Lei Wulong (Chinese: 雷武龍) is a character, as well as an hero in the Tekken series who was introduced in Tekken 2 and has returned for all subsequent games. Lei is very laid back with a casual attitude. He is one of the comedy relief of the Tekken cast and is constantly cracking jokes. Although comedic, Lei is very dedicated at his job as an Interpol Police officer.
Lei's fighting style is 5-form animal kung fu which includes the crane, snake, panther, dragon and tiger styles. He also uses the kung fu form Zuiquan (醉拳) which is literally drunken fist.
Personality[]
A man who lives for his job. Dedicated to the point of obsession, Lei is a law-abiding and gifted cop. Lei is a workaholic, who becomes fixated on his cases and on tenaciously seeing them through to the end at all costs. In the past, this has earned him a reputation as a 'supercop' and the best detective in the agency, but it has also destroyed some of his relationships, most noticably with his girlfriend. Despite this, Lei's solution has always been to throw himself back into his work. Whilst Lei usually works large cases related to international crime syndicates, he is also a stickler for the rules and goes out of his way to prevent minor crimes from happening in his vicinity, with some of his endings depicting him stopping street thieves or handing out parking tickets.
Lei is fair-minded and amicable to those around him (unless they break the law), and has a good sense of humour. In his Tekken 5 interludes, he is shown treating his acquaintances (such as Wang Jinrei and Steve Fox) with respect. For his enemies however, he mantains a stern and direct approach to their arrest. Although his attempts can sometimes be clumsy, Lei's intentions are always virtuous in nature.
Abilities[]
Although comedic, Lei is very dedicated to what operations are at hand. This has earned him his nickname "Super Cop" due to his ability to catch criminals. Though he is a skilled fighter on his own, Lei has shown to be an accurate shooter with small arms as shown in his Tekken 2 and 4 endings and Bryan's Tekken Tag ending. Likewise, he is trained in the Five Animal martial arts (tiger, crane, leopard, snake and dragon).
Story[]
Lei Wulong was the Hong Kong International Police Force’s number one detective. Prior to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Lei’s partner was killed when a fight involving himself and a contract killer targeting Bruce Irvin broke out on a plane, causing it to crash. Lei picked up where his partner left off on their investigation into the International Mafia’s money laundering activities and discovered that the organization had connections to Kazuya Mishima of the Mishima Zaibatsu, even deploying an accountant to deliver documents to Kazuya on the doomed plane Lei's partner was killed on.
Lei entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 to confront Kazuya about the Zaibatsu’s Mafia connections. During the tournament, he defeated Bruce, who had been taken in by the Mishima Zaibatsu. After the tournament, Bruce was involved in another plane crash reported to have killed all onboard; however, Lei suspected that the Mishima Zaibatsu had staged the supposed accident, and that Bruce had survived. He did not investigate the matter further, instead returning to his usual work.
Lei was placed on an investigation into the Hong Kong drug trade, during which time he discovered that an International Police Organization officer, Bryan Fury, had connections with drug dealers.
More than a decade and a half after the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Lei was investigating the mysterious disappearances of martial artists across the world. During his investigations, Lei was visited by Heihachi Mishima, who had regained control of the Mishima Zaibatsu at the close of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. Heihachi asked Lei to participate in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Lei was unsure why Heihachi had sought him out, but attended the tournament nonetheless.
Following the tournament, Lei returned to work once more. His girlfriend dumped him, unable to bear his workaholic lifestyle, and entered a relationship with his assistant instead. Lei became depressed by the circumstances, and botched a two-years-in-the-making operation to bring a crime syndicate to justice around the same time. Lei’s rivals in the force secretly told his superiors that his failure was the result of him allowing personal matters to affect his work. Lei was suspended for a month.
During his suspension, Lei learned from an informant that the crime syndicate were planning to hire an assassin to kill Steve Fox, a boxer, at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Lei entered in the hopes of thwarting the operation and regaining his honor. He arrested several members of the crime syndicate at the close of the tournament, and was also able to help Steve find documents linking his origin to Mishima Zaibatsu experiments.
Lei recommenced his work, and began investigating an individual responsible for destroying dojos across China. After hearing of similar crimes being committed in Japan, Lei traveled to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, suspecting that the culprit, Feng Wei, would make an appearance there.
Despite his efforts, Lei was unable to apprehend Feng. Before he could continue his search, he was called to suppress disturbances across the world. Soon, the world entered all-out war, instigated by the Mishima Zaibatsu under Jin Kazama’s rule. Lei infiltrated the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 to apprehend Jin. Lei also conducted an investigation into the Mishima Zaibatsu's rivals, G Corporation, around this time, and was subsequently targeted by G Corp forces. Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch were able to prevent G Corporation forces from harming or capturing Lei. Lei shared information regarding Kazuya Mishima’s brutal ascension through the ranks of G Corporation with the pair.
Lei ultimately failed to arrest Jin Kazama. His confidence was badly affected, and he took an extended leave of absence, disappearing from the public eye. Over the course of his break, Lei became a big fan of the idol Lucky Chloe.
As the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation intensified, Lei became aware of information being circulated claiming that Kazuya was a devil. To discover the truth, Lei resolved to take action and contact Kazuya. He also learned that Lucky Chloe was performing marketing duties as the public face of G Corporation. He secretly hoped he would be able to meet her if all went well.
