Learn about Venom's tragic past in Guilty Gear Strive, from his orphaned beginnings to his loyalty to Zato and the organization's betrayal.
Orphaned at a young age, Venom was taken in by a group of assassins. However, his inherent sensibilities made it difficult for him to grow within the organization. As time passed, he contemplated the meaning of his existence. Eventually, the organization deemed him worthless and ordered his execution.
Before his execution could be carried out, Zato, who had become the new leader of the organization, recognized Venom's talent and spared his life. Out of deep gratitude for being saved and given a purpose, Venom pledged his loyalty to Zato.
Later, Zato fell out of favor, and rumors of his disloyalty began to spread. Venom, who had served as Zato's right-hand man for many years, knew these accusations were false.
