Originally training under the Crane Hermit, a rival of Master Roshi, Tien Shinhan started out as a fierce rival of Goku and Krillin, students of Roshi's Turtle School. After realizing how wicked the Crane Hermit was, Tien and his best friend, Chiaotzu, would change their allegiance to Roshi and Goku, becoming even more powerful fighters than they would have under their former teacher and using their powers to protect the Earth in its times of need.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tien is a well-rounded fighter who can break through his opponents' defenses with the help of Chiaotzu. He also possesses two different versions of his Tri-Beam super attack, one of which can deal tremendous damage if he is willing to risk his life to do so.
