Fighting style: Pyrokinesis
The Queen of Inferno and a powerful high-ranking demon. Rood Kaiser van Wolfgang
Rood Kaiser "Wolffy" van Wolfgang
Origin: The Netherlands
Fighting style: Modified Tang Soo Do & Combat Alchemy
A Dutch bounty hunter and Tang Soo Do master with alchemy powers who is half-human and half-beastman, and is feared by his moniker the "Flying Dutchman". He joins the King of Iron Fist Tournament in search of a Worthy Opponent.- Alchemy Is Magic: He is a master alchemist who incorporates his magical powers into his martial arts style. Offensive-wise, he can supercharge an opponent's projectile attacks and send it back to his attacker.
- Alternate Company Equivalent:
- He's the Dutch version of Sol Badguy from the Guilty Gear series, an amoral, free-spirited, and lone wolf Bounty Hunter with a Mysterious Past. He is the red-colored rival to another blue-colored protagonist (Ky Kiske and Kotaro Fuuma).
- To Yugo from the Bloody Roar series, both have a werewolf-like second form(s) and transforms into said form during battles. The only main difference is that Wolfgang is a Tang Soo Do practitioner, as opposed to a boxer like Yugo.
- Blood Knight: To him, fighting is his way of life. Hence, justifying his intentions of entering the King of Iron Fist Tournament.
- Canon Foreigner: He's the only character exclusively to the story to neither represent the Tekken and/or the Taimanin series, but rather acting as a bridge between the two series.
- Foil:
- To Fuuma, as he is the captain of the Taimanin Task Force and is capable of socializing with his peers and other task force members. Wolfgang, on the other hand, is a lone wolf, but gets along with his clients and friends who he worked alongside. Fuuma rarely fights in the frontlines and acts as a Mission Control for his team, Wolfgang enjoys fighting and seeking stronger opponents.
- To Hwoarang, both utilize a Korean martial art and serve as a rival to one of the main characters. Unlike Hwoarang, Wolffy is not above pestering Fuuma into putting him on a Training from Hell, desiring to see Fuuma become stronger in the day they will fight.
- The Rival: He serves as this to Fuuma.

- Early-Bird Cameo: Appears in Chapter 2, where she beats the hell out of Oboro and Edwin Black.
- Establishing Character Moment: She appears before Edwin Black after the latter sent his army of demons to wipe out any survivors of the Hachijo clan, and then proceeds to beat him up within an inch of his life.
- Walking Spoiler: Much like in her debut appearance in Tekken 8, it's hard to discuss Reina's ulterior motives, other the simple fact having appeared much earlier in the story.
