Biography[]
Orochi Saga[]
Goenitz is the leader of the Hakkeshu, knowing of his duty since he was a child. Because of this, he decided to become a priest. He soon started his plans to awaken Orochi, searching for the other Hakkeshu to help him. While looking for a suitable host for Orochi, he meets the crime lord Rugal Bernstein and fights him. He defeats Rugal and takes out his right eye, granting him a portion of the Orochi power.
He then commands Vice and Mature to watch over Rugal, becoming his secretaries and helping him host the King of Fighters tournament.
Goenitz then goes after Gaidel, who was a Hakkeshu as well, but is disgusted to learn that Gaidel was living a peaceful life and had no interest in helping him. As a form of vengeance, Goenitz makes Gaidel's daughter enter in Riot of Blood, going completely berserk and killing Gaidel and the entire village he lives in. Goenitz then brainwashes her and leaves the place to continue his plan. Knowing that the seal of Orochi wouldn't break easily, he decides to look for the heirs of the clans that imprisoned Orochi. He finds the Yata household and kills their heir, Maki Kagura. Her sister, Chizuru Kagura, learns of Goenitz's plans and decides to host the King of Fighters tournament, in hopes of convincing Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami to help her defeat Goenitz.
Goenitz leaves Vice and Mature watching over Iori, while he goes after Kyo personally, wanting to test how mighty he was. He defeats Kyo easily and decides to play Chizuru's game to see how far she will go. Chizuru meets with the winning team, and just then Goenitz decides to interfere, destroying the stadium with his wind powers.
Due to the threat the priest poses, Kyo and Iori decide to put their rivalry on hold, teaming up with Chizuru to take down Goenitz. After being defeated, in order to avoid being sealed away, Goenitz uses his winds to shred himself to ribbons.
Shun'ei Saga[]
| “ | We are like the day and the night. I will erase you from the face od the earth. | „ |
| ~ Goenitz to Ash Crimson |
After mainly appearing in non-canon entries as a hidden boss in all appearances following The King of Fighters '96, Goenitz was eventually revived following the original defeat of Verse in The King of Fighters XIV. With his revival, Goenitz serves as a hidden commander for the other members of the Heavenly Kings, acting from the shadows as Yashiro, Shermie, and Chris enact his will by attempting to revive Orochi once more.
Personality[]
Goenitz is a calm, polite and composed individual, presenting himself as a benevolent messenger of God with a mission to "save" humanity. However, beneath this façade lies his true nature as a devoted Orochi member, harboring deep hatred and contempt for humanity.
He is respected by the New Faces Team, who are his allies, and he reciprocates their respect with a bow, as shown in The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match and The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match. In KOF XV, it is revealed that the four are actively collaborating.
In contrast, Vice, Mature, and Yamazaki remain indifferent toward him, while Leona openly opposes him for the trauma he inflicted on her as a child. Gaidel, likely reincarnated without memories of his past, has opposed Goenitz in the past, and a future clash seems inevitable.
Goenitz continues to embody a "messiah" persona, aspiring to "save" humanity by eradicating those who oppose Orochi’s will. He is particularly harsh toward unholy or demonic beings and anything he perceives as unnatural or defiant of Orochi’s ideals.
