▌ History
- Born and raised in the Soviet Union, Zangief is an incredibly patriotic character who has been motivated in some way to fight for his Motherland, and this didn't changed when the U.S.S.R. ceased to exist. Zangief has participated in the toughest and most dangerous of all wrestling competitions as a national Russian hero nicknamed the "Red Cyclone". Zangief quickly become acquainted with the General Secretary of the CPSU, and Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev. The President promised the country's full support in exchange for traveling around the world and showing off the might of the Soviet Union (and to improve his image abroad, an objective which Zangief wasn't made aware of). After meeting the President, Zangief is sent to train in remote Siberia (albeit with a limited budget).

Under orders from Gorbachev, Zangief is sent to combat the forces of Shadaloo, which is beginning to spread its corruption into Russia. Zangief encounters many fighters along the way, as he destroyed Shandaloo's secret weapon the Psycho Drive.

He then participates in the second World Warrior Tournament, hosted by Shadaloo, at the behest of Gorbachev where he lost. Zangief, dissatisfied with the outcome, returns to training in the Russian wilderness, wrestling bears. Eventually, he is approached by the largest wrestling organization in the world with an eye to signing the "Red Cyclone" to their promotion. Zangief at first refuses, saying that he is less interested in money than he is in bringing honor to Russia by demonstrating Russian strength. He is promised a stage to better showcase his skills, with his matches watched by millions. Due to the obvious help this will bring to his will to show Russian strength, Zangief gladly accepts.

After a long and prosperous career, where he held the World Championship several times, Zangief finally decided to retire. It shocked the entire wrestling world when it was announced that the living legend Zangief would be wrestling again and in no other place than the notorious AFW itself!
