Zangief

About this character

This massive Russian makes up for his obvious mental shortcomings with sheer size and an unadulterated zeal for fighting. A former employee of the Russian Wrestling Federation who enjoys wrestling bears in his free time; Zangief now takes his orders from the masterminds controlling the insidious Shadowlaw organization. Though not evil, the simple-minded Zangief is unable to distinguish loyalty from true friendship.
