Characters
Apep Apep has only appeared in one Mortal Kombat game thus far; Mortal Kombat: Deception. He was a semi-important character throughout the beginning of the game's Konquest mode, guiding Shujinko to Master Bo' Rai Cho's dojo locations, and giving him various hints. However, Apep is not seen again past the initial village in which the player starts. Mortal Kombat: Deception is the latest game in the controversial and bloody Mortal Kombat video game series by Midway. ...

Bo Rai Cho is a character in the fictional Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...
Apep is approximately Shujinko's age at the beginning of Konquest mode, and is apparently also a student to Bo' Rai Cho. Although Apep's overall involvement with the game was minimal, there were rumors upon his initial appearance in the game's trailers that he would possibly be more involved with the game later on. Coupled with the fact that his name comes from the malicious serpent beast of Egyptian Mythology, it was assumed that he would be responsible for the deception hinted in the game's title, turning against Shujinko. However, as of the end of Deception, none of this has appeared to be true. For the Cypriot football team, see APEP Kyperounda FC. An Egyptian deity wards off the snake-like Apep [1] In Egyptian mythology, Apep (also spelled Apepi, and Aapep, or Apophis in Greek) was an evil demon, the deification of darkness and chaos (isfet in Egyptian), and thus opponent of light...
Argus Argus is the most powerful of the Edenian Gods, as well as the father of Rain, Taven, and Daegon who appears in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Due to visions of a future apocalypse caused by the growing number of fighters spawned from the tournament, as seen by his wife Delia, Argus was charged by the Elder Gods to come up with a solution to prevent this from happening. Originally he planned to simply kill the kombatants, but Delia protested to this, pointing out that "some were heroes, undeserving of death". His solution: a contest between his sons. They would race each other to the top of his pyramid and defeat the firespawn of his wife's creation, Blaze, with the mystical weapons and armors that he and Delia had given them to find. With Blaze's defeat, depending on which one of the brothers defeated him, not only would they gain full godhood and replace Argus as Protector of Edenia, but the excess energies from Blaze would siphon through their armor and either kill or nullify the power of the other kombatants, preventing their fighting energies from tearing the realms apart. Argus created several obelisks for his sons to train in on their journeys, where he and Delia had left their images in. Argus and Delia were supposedly killed by Daegon shortly after their son's premature revival. However, Argus himself narrates all of the characters' endings, suggesting otherwise. Daegon's own ending reveals both of them may still be alive.[1] Rain is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Since a void has been left amongst the seats of the Elder Gods with Shinnok's banishment, Raiden was eventually chosen to succeed him. However, later on Raiden relinquished his position in order to save the Earthrealm. Argus too has been appointed by the Elder gods to take up this position, which is why he intended for one of his sons to take his place as the Protector God of Edenia. Shinnok is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Classic Sub-Zero Classic Sub-Zero was a playable character in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat Trilogy and was initially believed to be the live representation of the deceased original Sub-Zero. His biography screen is almost identical to the younger Sub-Zero's in Mortal Kombat II; it states that, though believed killed in the first Mortal Kombat, he is thought to have returned to try and assassinate Shang Tsung.[2] However, his ending reveals that upon removing his mask that he is "a warrior who has long been missing from a previous Mortal Kombat, and one who will return in the fourth tournament."[3] Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is a fighting game in the Mortal Kombat series, released in arcades in 1995. ...

