“Emperor Shao Kahn's lust for power is matched only by his ruthlessness. Millenia ago he overthrew Onaga as ruler of Outworld and has conquered many other realms since.”

“Shao Kahn rose to power in the Outworld, usurping the realm of Edenia from Kitana's parents and taking Queen Sindel for his bride. Then she killed herself.”

“Eventually, he turned his attention to Earthrealm. The Mortal Kombat tournament prevents him from taking the realm by force, but if Shao Kahn's champions win 10 consecutive tournaments, Earthrealm will be his. As long as his champions Shang Tsung and Shokan Prince Goro do not fail him, he will be victorious.”

“Now, Sindel is reborn. And since Shang Tsung failed to win Earthrealm through the Mortal Kombat tournament, her rebirth is the means by which Shao Kahn will finally seize the realm.”
