[edit] Story
Sometime when Jin was fifteen, his mother warned him of an approaching evil (Ogre) and told him to seek refuge with his grandfather, Heihachi. Jin, wishing to protect his mother, tried to defend her from Ogre, but was knocked unconscious. When Jin awoke, he found his home burned to the ground and his mother was nowhere to be seen. It is unknown if Ogre actually killed Jun.
Jin fled to his grandfather, Heihachi, as Jun had previously instructed. Heihachi made the decision to train the boy to become a powerful fighter, giving Jin hopes of extracting revenge on Ogre. Heihachi's goal however, was to make Jin powerful enough to lure Ogre to him.
Many years after Heihachi had reclaimed control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, he formed the Tekken Force, his own military group. One of the missions of the Tekken Force was to search an ancient temple located somewhere in Mexico. Soon after arriving there, Heihachi learned that his entire force had been obliterated by The God of Fighting, Ogre. Heihachi, having witnessed the power of Ogre, sought to capture it in hopes of creating the ultimate life form.
Ogre attacked many world-renowned martial arts masters around the world. Notables were Baek Doo San, who he put in a coma, the original King and Jun Kazama, the mother of Jin Kazama. It is unknown if Kunimitsu was a victim of Ogre as she disappeared after the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2.
[edit] King of Iron Fist Tournament 3
Eventually, Heihachi announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 as a way to attract many powerful fighters. As planned, Ogre appeared at the tournament, but he was defeated by Paul Phoenix before Heihachi could capture him. Also, Jin, presumably having discovered Heihachi's sinister intentions for the tournament, defeated Heihachi. Unknown to them however, Ogre was not killed, and morphed into a monstrous beast by absorbing the energy of Heihachi.
Ogre's second form, True Ogre, was capable of using all of its techniques from his previous form as well as the abilities to teleport, fly, and breathe fire. Even in its more powerful state, Ogre was defeated by Jin, and a white orb of light emit from its body as it dissolved.
[edit] Before the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4
Some time before the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, Heihachi devised a new plan to make himself the ultimate warrior by using the genes of Ogre that were collected after the fight with Jin. However, he found out that Ogre's genome could only be integrated with the "Devil Gene", which Heihachi did not possess. He knew that Jin and the resurrected Kazuya did, so he announced The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 to lure both of them out.
[edit] After the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4
After Jin left the Hon-Maru during the final battle in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, he heard that his mother, Jun, was still alive at G Corporation. When Jin travelled to their labs, he found no trace of his mother, but instead discovered that G Corporation had either resurrected Ogre, or had simply discovered another Ogre. Beneath the labs were the remains of another ancient temple, where Jin battled True Ogre once again. Ogre fled to a deeper part of the ruins, and Jin followed it.
The deeper ruins are depicted as an other-worldly crystal-like labyrinth. The enemies Jin contended with were monsters and mutants, who were likely minions of Ogre or guardians of the ruins. After fighting through four stages of enemies, Jin encountered a giant contraption that uses a large white orb to attack. After Jin destroyed this, it was revealed that he unwillingly broke the seal containing Ogre.
Finally Jin battled True Ogre once again. Once it was defeated, it revealed yet another transformation. This form had new abilities to create giant whirlwinds and crush Jin under its large body, along with all of its previously used techniques.
Jin overcame Ogre and is attacked by Jack robots, causing him to transform into Devil Jin.
[edit] Trivia
- Even though Ogre only appeared as a playable character in two games (only one canon to the storyline), Ogre appears to have a big role in the other games as well.
