History

Igniz is 56 years old (from the official guide book), although his beauty makes him appear young for his age. According to the KOF 10th Anniversary Website, Igniz's place of origin is unknown, he uses a mode of combat called NESTS-style Boxing. His secretary's name is Misty, he's the CEO of NESTS. While he's essentially below the "real president" of NESTS, he's actually the Master of NESTS, succeeding the real president (whom he killed) since his death. A Chief Executive Officer (CEO), or Chief Executive, is the highest-ranking corporate officer, administrator, corporate administrator, executive, or executive officer, in charge of total management of a corporation, company, organization or agency. ...


Igniz hosts the KOF 2001 tournament in hopes to become a new god, but his hopes were short-lived in spite of overpowering K', as Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami defeat Igniz by blasting him with a double flame attack. Cursing his failure and realizing that he isn't a real replacement for a god after all, Igniz emits a suicide mission to destroy the planet. The space station violently thrusts down through the stratosphere, eventually landing in the ocean. The fortunate passengers in the falling station survive the heat inside the space station, and the planet remains in one piece (apparently thanks to Ron), however Igniz is now dead. Thus ends the story of NESTS.


Trivia

  • Igniz's theme song, I'm The Strongest, appears to share much of its melody with Original Zero's theme, except that Igniz's version is faster, and features prominent use of electric guitars. The theme's title derives from Igniz's self-image.
  • According to SNK, the character designer for KOF 2001 was given one simple instruction when designing Igniz; "make him hot!"
  • The final boss in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, Goodman, bears a striking resemblance to Igniz.
  • Igniz is unlockable in the PS2 version of KOF 2001 by defeating 200 enemies in party mode. However, new KOF NEST Collection (KOF '99, KOF 2000 & KOF 2001), he's a playable boss (but cost all of player's teammates, so does Zero).
