Terry Bogard

Terry comes from the fictitious town of Southtown Florida a setting for many SNK games and is the adoptive son of Jeff Bogard. During his childhood he witnessed the death of his father at the hands of Geese Howard. Terry chose to pursue his revenge at a later time. But unlike his brother Andy who left Southtown to train in Japan Terry chose to stay in his hometown combining the skills learned from his father with abilities gained from the streets. Many years later the crime lord Geese Howard organized a tournament dubbed The King of Fighters. Terry Andy and Muay Thai Kickboxing champion Joe Higashi would enter with the purpose of facing Geese. The battle that followed would eventually see Terry defeating Geese and for some time it was thought that Geese perished in the battle. The next year saw Geeses halfbrother Wolfgang Krauser take control of The King of Fighters and bringing the once Southtownonly tournament onto the world stage. The finals of this new tournament would again see Terry fighting the sponsor and him ultimately defeating Krauser. Some time later it was revealed that Geese had survived his encounter with Terry. The Bogards and friends learned of Geeses intentions to retrieve the legendary Jin scrolls Terry once again challenged and defeated him. Afterwards Geese fled. Terry had battled to the end of the tournament defeating characters such as Yamazaki until finally facing the Jin brothers. Standing now as the victor Terry once again was the Champion. However Geese had escaped and with the scrolls. During the next game Real Bout Fatal Fury Terry managed to get all the way through the tournament to Geese for one final conflict. At the end of the fight he knocked Geese off the edge of Geese Tower but grabbed hold of Geeses hand and tried to keep him from falling. But this was not to be as Geese knocked Terrys hand away plummeting to what is believed to be his permanent death. Sometime either before or after their final conflict Terry encountered a boy by the name of Rock Howard Geeses son. Taking him in he would teach him how to fight as they traveled together around the world. Source: Wikipedia
