The Big Bear persona is mainly used when he plays himself off as a fan favorite whereas the Raiden persona is mostly used if he plays himself off as a hated villain.

Raiden hails from Alice Springs, Australia, and is one of Geese Howard's henchmen, despite his friendship with Geese's enemy Terry Bogard.