It is most likely that this character was just an excuse to use all the known ninja swaps, or that fans wanted to play as Sub-Zero in his ninja form. It should also be noted that many character endings in Mortal Kombat games do not occur as canon as the storyline progresses, so Classic Sub-Zero's ending may mean nothing at all. The Mortal Kombat: Armageddon: Prima Official Game Guide, released long after Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and the revelation that Noob Saibot is the original Sub-Zero, states that Classic Sub-Zero's place in the game has no bearing on the story and that he is, in fact, Noob Saibot.[4]
Delia Delia is the mother of Taven and Daegon who appears in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. She is referred to as a Lady of Fire, which is presumably where her sons' abilities stem from.[5] Delia is a powerful Edenian sorceress who can see into the future. Her visions of an impending Armageddon prompted for her husband, Argus, to create a plan in which their sons would be kept in incubation for many years until the time for their quest to begin. Delia created the firespawn Blaze to sound the call to awaken the two warriors as well as to be defeated in battle in order to decide the fate of the rest of the fighters.[6] She also placed her image into obelisks created by her husband in order to train her sons while they continued on their journey. Argus and Delia were supposedly killed by Daegon shortly after their son's premature revival. However, Daegon's own ending reveals both of them may still be alive.[1] Taven is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Earth God The Earth God is an unnamed boss from Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. He was one of four guardian gods assigned by Raiden to guard Shinnok's amulet in the Temple of Elements and acted as the god of earth in the Mortal Kombat universe.[7] His appearance was of an immense, slow-moving man made of rock. He could be beaten in traditional hand-to-hand combat or a chandelier could be made to fall on him. He was defeated by the elder Sub-Zero, allowing the ninja access to the water area of the temple.[8] âRaydenâ redirects here. ...

Giant Serpent Originally featured as a boss in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, the Giant Serpent was used by Reptile as a weapon within his lair. Reptile refers to the creature as his pet. It was eventually defeated by Liu Kang and Kung Lao. The creature later reappeared in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, but only as a statue seen in the background of Reptile's Lair. According to unlockable concept art available in the game's Krypt, the Giant Serpent was once intended to be alive in the arena[11] featured as a death trap that would eat any players who were knocked into its mouth. However, the artwork's description states, "the great serpent died before the game was finished and a statue was built in it's[sic] honor."[12] The many giant eggs surrounding the arena are described as being Giant Serpent eggs.[13] Reptile is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Great Kung Lao -
The Great Kung Lao is a character occasionally referenced in the game series and featured in the television show Mortal Kombat: Conquest. He is the ancestor of the present-day Kung Lao. Representing the Order of Light, the Great Kung Lao had defeated Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat, saving Earthrealm 500 years before Liu Kang would do the same. He would later be defeated by Goro after Shang Tsung had corrupted the tournament, an event that would lead up to the events of the first arcade game.

Hornbuckle In Mortal Kombat II, Hornbuckle is the name fans have given to the character opposite Blaze in the background of the Pit II stage. Upon closer inspection, it is clear that "Hornbuckle" is nothing more than a palette swap of the sprite used for Liu Kang in the main game, wearing pants with a green trim and a green headband rather than Liu Kang's normally red-colored outfit.[14] The name Hornbuckle comes from the hints that Jade and Smoke, two secret characters in the game, would randomly give before matches. Ed Boon once referred to the character as Liu Kang.[15] Mortal Kombat II (also referred to as MKII) is an arcade game and the second title in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

One of Jade's hints was "Hornbuckle Who?" This was a reference to someone named Leanne Hornbuckle who appeared in the credits for Mortal Kombat II. However, fans intepreted this as the name of the character in the background. The character in the background of the Pit II stage was later added to Blaze's storyline, presumed to be one of the "holy men" who captured and forced him to guard the Dragon King's egg.[16] Hornbuckle appears in Shaolin Monks during the fifth quest given by Smoke. The Pit II area shows Hornbuckle and Blaze sparring in the background.
Jataaka Jataaka is one of the sub-bosses in Shinnok's Fortress in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow. She is one of three assassins serving under Quan Chi and Shinnok, along with Sareena and Kia. They each protected a crystal which, when combined together, allowed access to a teleportation device that sent the elder Sub-Zero to Quan Chi's throne room. Judging from Sareena's story, she also may be a demon from the Netherealm using Quan Chi's magic to sustain her attractive human form.[17] Jataaka fights using a laser sword from which she can fire blue bolts of energy.[8] She was defeated by the elder Sub-Zero. Jataaka is played by Rachel Herbert in-game and by fitness instructor Erica Grace during the FMVs.

