Lei is based on martial
arts legend, Jackie Chan. Even Lei's nickname, 'Super Cop' is based off of the
movie Police Story III starring Jackie Chan. Debuting in Tekken 2,
Lei
is the #1 detective of the Hong Kong International Police Force. As
one of the most respected Hong Kong police detectives, officer Lei Wulong has
developed his own style of Kung Fu, and uses this to his advantage when facing
the many criminals he encounters within his home metropolis. A number of
killings lead to the investigation of Kazuya
Mishima, who
was linked with several Triad and Mafia transactions across the globe.
Lei's investigations lead him to Kazuya's former bodyguard, Bruce Irvin.
Bruce nearly defeated Lei in The King of Iron Fist tournament 2, but Lei managed to come away victorious. Mysteriously, Bruce's flight home was
reported crashed, killing all passengers aboard. It was rumored that Kazuya's
corps were involved as a means of silencing Bruce. Lei's investigation and
intuition led him to believe the accident was staged, and he doubted that Bruce
was really dead.
Before the events of
Tekken 3, Lei returns to his job as an investigator of international crime.
Though 19 years have passed since Tekken 2, apparently nobody believes
that Lei is 45 due to his good looks and fighting skills. Known as Supercop,
he's feared internationally by even the most powerful of crime organizations. Falling within his
jurisdiction are the strange disappearances of prominent martial artists. During
these investigations, Lei was visited by the head man of the MFE, Heihachi
Mishima. He asked Lei to join the "King of Iron Fist Tournament
3." Why Heihachi would seek him out for a mere tournament was beyond Lei. A
believer in fate, Lei feels there's a reason for this meeting.
During the time
of Tekken 4, Lei's life was consumed
as usual by police work. Unfortunately for Lei, his live-in girlfriend
got fed up with Lei's workaholic lifestyle and dumped him in favor of Lei's
assistant. Ironically, the assistant acted as a liaison for Lei whenever
she wanted to get in touch with him at work. When Lei found out about
this, he became extremely depressed. Around the same time, Lei botched
an operation to bring a crime syndicate to justice. Lei failed to capture
an agent of the syndicate who would have enabled the police to take down
the syndicate's boss. The failure cost the police force two years
worth of intense undercover investigations. Rival detectives who were jealous
of Lei's stellar case record saw this as an opportunity to damage Lei's
career. Unbeknownst to Lei, the rivals reported to Lei's superiors
that he botched the operation by "allowing personal affairs to affect his
job performance."
As a result of this
betrayal, Lei wound up on a one-month suspension from active duty. Soon
after his suspension, Lei learned from an informant that the syndicate
was plotting to assassinate a boxer participating in The King of Iron Fist
Tournament 4. The syndicate apparently hired an assassin for the
hit. Lei thought that he could gain valuable information from the boxer
about the syndicate. If all went as planned, he could also capture
the assassin and establish a plausible connection between the assassin
and the syndicate. Lei reasoned that this would aid efforts to bring
the syndicate down. Lei entered the Tournament with the hope of redeeming
his honor.
Lei pursued the fugitive,
Feng
Wei, to Japan, but unfortunately his trail grew cold, and with no new
leads he had to return to Hong Kong. And waiting for him back home was
a country in chaos; riots with steady regularity had taken the country
by storm. Knowing the ones behind this mess were none other than the Mishima
Financial Group (MFG), Lei set out for the King of Iron Fist Tournament
6 to arrest Jin Kazama, the ringleader pulling
all the strings.
