Tekken

Lee Chaolan is the adopted son of Heihachi Mishima, who adopted Lee to be the rival of Heihachi's biological son Kazuya Mishima. From childhood, he went through similar training to Kazuya (he was also raised to be the heir of the Mishima Zaibatsu, although while Heihachi personally taught Kazuya how to fight, he sent Lee to America, where he trained with Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix), and their combat skills can be considered equal, although those who know of his power refer to him as "Silver-haired Demon". Lee entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament, in hopes of winning to and to claim the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Tekken 2

Lee Chaolan failed in winning the previous tournament, and was not successful in claiming the Mishima Zaibatsu. The winner of the last tournament and new Mishima Zaibatsu owner was Lee's foster brother Kazuya, who gave Lee a job at the Mishima Zaibatsu. Lee's duties included being the head of Kazuya's personal bodyguards and to supervise Dr. Boskonovitch's project of creating the ultimate military animal for Kazuya.

Despite these important roles in the company, Lee was still considered Kazuya's "secretary", and with the announcement of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Lee once again saw his chance to claim the Mishima Zaibatsu, and entered the tournament.

In Lee's non-canonical Tekken 2 ending cinematic, we see Lee sitting behind his desk (with a blimp flying outside in the background with his name on it). We then see Kazuya and Heihachi, Lee's adoptive brother and father, behind bars, presumably captured. Lee then gives a thumbs down gesture, then turns his thumb horizontal and quickly moves it from one side of his throat to the other, presumably signifying that the two be killed.

Tekken 4

After Lee betrayed Heihachi and worked for Kazuya after Kazuya won the first tournament, Lee was fired from the Mishima Zaibatsu. Thoughts of revenge were constantly on Lee's mind for quite some time, but eventually he realized that it was pointless to kill an old man who Lee assumed only had a few years of life left at best. After this realization, Lee distanced himself from fighting and lived a more solitary life. However, one day he discovered a huge sell-off of G Corporation's stock online and Lee's intuition told him that something had happened within the company. His intuition would prove to be correct, as he learned that the Mishima Zaibatsu raided G Corporation and caused significant damage to their research facilities.

He also came across information that a new life for was under development by the Mishima Zaibatsu and would be completed by next year. However, it appeared that in order to create the life form they were missing a integral component. Oddly enough, an announcement was made for The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 around the same time Lee discovered this information. Immediately, Lee's passion for fighting was rekindled, along with his resentment towards the Mishima family.

Lee signed up for the tournament under a false name, Violet, in order to prevent the Mishima Zaibatsu from discovering his true identity (he also dyed his silver hair purple and wore new clothes and a pair of sunglasses).

In Lee's Tekken 4 ending video, a woman walks into Lee's office and tells him that the new prototype model of Combot (a robot that Lee had created, essentially Tekken 4's Mokujin) was completed. Lee says that this new one better work perfectly, and the woman goes on to say that combat experiments were conducted on Heihachi Mishima and that "10.23 seconds into the experiment, combat unleashed a 50 hit combination...Heihachi was completely helpless". Lee chuckles and says "excellent", as the video ends with Lee smiling, somewhat reminiscent of his Tekken 2 ending.

Tekken 5

Lee entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 in disguise, hoping to defeat Heihachi Mishima. He was surprised to find his opponent to be his brother, Kazuya Mishima, who Lee thought was killed by Heihachi about 20 years ago. Due to his surprise, Lee could not focus and was defeated. After he learned that Heihachi had died in the Hon-Maru explosion, Lee had plans of taking over the Mishima Zaibatsu, but was infuriated when he learned that someone had beaten him to it.

Believing it was Kazuya who had taken control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, was frustrated that Kazuya stood in his way once again. One month later, The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 was announced, and Lee immediately decided to enter, determined to settle the score with Kazuya and claim the Mishima Zaibatsu once and for all.

In Lee's non-canonical Tekken 5 ending cinematic, Lee is lying on a pool side chair, relaxing. Lee snaps his fingers and Heihachi, wearing a bathing suit hurries towards Lee, and asks if he can be of any service. Lee requests a drink, and as Heihachi walks off to carry out Lee's request, he mutters "Damn that bastard". Lee, apparently hearing this, says "You should hurry...if you don't want to die", as he picks up a remote device and presses the button on it. Many beeps come out of the bow-tie Heihachi is wearing, and he begins to panic as thoughts of the Hon-Maru explosion are shown, and Heihachi runs off saying "right away sir!", as Lee puts the device back down and chuckles.

Tekken 6

Lee Chaolan entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 assuming Kazuya Mishima had taken control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, as he hoped to defeat Kazuya and claim the Zaibatsu for himself. However, it was Kazuya's grandfather, Jinpachi Mishima, who had taken over control of the Zaibatsu. After learning this, Lee lost interest in the tournament and returned to his home in the Bahamas. Not long afterward, the Mishima Zaibatsu, led by Jin Kazama, brought the world to chaos, with G Corporation being its only major opposition. Surprised by G Corporations sudden military action, Lee, who was a major shareholder, conducted a private investigation in secrecy and discovered that it was Kazuya who was behind all of G Corporation's military action.

After the announcement of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, Lee learned that Kazuya would be participating and decided to enter the tournament in order to even his score with Kazuya.
