Biography[]
Tekken 7[]
Once lauded as his country’s greatest hero, Fahkumram was a legendary Muay Thai fighter, unparalleled in his field. Showing remarkable talent for the martial art from an early age, he was marked as a future champion until suffering the terrible misfortune of being struck by lightning at the tender age of 12. After spending days on the brink of death, he managed to make a miraculous recovery, eventually developing a mighty physique and growing to over two meters tall. Combining his tremendous physical strength and technical mastery with a clever tactical brain, he became Muay Thai champion by the time he was 18. Brushing aside all competition, he was feted as a national hero. On the personal front, he married at the height of his popularity, and was soon blessed with a daughter.
At the age of 24, however, his life was to take a dramatic turn for the worse. Approached by a group of unknown men and offered a massive sum to throw his next bout, he was subsequently threatened with physical harm if he failed to comply. With no intention of succumbing to such corruption, Fahkumram knocked out his opponent with a single blow shortly after the gong. Incensed, the match-fixing gang attacked Fahkumram and tried to murder him, but Fahkumram proved too strong, and managed to kill several of his would-be assassins.
Arrested on the spot once the police arrived, Fahkumram tried to assert self-defense, but as corrupt policemen and soldiers made up part of the group which had approached him, he was arrested and held by the military in a secure location. His wife and daughter were subsequently taken hostage, after which Fahkumram was given no choice but to act in accordance with the instructions of his captors, participating in secret underground martial arts competitions and show-fights against tigers and other wild animals. Unable to see a way out, Fahkumram became more and more desperate and disillusioned, and gradually lost himself in more extreme acts of violence and rage.
Four years later, with the world embroiled in the battle between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation, the military forces controlling Fahkumram determined that the Mishima Zaibatsu posed a threat to the nation, and dispatched Fahkumram on a new mission. His task was to represent his country at The King of Iron Fist Tournament and claim victory there. With the promise that depending on the results he achieved, his family may be even set free, Fahkumram entered the fray, determined to win liberty for him and his family once and for all.
Tekken 8[]
Unfortunately for Fahkumram, however, his official orders from the military to enter the 7th tournament never arrived. Instead, he was shocked to discover he had suddenly been assigned to the Southeast Asia and Oceania sector, without any warning. Looking into the matter further revealed the truth: the corrupt officials who had been holding him as their prisoner had been taking bribes from the Mishima Zaibatsu, and they had reassigned him there in order to continue their war profiteering. Realizing that they only intended to keep his family alive so long as he could continue their greedy ambitions causes Fahkumram to finally snap, declaring that he'll become the incarnation of a Garuda if it means saving his family. Disgusted with his captors and with nothing holding him back, Fahkumram will now kill anyone who gets in the way of his family's safety, and heads into the war between the resistance and G Corporation ready to carve a bloody swath of fury the likes of which has never been seen before.
Abilities[]
Fahkumram fights using Muay Thai, a combat sport renowned for its additional usage of knees and elbows for striking alongside punches and kicks. Unlike other styles, Muay Thai also holds an emphasis on clinching in order to control the fight and expose the opponent to knee or elbow strikes. It also, in regards to kicks, focuses almost solely on striking opponents using the shins and not the feet.
Unlike fellow practitioner Bruce Irvin, Fakhumram's style of Muay Thai is strictly traditional and more akin to the older Muay Boran which has several different forms and patterns compared to its modern counterpart. As such, his style of fighting could be classified as 'pure' Muay Thai, unlike Bruce's more Westernized version.
