise him, Rock disowned him ever since. A mighty prodigy when it comes to fighting, Rock has learned to utilize fighting styles passed down from both his fathers. For a long time, Rock has dreamt of joining KOF with Terry, but his adopted father doesn't think he's ready for it. Unexpectedly, an old comrade named B. Jenet convinces him to join Team Garou this KOF. Now, Rock is ready to fight in the most prestigious tournament of all!

Fun fact: Due to his upbringing, Rock Howard rarely interacts with women. He gets really uncomfortable whenever he talks to a girl, often stuttering or sweating coldly like an awkward shut-in. To make matters worse for him, Rock is considered a celebrity to many teen girls. Whenever he tries to go out somewhere, more often than not it ends up with him either ineptly talking to female fans or fleeing from their grasps. Mai has offered herself to help Rock get over his fear of women, but...knowing Mai, it might not end up well...

Gato

This cold and calculated master-class fighter always strays away from the pack. An introverted man, Gato rarely interacts with other people. He fights with both great strength and precision; it comes naturally to him as a kung fu warrior. Gato set out for vengeance after his mother died at the hands of his father. Though he wishes to go his own way, B. Jenet was able to convince him to join the team as she has some intel on his father's whereabouts.

Fun fact: If you think guys like K' and Iori don't have the best interviews, man you haven't seen Gato's. The dude answered no questions before telling the interviewer to, quote-unquote, sod off. He even wrecked the innocent backstage staff before marching silently away from the room. None dared to stop him, for his aura was too menancing to even the toughest security guard.

B.Jenet

The leader of a band of pirates known as the Lillien Knights, Bonne Jenet has traveled the world far and wide. She is the daughter of the Behrns, an influential international cartel. Bored of her luxurious yet tedious lifestyle, she ran away to form the Lillien Knights. A cheerful and confident girl, she likes to make her presence known. After the tumultuous events of the previous KOF, B. Jenet has her suspicions that the worst is not over yet and sets her sights on joining this KOF to see what's in store. To help her, she recruits the prodigy Rock Howard and the kung fu master Gato as Team Garou.

Fun fact: Despite being a lively girl, B. Jenet can also be quite the cranky jerk. Whenever someone annoys her, she instinctively smacks them in the face rapidly with her high heel. It's either a hilarious sight or a horrifying experience, no in-betweens. Latinos are often too scared to talk to her because B. Jenet's antics remind them of how their mother would scold them with a chancla (sandal in Spanish) when they were kids.
