Spoiler:

History: Rock is the son of the most noteworthy crime lord in Southtown, Geese Howard. Although he knew of his father's existence, he grew up living a modest life with his mother in a small apartment. He often wondered about his father and was excited at the prospect of someday meeting him. When Rock was seven, his mother contracted a mysterious disease and he tried his best to nurse her to health. As her illness worsened, Rock went to Geese Tower and met his father for the first time in his life. Though the boy pleaded for medical aid and told him that Marie desperately wanted to see him, Geese would have nothing to do with the matter and sent him away. Marie died the same night and Rock has had a grudge against his father ever since.

A year later, Rock meets Terry, who finally settled his vendetta against Geese. Rather than hate his father's enemy, he felt a complicated mix of loneliness and joy knowing that his father died. Since Terry left the scene soon after, the boy followed him and attended his street fights. Rock angrily charged at him once after learning about his father's death. After their scuffle, Terry quietly accepts him and they begin their travels together.

As the years go by, Rock becomes a formidable fighter, due in no small part to having been trained by Terry. Approximately ten years after Geese's death, Second Southtown was established. During this time, a new King of Fighters tournament arose dubbed Maximum Mayhem, which Rock decides to join to search for his purpose in life.

By the end of the tournament, Rock finds his final opponent is Kain R. Heinlein, who reveals himself to be both the host and Rock's uncle. Upon winning, Rock discovered that the tournament was orchestrated by Kain to bring Rock to him. Kain, aware that Geese Howard's will held presumably valuable secrets but unable to discover them without assistance, won Rock's aid in working through the document by offering information regarding Rock's mother—whom Kain claimed was still alive. Terry accepts Rock's decision to become Kain's new partner, with Rock promising to return.

In his development blog for KOF: Maximum Impact 2, Ureshino states that he doesn't know about Rock's mother or the true inheritor of Geese's legacy but hints that it would most likely conflict with Terry. Rock's scenario in this game explores his personal take on the character's actions in the yet to be released Mark of Wolves sequel.


Personality:

Rock is a shy young man with an inner struggle. Every day, Rock fights off his evil side and tries to get out of the shadow of his father. He isn't proud of his heritage and refuses to refer to Geese as his father, stating him to be "that man" or "that person". He's the middle term between Geese's excessive evil and Terry's excessive festive personality. Rock is also a very compassionate man, offering to help those in need (he offered to help Hotaru Futaba find her brother). He is also a childhood friend of Kim's sons.
Powers:

* Gather Chi: Rock can gather chi energy from Gaia, the mother-earth.

* Sense: Rock can sense the presence of people nearby.

* Energy Projectile: Rock can fire a projectile of energy called Repuuken, just like his father's. He can even use the Double Repuuken.

* Energy Attack: Rock can use chi energy to increase the damage of his normal attacks (punches, kicks,...). He uses this power in a similar fashion Terry does and sometimes, the energy takes the form of wings.

* Energy Geyser: By touching the ground with his hands, Rock can make a geyser of energy come from below the ground. He called this attack Raging Storm. Rock's Raging Storm differs from Geese because Rock's version is weaker.

Skills:

* Acrobatics: Taught by Terry, Rock is proficient in acrobatics. His move Rising Tackle is an example of this.

* Musical Instrument: Rock is a very skillful bass player.

* Motorcycle Driving: Rock likes to drive around Second Southtown with his Honda.
