Krizalid/Story

Past
Krizalid was made to be the ultimate Kyo Kusanagi clone, outfitted with a special suit to feed data of fighters into his body during battle. This was achieved by cloning K' (rather than Kyo directly). As a side effect, he gained some of K's memories and believed Whip to be his sister.

The King of Fighters '99
He was ordered to activate the thousands of Kyo clones around the world by using his suit. In order to gather the battle data necessary for the activation period, he fights the winning team of the King of Fighters tournament. After his defeat, the Kyo clones were neutralized and his superior fatally crushed Krizalid by throwing a boulder at him. Heidern inquires if Krizalid remembers anything including his real name. He simply cannot remember and in the Ikari team ending, Whip reveals to Krizalid of his status as a clone, with him dying shortly after out of treachery. According to the novels, his corpse was taken in by the Ikari mercenaries. Zero somehow later retrieved Krizalid's body and used the power of NESTS technology to bring him back to life.

The King of Fighters 2001


In The King of Fighters 2001, he resurfaces, revived by the original Zero, and fights alongside him. K' faces Zero, Lin faces Ron, Maxima faces Glaugan and Krizalid faces Whip. Despite knowing the truth of his origin, he still calls Whip by her real name. Krizalid finally dies on his own merits, letting Whip's Voodoo entangle his foot and force him to lose balance, this allowed Whip to shoot him with her Desert Eagle resulting in his presumably second death.

The King of Fighters XIV
When Verse is subsequently defeated, Krizalid's soul emerges from it along with many others, and is suspected to be alive again as a result.
