Literally is an barutoanderusu. It's been romanized all sorts of weird ways. Valt Andres, Bart Anders, and so on. There is only a little solid info about what this name is supposed
to mean:
1) The kanji for "barutoandersu" read "tsuki no monshou no ken"(the
Sword of the Coat of Arms of the Moon) a "tsuki no monshou" means that the crest or the coat of arms on the sword is a moon.
2) According to ryuuen, in the O-fen encylopedia or something, his name is
translated to mean, "always something else" or something like that.
3) Ryuuen posted to a JP BBS asking how to romanize the name, and they replied that they thought it was based on a German folktale.
4) It's Baldanders(Bahlt-ahnderz). Split up into two words, bald and anders, it means "soon" "something
else/different". Baldanders is a... thing... from a book by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen. It's called "Der Abenteuerliche Simplicissimus Teutsch", and it was written 1668-1669.
5) Baldanders changes into a bird and flies off, and the hero wonders what kind of devilish magic he taught him, and whether Baldanders really wasn't the devil after all.
6) Baldanders was a magical creature who specialized in transformation and
probably had some tricks up his sleeve.

Get the Savio Vega mug.He is a martial artist from Tekken series. Lei's life was consumed as usual by police work. Unfortunately for Lei, his live-in girlfriend got fed up with Lei's workaholic lifestyle and dumped him in favor of Lei's assistant. Ironically, the assistant acted as a liaison for Lei whenever she wanted to get in touch with him at work. When Lei found out about this, he became extremely depressed. Around the same time, Lei botched an operation to bring a crime syndicate to justice. Lei failed to capture an agent of the syndicate who would have enabled the police to take down the syndicate's boss. The failure cost the police force two years worth of intense undercover investigations. Rival detectives who were jealous of Lei's stellar case record saw this as an opportunity to damage Lei's career. Unbeknownst to Lei, the rivals reported to Lei's superiors that he botched the operation by "allowing personal affairs to affect his job performance." As a result of this betrayal, Lei wound up on a one-month suspension from active duty. Soon after his suspension, Lei learned from an informant that the syndicate was plotting to assassinate a boxer participating in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. The syndicate apparently hired an assassin for the hit. Lei thought that he could gain valuable information from the boxer about the syndicate. If all went as planned, he could also capture the assassin and establish a plausible connection between the assassin and the syndicate. Lei reasoned that this would aid efforts to bring the syndicate down. Lei entered the Tournament with the hope of redeeming his honor.
