Roberto Frois

Roberto

Roberto Frois (ロベルト・フロイス Roberuto Furoisu) is a Christian missionary born to a Japanese mother and Portuguese father. After being betrayed by his adoptive and demonically possessed father, Luis Frois (who tried to use him as a genma experiment), as well as losing many close friends, Roberto is now on a mission of pure revenge.

Roberto's weapon of choice are his enhanced arms and fists, capable of numerous destructive boxing combinations. Roberto's gauntlets are based on the Christian archangel's, Raphael, Uriel and Michael, ordered from weakest gauntlet to strongest respectively. His alternate costume is William F. Guile from the Street Fighter series.

Story

Roberto is first introduced when Soki and Tenkai meet him in a prison cell. At this point they try to help him, but Roberto replies in Spanish and attacks them. Later, he reappears when Soki confronts Mitsunari and Luis Frois and tries to kill Luis. However, both he and Soki fall through a trap door set by Mitsunari and have to fight off a corpse of former Genma Queen Hecuba. Afterward, Tenkai convinces Roberto to join the group using the Spanish tongue.
