Those from the Past

Those from the Past (遙けし彼の地より出る者たち Harukeshi Ka no Chi yori Izuru Monotachi), alternatively known as "Those from His Distant Land", are the main villains in the current story arc for The King of Fighters. Their main goal is to awaken Orochi for their master, so that Orochi's power is given to him. Little is known about their members, but they have been implied to not be human. "His Distant Land" is implied to be Europe in Magaki's backstory; judging by their appearance and abilities, they could rather belong to another dimension.
