Bryan worked as a police officer with connections to the Interpol Division of the Hong Kong Police Force. He was a skilled detective, though always followed by dark rumors. Whilst investigating the drug trade, fellow Hong Kong Interpol detective Lei Wulong discovered that Bryan had connections with drug dealers. Bryan was killed in a shoot-out in Hong Kong, possibly by Lei.[8]

Bryan's corpse was transported to a laboratory belonging to Doctor Abel, a doctor willing to do anything to rival the creations of the genius scientist, Doctor Bosconovitch. Doctor Abel brought Bryan back to life through the use of cybernetic enhancements. To perfect him as a prototype for a cyborg army, Dr. Abel sent him off to steal data from Dr Bosconovitch that would complete him. Bryan originally entered the third King of Iron Fist Tournament under these auspices, and targeted Yoshimitsu, a known acquaintance of Dr Bosconovitch, in order to try and find the data he needed.

Bryan appears to have been unable to get the data he needed from Yoshimitsu or Dr Bosconovitch, and subsequently realized that his life was coming to an end. On returning to Dr Abel, Bryan realized Abel had abandoned him, and had taken up working for the Mishima Zaibatsu as its top scientific advisor. Dr Abel no longer cared about what became of his obsolete cyborg creation. Bryan despised both Dr Abel for abandoning him, and Heihachi Mishima for taking Dr Abel away from him. He entered the fourth Iron Fist Tournament in order to take control of the Mishima Zaibatsu and get Dr Abel to modify his body and prolong his life.[9]

Bryan's plans did not go as hoped and he ended up attempting to raid the Mishima Zaibatsu by force. He was discovered injured in the Mishima Zaibatsu's vault by Yoshimitsu, who helped him escape.[10] Bryan awoke in Dr Bosconovitch's lab, where the doctor informed him he could upgrade his body. Bryan entrusted himself to the doctor, but, on awaking, realized his body was the same as before. Doctor Bosconovitch explained he needed more time to fully understand Bryan's body, but that in the meantime he was able to fit him with a perpetual power generator as an emergency measure, that would extend his life. Bryan lashed out and attacked the doctor and killed the Manji Clan members standing guard in the lab.[11]

Yoshimitsu had sworn vengeance on Bryan for attacking his rescuers, and prevented Bryan from getting far in his attempts to test the power of his generator in the fifth tournament. Enraged, Bryan began joining different battlefields, something that wasn't in short supply now that Jin Kazama had succeeded as head of the Zaibatsu, and was now waging global warfare. At this time, Bryan ended up holed up in an abandoned mansion, an ex-G Corporation testing facility, with a host of escaped G-Corp human experiments. He claims he was using the position in order to bait in strong opponents to test himself against. Eventually boring of this, when Jin announced the 6th tournament, Bryan joined it, seeking a fight that would satisfy his appetite.

The cancellation on the 6th tournament sent Bryan back into warzones, where he went on indiscriminate rampages.[12] He ended up in a conflict zone in the USA, where a man named Bob confronted him in an effort to stop his trail of destruction.[13]

Personality

Bryan Fury from Tekken is best classified as an Enneagram type Eight. This is reflected in his dominant and aggressive personality, as he tends to control situations and people around him. Fury has a strong desire for control, and he can become very ruthless when he feels like his authority is being challenged.

Bryan is brutish, unfeeling, and overall psychotic. Throughout the entire Tekken series, it is clear that Bryan's motivation is nothing more than to create havoc and misery wherever he goes. His selfishness has been shown multiple times, like when he betrayed Doctor Bosconovitch and Yoshimitsu very shortly after Yoshimitsu saved him from death.

Bryan rarely talks and usually expresses his delight in watching others suffering through maniacal laughter and unhinged smirks. Noticeably, in the crossover game Street Fighter X Tekken, Bryan talks much more often then he does in any of the Tekken games he is in (which is also true for his partner, Jack-X). He does however speak in full sentences in his Tekken 5 interludes and also in the Scenario Campaign mode in Tekken 6, although in the latter his voice is not heard.
