Steve Fox

"I'll take care of that guy if I run into him. Shhsh-shshs-sshhhs!"

- Steve after beating up a friend and if they need someone beaten/killed

Steve Fox made his first appearance in Tekken 4, and he has returned for every subsequent game in the Tekken series so far. Steve found out during a WWE Tournament that he was going to be assassinated by Leo Kasper; fortunately, this did not happen due to Leo being tasked somewhere else at the time. He entered the fifth King of Iron Fist tournament to "settle a score" with the Mishima Corporation. He, unlike other productions of the corp., turned against them after they planned on assassinating him and still plans to slay every last one of them.

Info
Steve is a level-headed British boxer enjoying his undefeated run as the middleweight champion of the world in a tournament in England. Created by the Mishima Corp. in 2003, Steve was ordered by Heihachi Mishima to throw in a high-stakes fight, but he refused and instead won the fight. Unfortunately, Mishima made good on their threats and put a price on Steve's head. With the Mishimas in hot pursuit, Steve fled England for the United States of America and led a life on the run. But Steve soon realised that no matter what he did, Mishimas would eventually catch and kill him. Motivated by this realisation, Steve sought the limelight once again, and entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.

After gaining information of the Mishima Corporation, Steve heads to the certain location.

Steve heads to a laboratory of the Mishima Corp. and he is seen destroying equipment in rage. Then he looks at a tank which either contains a life form or is the place where he was created. He punches the glass possibly to stop the creation of someone like him. After this, he takes out a lighter and burns the whole building down to the ground while walking away satisfied.

Steve Fox destroyed the Mishima Corporation laboratories and finally cleared his conscience. He then attempted to reenter the world of boxing, but all the large tournaments were cancelled due to a break Heihachi take. Without boxing, Steve lost his only livelihood, an unfortunate turn that quickly led to a very unfulfilling life. About the same time, Steve received an invitation from Marshal Law and Paul Phoenix to train with them. Steve saw this as a good opportunity to experience other fighting styles and accepted their invitation.

Steve, along with Paul and Marshal Law, celebrate their victory in the tournament in a small hut after Fox defeats a very determent Daiko Mishima. The Mishima Corporation bringing a small loan of money inside for them. Paul reminds them that they'll split the money 3 ways "just like we promised". However, Steve lightly rejects the money and tells them that the experience alone was reward enough and leaves the hut. After he leaves, Paul and Marshall delight in the fact that they have so much money, however, unknown to them, the corp. has placed a bomb inside one of the cases of money. Paul and Law continue to celebrate unaware that they only have five seconds left to live their pathetic worthless lives. Outside, Steve is shown quite far away from the hut as the bomb goes off, apparently killing his two new friends. He turns around and a shocked look overtakes his sad face.

Personality and traits
Steve is a polite and gentleman-like chap who's main motivation is to fight in the bloody ring. He has very few enemies and has made many friends and friendly rivals throughout the Tekken series, including Hwoarang and Paul Phoenix. Despite these qualities, Steve has a mysterious and troublesome past which he does not seem to remember and he is constantly searching to uncover the truth about it.
