Shao Kahn

Shao Kahn, the Emperor of Outworld, first appears as a conqueror seeking to merge Earthrealm with Outworld through Mortal Kombat tournaments. He served as the advisor to the former ruler, Onaga, before usurping the throne. After centuries of expansion, he targets Earthrealm, repeatedly sending his champions to compete. Despite initial defeats, he invades Earthrealm directly, prompting a desperate defense by its warriors.
