Balrog

バルログ

Vega (known as Balrog in the Japanese version) is one of the bosses in the Street Fighter fighting game series. Vega employs a unique fighting style that blends Ninjutsu with Bullfighting.
Vega was born into a noble family in Catalonia, Spain. As he matured, he studied Bullfighting, a cultural tradition among the nobility. Later, he traveled to Japan to learn Ninjutsu, a style he believed complemented his natural grace and agility. Upon returning home, Vega combined Bullfighting with Ninjutsu and entered an underground cage fighting circuit, where he quickly became one of the best. Tragedy struck one day when Vega witnessed the murder of his beautiful mother at the hands of his unattractive father. Her murder served as punishment for disrespecting him, as his father believed. Witnessing this tragic event warped Vega's mind, and from then on, he lived a double life: a suave nobleman by day and a narcissistic killer by night who enjoys mutilating ugly people to death using a three-pronged, wrist-mounted razor-sharp claw. His very first victim was his father.
Vega's brutal fighting skills and remorseless nature impressed the criminal leader known as M. Bison so much that Bison came to him personally with an offer to join Shadaloo. Vega accepted Bison's offer purely to improve his own aesthetic senses.
