Goenitz

Intro Goenitz (ゲーニッツ), also named as "Goenitz of the Wildly-Blowing Wind" (吹ふき荒すさぶ風かぜのゲーニッツ) is a character in The King of Fighters series. He debut as the main antagonist and final boss of The King of Fighters '96. He is the head of the Hakkesshu and the strongest member of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi. Though influenced by Orochi, he retains much of the mannerisms and civility of a priest, which is reflected in his winning poses and his elegant, somewhat flowery speech, ending most of his Japanese sentences with desu, which conveys politeness. He hides his malice against mankind through this agreeable personality. He is respected by the New Faces Team (as they are allies), and reciprocates the gesture with a bow, as seen in KOF '98 UM and KOF 2002 UM, and in KOFXV, it is revealed that the four are actively working together. However, Vice, Mature, and Yamazaki are all indifferent toward him; Leona opposes him for what he did to her as a child. Gaidel was likely reincarnated without his memories of who he was in the first place, so his true sentiments regarding Goenitz is currently unknown, but will most likely clash. He sports the same "messiah" attitude that aspires to "save" people and dispatch disbelievers, and likewise, is harsh towards unholy and demonic beings, and anything that defies nature.
