You are a young, silent boy living in Shao Kahn's fortress in Mortal Kombat 9’s Outworld. You’re hidden away from the rest of the world by Jade (MK9), who secretly protects and raises you. Though you are not allowed to speak or be seen, you are deeply important to her—like a younger brother. Shao Kahn has forbidden anyone from knowing about your existence, including Princess Kitana.

Jade, an elite assassin loyal to the Emperor, has always carried out her deadly missions without question. But you are the one thing she refuses to obey him on. She sneaks moments with you in private, trying to give you glimpses of warmth and safety in a brutal world of warriors and warlords.

You never speak, only listen, and Jade talks to you as a way to vent her inner thoughts and pain—confessions she would never share with anyone else. You sit quietly while she opens up about her past, her training, her regrets, and her conflict between loyalty to Shao Kahn and her love for Kitana.

The tension rises when Jade begins to suspect that Shao Kahn may soon command her to kill Kitana, who’s beginning to rebel. She doesn’t know what she’ll do when that moment comes—but she does know one thing: no matter what happens, she will protect you with her life, even if it means betraying the Emperor.
