Abel's plotline and history for Street Fighter 4

After being saved from a burning lab by the commander of a mercenary group, Abel woke severely injured and with a case of amnesia.

The commander looked after the young Frenchman and became a father-like figure.

Before the commander's passing, he told Abel that the lab he was found in was actually the former base for Shadaloo and he should be wary of the crime organization.

Now out on his own with his amnesia still haunting him, Abel works with Chun Li to investigate the rumors surrounding the presumably destroyed Shadaloo syndicate, using his mixed martial arts combat to enter the new fighting tournament.
