[edit] Story
[edit] Tekken 2
He first appeared in Tekken 2 as the sub-boss of Marshall Law. According to the storyline, Baek accidentally killed his father during a sparring session, which left him in doubt over his own skills. As a result of his father's death, Baek went on a rampage, destroying several dojos. One of the worst hit happened to be Marshall Law's. Baek then left a note there telling him that he will be in the second King of Iron Fist tournament. The two met there and had a match, in which Baek lost.
[edit] Tekken 3
According to the Tekken 3 storyline, Baek was presumed dead after encountering Ogre the fictional Aztec God of Fighting. One of his closest students, Hwoarang, entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to exact revenge for his master's death and to have a rematch with Jin Kazama, the only fighter who had ever fought him to a draw.
[edit] Tekken 5
According to the Tekken 5 storyline, Baek's encounter with Ogre had left him in a coma, not dead as initially presumed. He woke up over a year later, after Hwoarang had already competed in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Baek later began teaching taekwondo at military bases. Hwoarang was drafted into the South Korean military, but he ran away to compete in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. When he was arrested by the South Korean Military Police, he was informed that Baek was alive.
Two months later, Hwoarang completed his service, and Baek asked him to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Baek also entered the tournament to test his student's skills.
[edit] Tekken 6
Baek entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, along with his disciple, Hwoarang. However, Baek withdrew from the tournament when he found out that Hwoarang lost to Devil Jin, and he was seriously injured. Baek then rushed to the hospital to visit Hwoarang. Although Hwoarang's condition wasn't considered as something serious after his treatment, Hwoarang wouldn't wake up, and Baek started blaming himself for being an inadequate instructor.
It took Hwoarang three days to regain consciousness. They discussed the details, and Hwoarang told Baek that he not only has to recover, but he has to strengthen himself even further.
Baek sensed his strong will and his unprecedented modesty, and hence he decided to teach him everything he knows. Baek and Hwoarang returned to Korea, and endeavoured to practice intensely. Eventually, the announcement of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 came from the Mishima Zaibatsu, and Baek decides to enter the tournament one last time to widen his personal experience-collection.
[edit] Endings
Tekken 2
- Baek is sitting on a bench outside a park. He takes out a locket which he was wearing, that contains a photo of him and his father. Baek reminisces about his training sessions with his father, remembering the great person he was and how much he loved him. Remembering his father for the man that was proud of his son, Baek finally forgives himself for killing him, finding peace within himself.
Tekken Tag Tournament
- A closeup of Baek's face is shown. Then, both Baek and Hwoarang are shown standing up in Hwoarang's Tekken Tag Tournament arena. Baek is talking to Hwoarang, but his words cannot be heard. Hwoarang lowers his head. Then, Baek points to the ground, and Hwoarang sits on his knees and lower legs. Hwoarang looks up to see Baek slapping his left knee with his left hand and talking to him at the same time. Hwoarang shrugs, and a disgusted look appears on his face. Baek makes a fist with his left hand, and then he points to the top of his head with his thumb on the same hand while talking to Hwoarang. Baek then points to Hwoarang, and Hwoarang lowers his head. Baek then crosses his arms. Baek is still talking to Hwoarang.
Tekken 5
- Hwoarang is about to fight a group of three men around his age. Baek then steps in, disapproving of Hwoarang's street fights. After one of Hwoarang's opponents blindsides him with a kick, they challenge Baek who easily takes out all three and walks away while dragging Hwoarang behind him in a comical manner.
[edit] Tekken: The Motion Picture
Baek makes a small appearance in Tekken: The Motion Picture as one of the competitors of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, but he doesn't make it far, as he is defeated and knocked out in the first round by Kazuya, after attempting a sneak attack on him. He is last seen emerging from the exploding Mishima resort, and he escapes in a boat along with the other survivors.
