Sagat - Street Fighter

Once a dominant champion, he was defeated by Ryu in a fateful match that shattered his pride and led him down a path of vengeance. After years of obsession and self-destruction, he underwent a profound transformation, seeking redemption through discipline and wisdom. Now, he stands not as a villain, but as a mentor and guardian of justice. Though his past is marked by rivalry and rage, his present is defined by honor and balance. A true master of Muay Thai, Sagat fights not for conquest, but to uphold the spirit of martial arts and guide the next generation of warriors.
