Kain R. Heinlein

Kain R. Heinlein is a character in the Fatal Fury series.

While he is the final boss of Garou: Mark of the Wolves, he will only fight players who've attained at least an AAA-ranking win average throughout the game  and  never lose a single round.

In Garou: Mark of the Wolves, he is voiced by Jun Hashimoto.

Personality
Kain is calm, careful, strong-willed and a serious man; he is also very ambitious, but not a megalomaniac. His antagonism stems from being a crime boss to impose his moral ideals, the value of life and living it, and not anything near greed, evil or control, as his brother-in-law Geese would. Both men are ruthless against adversary, shares a strict moral code and respects worthy opponents. He hates emotions as, according to him, they breed conniving and bias.

These characteristics make him more of an anti-villain than a true villain, having noble intent over his supposed evil deeds.
