Generally a pacifist, Dhalsim fights to raise money for his village, but realizes that it might contradict his pacifist beliefs.
Dhalsim has the power to suspend himself in midair, stretch his extremities in ways beyond the average human, breathe fire, read minds, and sense evil, the latter abilities he uses to locate the sinister Bison, and doing his part to aid those who can defeat the villain.
He retired from fighting after the second World Warrior tournament, and continued to roam the world helping those in need.