Jerrod Jerrod, also spelled as Jerod, is a minor character occasionally referenced in the character Sindel's backstory. He is described as once being the King of Edenia before he was defeated and killed by Shao Kahn after Edenia's finest warriors lost in Mortal Kombat.[7] He was succeeded by his wife, Queen Sindel, and his only daughter, Princess Kitana, who were both captured by Kahn.[18] His physical appearance is unknown as it has never been clearly shown in-game, but because he was from Edenia, it is assumed he was humanlike and had lived for a very long time. It is of note, however, that a beheaded statue can be found in the Edenia realm in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode. The face appears to be of a bearded man. When the player talks to nearby NPCs, they will state, "The statue is of King Jerrod, who ruled Edenia many thousands of years ago." In Sindel's Mortal Kombat: Armageddon ending, Jerrod is referenced once again. In it, she uses her newfound powers as a goddess to resurrect her husband.[19] Sindel (or Queen Sindel by title) is a video game character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Monster Monster is a minor character voiced by Ed Boon who appears in Mortal Kombat: Deception during the game's Konquest mode. The protagonist Shujinko encounters him inside the Nexus, where Monster claims to be the true champion of the Elder Gods and challenges Shujinko to Mortal Kombat.[21] His name is only revealed through the character's health bar during the battle. Monster uses Scorpion's fighting styles and moves. After he is defeated, he is not seen again. When Shujinko questions Damashi shortly after regarding Monster, he claims ignorance of the fighter's identity.[22] Ed Boon, on a G4TV interview Ed Boon (born March 30, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois), along with John Tobias is a co-creator of the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Monster was originally going to be an alternate costume for Scorpion. It was his rumored "knight" outfit.[23] The developers felt that it didn't fit Scorpion, and that idea was scrapped. There is little known about the background of this character. He claims to be the Champion of the Elder Gods, but it is unknown who declared him this and how he learned of the title. It is possible that Damashi sent both Monster and Shujinko on the quest for the kamidogu just as Quan Chi sent Scorpion and Sub-Zero on the same quest in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. Monster is playable via an Action Replay code, which, if activated, will make him replace Scorpion. Quan Chi is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

No Face No Face was a member of the Black Dragon Organization. He was freed from prison by Kano in Mortal Kombat: Special Forces and later fights Jax as a level boss in an abandoned warehouse. Described as having an extensive knowledge of incendiary and explosive devices,[24] he wore sticks of dynamite strapped to his chest and uses a flame thrower as a weapon. He had no nose, ears or hair, and a pale complexion, hence his name.
One Being -
First introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception, the One Being is considered to be the origin of each of the Realms of Mortal Kombat (Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Outworld, Orderrealm, Chaosrealm, Edenia, and others yet to be mentioned in the storyline). According to ancient legend, in the beginning of time, there only existed the One Being and the Elder Gods. The One Being fed off of the essences of the Elder Gods, but eventually, the Elder Gods defeated the One Being, and, in efforts to weaken the One Being's omnipotence, the Elder Gods separated the One Being's consciousness into the realms and created six Kamidogu, which held the essence of the One Being. The legend decrees that if one were to obtain all six Kamidogu with the Sacred Amulet, he or she would be granted ultimate power. The One Being is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Although the storyline of Deception would seem to hint that the One Being would be the villain of the next title, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, this was later proven false, as Blaze would end up as the final boss in this game. The One Being is only mentioned twice in Armageddon: once in a passing statement about the kombatants "tapping into the power that make the realms", which may or may not refer to the One Being, and more directly by name during Kai's game ending.

According to the game's Konquest mode, Caro somehow lost telepathic contact with Blaze sometime shortly after the two brothers were entombed, and, mistaking this for the signal the fire elemental would use as the call to Armageddon's arrival and the beginning of their quest, awoke Daegon prematurely. Daegon, enraged at the trickery of his parents, seemingly killed them and enslaved Caro, using his name and likeness as the basis for the Red Dragon clan, his ability to create portals to transport his troops anywhere in the realms, and his DNA to create a race of half-human dragon creatures. He was freed from his servitude by Taven, and despite his weakened state, took his revenge on Daegon by destroying his precious Red Dragon clan and headquarters. His final fate is unknown, though in Taven's ending Quan Chi is said to have killed Caro. Blaze is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Takeda Takeda was a Japanese-born ninja who served as an assassin for the Lin Kuei clan many years ago. He attempted to leave the China-based clan and return to his homeland, but leaving the Lin Kuei is the equivalent of treason and is punishable by death. He fled to his homeland in Japan. He returned and served various lords and generals using the skills he learned in the Lin Kuei. The Lin Kuei is a fictional faction from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

