Wolfgang Krauser von Stroheim, often simply called Wolfgang Krauser, is a boss character in SNK's Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series. He is initially introduced as a paragon of darkness, a figure embodying power and villainy. Krauser takes pride in his family's strength and his own prowess as a martial artist, viewing himself as unrivaled. He hosts the King of Fighters tournament with the goal of global acknowledgment and surpassing his half-brother Geese Howard. Krauser's fighting style is a blend of the German martial art 'Kampfringen' and the ancient Greek 'Pankration,' mixed with wrestling techniques, known for his raw power and overwhelming presence. He is often portrayed as a cold, arrogant nobleman who respects only strong opponents and views the weak as a waste of his time. In The King of Fighters '96, he resurfaces as part of a team with Geese and Mr. Big, revealing a focus on self-improvement rather than pure lust for power.
