Adelheid Bernstein

Adelheid Bernstein (アーデルハイド・バーンシュタイン, Āderuhaido Bānshutain) (Adel for short) is a boss character from The King of Fighters 2003 and XI. He, along with his younger sister, Rose, are the only known children of Rugal Bernstein. Creators have stated that he is the "other protagonist" of the Ash saga.

He is voiced by Tetsuya Tanaka.

Story
Adelheid and his sister Rose reside on an airship called "Sky Noah". In The King of Fighters 2003, he would challenge fighters there at the behest of his sister. His story in The King of Fighters XI implies that he faced the Ikari Warriors Team and was defeated by them. He peacefully chats with Heidern and explains that he is only following his father's legacy. In his ending for the game, he seems to appear regretful for his actions and yells at his sister for insulting his opponents.

Personality
Unlike his father Rugal Bernstein, he is an honourable fighter, who exhibits good sportsmanship, as demonstrated when he is defeated in The King of Fighters 2003.
