[edit] History
[edit] Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion
As the Mishima Zaibatsu waged war on the world, its soldiers, the Tekken Force, began a worldwide coup d'etat. G-Corporation, led by Kazuya Mishima, rose to power and was their main opposition, leading to worldwide conflict. The mastermind behind this coup d'etat was Lars Alexandersson, a young, charismatic Tekken Force officer with incredible physical ability and intellect. Most importantly, he is the son of Heihachi Mishima, and no one, except for Lars himself, knows this. Not even Heihachi himself.
Tekken 6: Campaign Scenario
Lars Alexandersson forms a rebellion against the G-Corporation which is led by Kazuya Mishima. The rebellion is formed by himself and the Tekken Force. While infiltrating a past Mishima Zaibatsu lab, Lars uncovers a glass-like tube that reveals an unknown girl. Though he is explained by allies that it is Alisa Bosconovitch, who is meant to be the deceased daughter of Dr. Bosconovitch, Lars still finds it hard to believe. Afterwards, he is knocked unconscious by impending Jacks and wakes up with amnesia. While Lars is consumed by the confusion on who he is and why he is here, Alisa protects him from Jacks after emerging from the glass tube and destroying the Jacks by chainsaws that emit from her hands. Also shocked by the unusual girl's fighting abilities, Lars asks who she is, but she doesn't reply as a Jack attacks her. Lars then protects her instinctively, and they both escape. It is only until then that Alisa suggests that Lars has amnesia, and the both form a bond.
Lars then continues his rebellion against the G-Corporation and the Mishima Zaibatsu. Alisa trails with him though she is doubted by many such as Wang Jinrei. Wang Jinrei leaves a comment saying, "Remember that that girl was made in a lab that was previously in possession of the Mishima Zaibatsu. She could be dangerous." Lars keeps this in his mind through their travels, but he finds himself unable to dispose of her as he is kind-hearted unlike his many relatives.
Afterwards, Lars searches after Heihachi Mishima, which he has discovered as his father. The two fly off at each other, but Alisa intervenes as Lars holds Heihachi at gunpoint, telling Lars that he "shouldn't kill his father." Heihachi, by this time, already knows Lars as his son, but takes it indifferently. Lars leaves Heihachi after obtaining a message that he wanted to retrieve from Heihachi by an ally.
The two then infiltrate the grounds of Jin Kazama, but to Lars' dismay and perplexity, Jin activates Alisa's body and turns her "bad." Lars then finds out that she was made to protect Jin, and Jin walks off saying to Lars: "If you have it in you to defeat her, then you and I will be ready to talk." At first, Lars thinks he can, but then he is amazed and surprised to find out that he simply cannot when he should be able to. The both emerge in a fight, but Lars is unable to kill Alisa and leaves her injured. He approaches her, seeing her eyes as green (as they are normally red when controlled by Jin Kazama), and motions his hand towards her. This is the signature of their relationship, a simple hand grasp. But just as Alisa touches Lars' hand, she turns evil again, and flees.
Lars goes after Jin, alone this time, for a final battle, in front of Azazel's chamber in the desert. But yet again, the two are intervened by Alisa used in protection for Jin. Lars is enraged once again and repeatedly yells to her, "Don't you remember me? It's Lars!" but she is unable to recognize him. While being thrown to the floor by her, Raven appears, protecting Lars in turn. Lars and Alisa then begin their fight once again as he knows he has no other choice.
This time, rather poignantly, Lars kills Alisa. In the last moments before her death, she whispers brokenly, "It was wonderful travelling with you... I wish it could've lasted longer. You made me feel like a human...it was nice..." Lars watches emotionlessly, though it is implied that he is being affected greatly. She finished by, "System Shutdown," and she passes away. Stepping back onto his feet, the anger starts to swell up onto Lars' face, and is increased when Jin speaks, "Good riddance to a useless piece of junk." Lars' fists clench, and this doesn't go unnoticed to Jin, and he then questions, "What? Don't tell me you fell in love with it?"
Though Lars does not reply to the question, it can be argued that he certainly does, even though he is human and she is a robot. Lars gets composed, however, and continues to fight him with his anger and animosity. Nevertheless, the fight has no result and Jin leaves Lars, walking up to Azazel and taking the beast down with himself. Lars runs after Jin when Jin and Azazel fall down a deep pit, showing Lars' inner care amongst all of the wrath.
After the whole encounter, Alisa is shown being rejuvenated in a lab by Lee Chaolan, by Lars' only request.

[edit] Personality
Lars is very different from the usual Mishimas. He is more warm-hearted and military disciplined than his father, brother, and nephew. Lars is also not as fierce and vengeful when engaged in battle, and though he normally acts serious and on-track, the end of his fights depend on what he really feels and his sense of righteousness.
