Orochi Chris

Chris of the Flames of Destiny (炎のさだめのクリス, Honoo no Sadame Kurisu) is the Heavenly King title of Chris. This is an alternate form of Chris that was introduced in The King of Fighters '97 as part of the sub-boss team, alongside Orochi Shermie and Orochi Yashiro. His Orochi name was inspired by the opening theme of Armored Trooper Votoms.

Story
It's not known when Chris realized he was a Heavenly King. Chris entered the '97 tournament with Shermie and Yashiro to get revenge on Iori Yagami for stealing their show, but the true reason they entered the tournament was to collect energy from the fighters and use it to awake Orochi. At the end of the tournament, Yashiro, Shermie and Chris activated the Riot of the Blood within Leona Heidern and Iori Yagami. When the two were defeated, the New Faces Team revealed themselves as Heavenly Kings and started to fight the Japan Team. Chris faced Kyo Kusanagi but was defeated. Defeated, Yashiro and Shermie killed themselves to give their energy to Orochi, their master and Orochi was reincarnated into Chris' body. Orochi, along with Chris body and probably soul, was sealed in another dimension by Chizuru Kagura.

Personality
Chris' personality becomes slightly more sadistic in his Orochi form. He is still shy around people, rarely talking, most likely due to the knowledge of his fate as an avatar for Orochi.
