Iori is resigned to his fate as the bearer of the Orochi Power. He seems to experience no joy in life, even when fighting. He rarely provokes any fights, but he is confident that he will silence any challenger that crosses his path, especially his rivals. His encounters with Kyo and Kim illustrate their long standing fued, with Kyo determined to defeat him in battle, and Kim wishing to reform Iori's dark ways. Even the mere comparison of Iori to Kyo by Ryu enrages Iori. But nothing evokes more fear over Iori's fate than a chance encounter with a double of Iori that has already entered the Orochi Blood Riot state. He vows to defeat his Orochi tainted double and never allow that fate to befall him. Demitri and Tessa seem to sense an interesting combination of powers in him that fascinate them. Either out of seriousness or uncharacteristic humor, Iori quotes Shakespeare to Chun-Li and says "get thee to a nunnery."
