Doctrine Dark

How Doctrine Dark joined the Tourney
Born in Germany, Dark once served under the orders of Guile with his own special tactical reconnaissance unit. During his tour of duty, his own unit got into a bit of a scuffle with another rival unit, lead by Rolento. The minor scuffle escalated into a full-on battle, with both sides receiving heavy casualties. Doctrine Dark was the only member of his unit to escape. However, he was severely injured emotionally and physically.

Outfitted with a portable breathing apparatus, he eventually escaped from the hospital and went into hiding, only to re-emerge as the deranged psychotic killer Doctrine Dark. Dark holds Guile responsible for the massacre of his unit. He blames Guile for not training him well, whom he accuses of being more concerned with chasing after M. Bison to avenge Charlie than with the safety of his own men. For these reasons, he seeks to kill Guile as a result.

Still with no success at killing Guile, Doctrine Dark hunts down a Goshin Clan descendant to take him to his former commanding officer. This Goshin clanswoman, was Naraku.

Dark Shackle (Hyper Smash)
Doctrine Dark does five switchblade slashes, then a spreading slash. If they all hit, Doctrine will impale his opponent on his blades, slam him/her down, then throw an Ex-plosive on the opponent who begs "No!" but is blown away by the blade. Dark then sweeps the ground with his left switchblade.

Death Trap (Final Smash)
Based on his Street Fighter EX3 Meteor Combo. Doctrine Dark sends a wire out to his opponent. If it hits, he pulls the opponent to him, then straps a red explosive on the opponent. After Dark leaps away, the opponent panics as a flash comes off the bomb, then is destroyed in the blast with a Star KO scream, taking a life from the stock.
