History[]

Zangief was born in the Soviet Union, now Russia, and has been at the center of its prideful enterprises for all his life. After dominating its professional wrestling circuit under the moniker of the "Red Cyclone", Zangief was sponsored by the Russian government on several global wrestling tours, as well as participation in the Street Fighter tournaments in order to showcase the power of Mother Russia. While a huge threat to other competitors at first, his involvement brought him close to Shadaloo and M. Bison. Knowing that their criminal activities pose a threat to Russia, Zangief allied with several other fighters in order to bring them down.

Personality[]

Zangief believes muscle power and physical strength is paramount, and is incredibly proud of his sculpted body. He is not subtle about fighting for the glory of Mother Russia, and holds western capitalism in contempt. His earliest appearances portrayed him as a borderline villain because of this, as he was willing to step into the ring with anyone and break them like a twig to show his (and his country's) power. When not travelling, Zangief is training to hone his skills further, often in the Russian wilderness.

His villainous reputation has mellowed over the years, and he has become much friendlier with fellow warriors during the fight against Shadaloo. While his ego remains high, he is willing to train other fighters so that they may perfect their own muscle power.
