Lars Alexandersson

Lars Alexandersson (ラース・アレクサンダーソン Rāsu Arekusandāson?) is one of the main characters of the Tekken series since his first introduction in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion and is the main protagonist of that game and later one of the main protagonists in Tekken 7. He is the illegitimate child of Heihachi Mishima and an unknown Swedish mother and the leader of a rebel army splinter group from Tekken Force. Lars's tagline is "the one who betrayed his own in order to build a new era".

Appearance

Lars has sandy brown hair and blue eyes, with his hair sweeping up on the right side into spikes along the back. His facial features bear some resemblance to his father, Heihachi Mishima. He is usually shown wearing a full military body suit, with armor on some portion of the suit shaped like a lion's head - either Tekken Force armor, or modified into Yggdrasil armor. He often also wears a cape.

Personality

Lars has a heroic personality and a strong sense of justice. When the Mishima Zaibatsu no longer aligned with what he believed to be right, he led a coup against them. He is clearly a man of charisma and commands the respect of his peers, as nearly half of Tekken Force chose to join his rebel army during his insurrection. He has also been shown to be short tempered as he was quick to draw a gun on his father and shoot him during Tekken 6, and became irate and furious with Jin Kazama when the latter taunted him and set his friend, Alisa Bosconovitch, against him. Lars has been shown both to have an emotional side to him - expressing anger and sorrow in Tekken 6, especially at the loss of his lieutenant, Tougou, but also to have the ability to set aside his personal feelings in order to do what is practical and necessary. In Tekken 7, he easily sets aside his previous alliance with Raven in order to recover Jin for his owns ends, and also sets aside his dislike of Jin, whilst persuading the Journalist to do the same, since Jin is necessary for his plans. Lars is self reliant, initially treating others with suspicion, as when Lee Chaolan first proposed an alliance with him, but will trust and rely on those who are proven to be loyal to him, such as Tougou, Alisa, and (later) Lee. Whilst he is a strategist, he also trusts others to lead, and often used to give command of his troops to Tougou so that he himself could fight on the front line. Lars is a pragmatic soldier and unafraid to bring a gun to a fistfight if it serves his purpose.
