Background Info : Terry was one of two boys living on the streets picked up by a great fighter named Jeff Bogard. He adopted Terry and another boy, named Andy. (It is unclear whether or not Terry and Andy truly are brothers, or just two unrelated kids Jeff picked up.) He intended to pass on his knowledge of the Hakyokusaken fighting style to the two boys, but was murdered under the order of Geese Howard, a rival pupil, before he could do so. (In the Anime, it is Geese himself who murders Jeff, but the in the AoF game, it is Takuma.) But his sensei, Tung Fu Rue was still alive. He ordered Terry and Andy, at the time still young boys, to perfect their own style of martial arts, then he would teach the better in order to get revenge on Geese for the death of their father. Terry returned, proving to be the better suited to learn the ways of Hakyokusaken, and eventually killed Geese. But in the process, Tung Fu Rue died while teaching Terry the secret techniques. The next year, Terry was faced with his strongest opponent yet. Geese's half-brother, Wolfgang Krauser, was bent on destroying the man who would be champion. Terry proved his worth, and Krauser commited suicide, not allowed to live with the shame of defeat. Now Terry fights to increase his skill level. He is the best there is, and joins Andy and Joe yet again in the annual King of Fighters Tournament. He's glad that he's partners with them now, rather than having to fight them in the tournament. (Incidentally, Terry has adopted a kid in the Fatal Fury series, because Jeff did the same for him. Terry's gloves are Jeff Bogard's, which is why he treasures them so much.) Terry's involvement in the KoF'94 tournament was mainly brought about through a woman. She was somehow connected to Rugal, and was being chased by some of his men. Terry saved her, and entered to the tournament to find out just what Rugal was after.
