Twelve is one of
many prototypes for a new line of fabricated mutants that can't be permanently
harmed and has no memory. It was entered into the tournament to try it's
effectiveness. Twelve is the ultimate result of Gill's
"G-Project," a biological warfare operation overseen by Dr. Kure and Urien
after the completion
of Necro. It appears Twelve considers
Urien to be his father.
Eleven is an earlier prototype of Twelve.
A mimetic genetic creation, Twelve is able to assume the
forms of other people and change the shape of any part of his body to fit the
task at hand. Twelve was also supposed to exterminate Necro,
but that didn't happen. For some reason, Twelve is only capable of expressing
himself in a binary code cypher (00001 = A, 00010 = B, etc).

At first glance in 1999,
I didn't think Twelve really "fit in" to the Street Fighter series, as SFIII
didn't really need another 'oddball' design. However, Twelve turned out
to be a really interesting & effective character thanks to his incredible animation, interesting moves, and the fact that he/it can change into every other 3rd Strike character and use their full moveset (minus supers), similar to Shang
Tsung from Mortal Kombat. Like all other SFIII characters, Twelve's character sprite is a triumph of 2D animation... with Twelve performing so many "other-worldly" movements and morphing abilities.
Love him or hate him, Twelve is an original and memorable fighting game character. While visually lacking excitement in his default form in some ways, Twelve packs a punch and is a really fun character to use if you're into playing SFIII: 3rd Strike. Also worth pointing out is the way Twelve mimics the other
characters' voices after he morphs into them. Another small attention to detail and aspect that makes him entertaining as hell!
