Story
He first appeared in Tekken 2 as the sub-boss of Marshall Law. According to the storyline, Baek accidentally killed his father during a sparring session, which left him in doubt over his own skills. As a result of his father's death, Baek went on a rampage, destroying several dojangs. One of the worst hit happened to be Marshall Law's. The two met at the second tournament and had a match, in which Baek lost.
According to the Tekken 3 storyline, Baek was presumed dead after encountering Ogre the fictional Aztec God of Fighting. One of his closest students, Hwoarang, entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to exact revenge for his master's death and to have a rematch with Jin Kazama, the only fighter who had ever fought him to a draw.
Several male characters from the Tekken 2 lineup returned in Tekken 5, including Baek. According to the Tekken 5 storyline, his encounter with Ogre had left him in a coma, not dead as initially presumed. He woke up over a year later, after Hwoarang had already competed in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. Baek began teaching Tae Kwon Do at military bases. Hwoarang was drafted into the South Korean Military, but he ran away to compete in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. When he was arrested by the South Korean Military Police, he was informed that Baek was alive.
Two months later, Hwoarang completed his service, and Baek asked him to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Baek also entered the tournament to test his student's skills.
Endings
Hwoarang is about to fight a group of three men around his age. Baek (in his Player 2 outfit) then steps in, disapproving of Hwoarang's street fights. After one of Hwoarang's opponents blindsides him with a kick, Baek easily takes out all three. Baek walks away, dragging Hwoarang behind him in a comical manner.
Trivia
"Baek-Du San" is the Korean name of a mountain that is split in two by the North Korean-Chinese border. It is treated almost like a national monument by Koreans and Chinese alike. Namco, having broken the traditional Japanese/English language barrier, allowed Baek to be voiced by a Korean-speaking voice actor for Tekken 5. In Tekken 2, Baek can be one of the ten characters the player starts with. If the "New Character" test setting is set to "Baek & Lei", another fellow Tekken character, Jun Kazama is a stage 8 mid-boss that can only be beaten using Marshall Law Baek made an appearance in Tekken: The Motion Picture when fighting Kazuya and losing to him.
