Igniz

Igniz (イグニス, Igunisu) is the final boss in The King of Fighters 2001. Igniz is 56 years old although his beauty makes him appear young for his age. His handsome and youthful appearance was specifically created at the sponsors' request. He becomes the leader of NESTS after he killed Nests. He is voiced by Norio Wakamoto.

Story
Igniz hosts the KOF 2001 tournament in hopes of becoming a new god, deciding to test his new found power against the finalists. His hopes were short-lived when he is defeated by the player. Cursing his failure and declaring himself a demon instead, Igniz attempts to destroy the planet by plummeting NESTS' main headquarters out of orbit. The fortunate passengers in the falling station survive the heat inside the space station and the planet remains in one piece (apparently thanks to Ron). Igniz's death signals the end of the NESTS saga.

Personality
Igniz Is A Man who for many years had true faith in and for N.E.S.T.S. However when he began to have more and more power he felt that N.E.S.T.S. was holding him back which led to him being a psychopath with the hope that he can rule all of humanity
