FEATURES:
Xanadu and Il Marchese.
Who are they?
Xanadu is a King of Fighters character.
He is described as a fighter, a religious extremist, a leader.
He's considered a master.
Though he seems to be insane, Xanadu is considered by others and himself a 'superior intellectual' who talks about subjects and concepts that are supposedly very difficult for most people to understand.
His characteristic feature is to "see the light".
Il Marchese is a Pro Wrestler and a martial artist, trained by Dory Funk jr. and Osamu Nishimura.
He fights using the gimmick of a religious extremist and he's the leader of "The Cult of Light" stable.
He's the father of italian Pro Wrestling so he's considered a master too.
Pretty famous for his crazy behavior during the matches: he "sees the light".
Besides Pro Wrestling Il Marchese is a cultured man, with many academic qualifications.
Another interesting fact:
Xanadu seems to have some interest in Physics:
in his fact sheet we read that he likes Vortexes and dislikes Big Rip (a cosmological hypothesis about the ultimate fate of the universe).
Il Marchese has a degree in Astrophysics.
Not only! He just called some of his trademark moves Vortexes and Big Rip!

They share many mystical ideas, including an aversion to money and the belief that traveling is useful (as we can see in an interview of Il Marchese and in the ending of Xanadu).