He taught modified versions of Lin Kuei tactics and even revealed many of their secrets. Many of his skills and techniques were soon copied and learned throughout Japan, eventually evolving into the art of Ninjitsu. Unlike the Lin Kuei, the art of Ninjitsu involves the use of weapons and supernatural powers that can be mastered by any human with enough practice. This outraged the Lin Kuei back on mainland China. His practice in Japan eventually formed the Shirai Ryu clan, a tremendous rival to the Lin Kuei. His clan mocked the Lin Kuei by dressing in similar fashion but wearing yellow. This made Takeda a prime target for assassination. Takeda managed to elude death at the Lin Kuei's hand until his elder years, when his life came to an end through poison slipped into his tea.

Tremor In Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, Tremor appeared as a brown ninja who escaped from Special Forces custody during a prison break orchestrated by Kano, to whom he is described as being blindly loyal.[24] He is a boss for one level, guarding a portal to Outworld. Extremely muscular, he was able to create earthquakes in the ground by punching it (similar to Jax), and also had the ability to fire a three-directional fireball. Tremor was originally planned to be in Mortal Kombat Trilogy at one point, but for unknown reasons was replaced in favor of Rain, who had already appeared in the 16-bit console versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.[25] Tremor can still be seen in the game's instruction manual, incorrectly labeled as Ermac, depicted as an orange ninja along with Rain's original bio (which he evidently inherited with slight alterations, being from the Lin Kuei but working for the Black Dragon rather than Shao Kahn).[26] Both can be seen here. Rumors have persisted for the character's inclusion in the main fighting series of MK games from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance[27] up to Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Despite fan interest in the possibility of him making an appearance in Armageddon, Tremor was confirmed by a Midway representative on the company's official discussion forum as not being present in the game.[28] Johnny Cage performing his shadow kick while Raiden sends a lighting bolt Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a fighting game developed and produced by Midway. ...

Water God The Water God was an unnamed boss from Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. He was one of four guardian gods assigned by Raiden to guard Shinnok's amulet in the Temple of Elements and acted as the god of water in the Mortal Kombat universe.[7] He possessed the ability to fire jets of water and teleport. He was defeated by the elder Sub-Zero, allowing the ninja access to the fire area of the temple.[8] âRaydenâ redirects here. ...

In the official Mortal Kombat 4 comic that came with the PC version of said game, the younger Sub-Zero attempts to make peace with the temple guardians, but discovers that they are gone.[9] This could indicate that the Water God was killed by Shinnok during his invasion, an idea further substantiated by Fujin's Mortal Kombat 4 biography screen stating that he and Raiden are among the few surviving Earthrealm gods.[10] Mortal Kombat 4 (1997) was the last game in the Mortal Kombat series to have an arcade version. ...

Wu Lae Wu Lae is the leader of the Tengu clan located in Arctika. He uses a scythe in battle. His clan is a rival to the nearby Lin Kuei, but the two share an uneasy truce in which the Tengu remain out of the Lin Kuei's territory. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Konquest mode, Wu Lae's clan attacks Taven, assuming him to be related to two other invaders that they had encountered earlier. After Taven defeats the entire clan, Wu Lae cedes his attack, realizing his error. He then directs Taven to the Lin Kuei temple that he had been searching for. At this point, the player has the option of performing a fatality on Wu Lae. Although not necessary, doing so will unlock an alternate costume in the game.[29] The Tengu clan are a fictional clan of ninjas in the game Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. ...

Enemy types The Keepers Mentioned in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, these are the many beings that the elder Sub-Zero must pass in order to reach Shinnok's Temple in the Netherealm. Most of the Keepers are robotic enemies with various weaponry (circular buzz saw, chain gun, flame throwers), and one rides a beast that spews fire. They are found on the Bridge of Immortality as well as in the Prison of Souls. The instruction manual for the game states that these beings were specifically created by Shinnok to battle his former enemies inside the realm.[30] Concept art for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon depicted hellish beings also referred to as "The Keepers" that would have inhabited the game's Konquest mode.[31] However, they did not make it into the finished version, so it is unknown of these two entities are related. Shinnok is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Living Trees The Living Trees have appeared in several Mortal Kombat fighting games, and some spinoffs. They first appeared in Mortal Kombat II as a forest of trees with faces that occasionally roared. This background also appeared in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and as a 3D arena in Mortal Kombat 4, Gold, and Deception. Deception's Konquest mode allowed the player to venture into a forest of Living Trees, though the player could not interact with them. For other uses, see Mortal Kombat. ...

