Silber

Silber (ズィルバー) is the main antagonist of Buriki One.

While other characters (such as G-Mantle, Joker and Gozu) were considered for guest appearances in The King of Fighters XI, Silber was added to match the boss-protagonist theme with Gai Tendo. Originally, he was deemed to not completely fit the series so they made generous tweaks to his effective yet simple moveset. He has drawn comparisons to the Street Fighter series antagonist Akuma due to similar appearance and entrance.

He is voiced by Hiroyuki Arita.

Story
Silber is a powerful martial artist that wanders the world in search of strong opponents. Sometime in the past, he challenged and defeated Song Xuandao. When he heard of the Buriki One tournament featuring many fighters with different fighting styles, he decides to enter the tournament. His protegé is Rob Python, he is also acquainted with the mysterious assassin, Oswald, as shown in King of Fighters XI, but any details on said connection are unknown.

Personality
A power hungry maniac, Silber dreams of obtaining more power. Victory and defeat don't matter to him, and neither do good and evil. The only thing that matters to Silber is the fight itself.
