To be more correct Iori Yagami is the primary rival of the protagonist of the first three or four King of Fighters games. He is actually less powerful than the main character, since he has lost every figt they have ever had. He has the power to summon flames with his bloodline granted martial arts style but, because his ancestors made a deal with the god of chaos and destruction a hundred years ago, his power is cursed and his flames appear in hues of purple. They also cause him immense pain to use (this often manifests as blood he spits up).
Because of his families connections to the god of chaos and death Iori's power occasionally drives him insane, a process known as the Riot of the Blood. In this form he's more powerful than normal (how much more is uncertain but it is significant).
Iori really isn't as much of a psychopath as people think he is. He only really wants to kill Kyo (his rival) and pretty much cares about nothing else aside from that. It should be noted that after the fourth KoF game they had Kyo move on and even change his character desin to indicate that he was no longer a high school student. They kept Iori in his "deliquent schoolboy" outfit. however. Read into that what you will.
Oh, and recently Iori was punked and his powers stolen by the gayest character in all of KoF, Ash Crimson. And I don't mean that in a derogatory way. Ash is more gay than Captain Jack.