Two interactive versions of the trees appeared in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. The first version was much like the trees-with-faces design found in the earlier games, though it was capable of being fed enemies. The second version were more anthropomorphic, capable of grabbing characters and NPCs and throwing them around. The ability for the Living Trees to eat enemies was added as a response to a long-standing rumor dating back to Mortal Kombat II that said the trees were involved in a stage fatality doing just that.[32] An NPC from the video game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. ...
Masked Guards The masked guards are a group of (apparently human) royal protectors to Shang Tsung and later to Shao Kahn. They appeared in the background for Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat: Deception, and are more prominently featured in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. A dead masked guard is seen in the opening shot of the Mortal Kombat: Armageddon introduction video. John Vogel played the masked guards seen in the original Mortal Kombat arcade game.[33] Shang Tsung (last name pronounced sung or soong) is a video game character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

The Shadow Priests are Shao Kahn's top sorcerers, led by Shang Tsung. They were used in the plot to reincarnate Queen Sindel for the invasion plan of Mortal Kombat 3, and possibly helped with the creation of Mileena.

In the series Mortal Kombat: Conquest, the Shadow Priests appear as invincible magical bodies and are among the few to remain loyal to Shao Kahn. They are expert martial artists as well as mages. While shown as superior to all mortals, they failed to stand against Raiden. Unlike in the games, they are far more powerful than Shang Tsung. âRaydenâ redirects here. ...
Concept characters The following have not actually appeared as characters in any of the games, but were planned at one stage to be included or are seen in concept art pictures hidden within them.
Belokk Belokk was a scrapped character who would have been in Mortal Kombat Gold but was cut from the final release.[34][35] He was created by Eurocom and, according to Ed Boon, was removed from the game as the developers did not have time to finish the character.[36] However, Eurocom accidentally sent information about the game with Belokk in it to Game Informer, and as a result, six screenshots of him reached the public in a preview.[37] Mortal Kombat Gold is a fighting game in the Mortal Kombat series. ...

Even though he was scrapped prior to the release of Gold, it was rumored that he was still in the game as a secret character. In the game, the player could choose alternate costumes for a character, and their icon on the select screen rotated to that costume. Other hidden characters in the game can be accessed and revealed in the character boxes of Shinnok (hidden Goro), Cyrax (hidden Sektor), and Reiko (hidden Noob Saibot). Tanya's character box reveals a question mark when rotated, and it was rumored that the mark was to represent Belokk, had he actually been in the game. Previous to this, the mark was written off as one of the many of glitches in Mortal Kombat Gold. Shinnok is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Herald Herald, or more properly "Moloch's Herald", is the name of Moloch's owl which carries his orb to raise Moloch from the ground. The BradyGames official Guide for Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as well as Koffin "MY" Kontent in the same game's Krypt includes a piece of conceptual art describing that the owl flies around the world carrying Moloch's orb, which contains its essence. Eventually the owl would let it fall and Moloch is raised from the ground that it touches, starting a rampage on that land. Once his time is complete, he disappears back into the ground. Herald then collects the orb and flies away, starting the circle anew. Due to the concept conflicting with Moloch's official profile, it could be considered a scrapped concept/idea. Moloch is a character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...
Zebron Zebron is a character concept seen in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. He is a tall anthropomorphic zebra dressed in a tuxedo. An image of him was originally posted on Ed Boon's official site before the release of Deadly Alliance. Known only as MK5 at the time, it was intended as a joke to mess with fans who were eagerly awaiting any information regarding the title. The creators then added this image to the actual game. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is a video game developed and produced by Midway. ...
For other uses, see Zebra (disambiguation). ...
In Deadly Alliance's Krypt, Koffin "ZE" contained Zebron's image, along with the comment that the developers would "never do a Zebra guy...or would we?" However, in Mortal Kombat Krypts, there are several of these concept sketches. Apparently the additional pieces of concept art are meant to reinforce the idea that the design team was actually considering making Zebron a playable character.
