Overcome with pride for his victory, he yelled something like "i`m the GOAT, suck it, bit*es! Elder gods, com`ere and i`ll kick your sorry asses too!" (freely translated, but accurate in vibes) - and the gods cursed him with ridiculously fast aging, because they`re petty. Raiden abandonded him, because he consulted the elder gods and they said so. That`s when Shao Kahn approached him and made an offer he couldn`t turn down: teaching sorcery to be able rejunevate himself regularly (by slurping souls of others) in exchange for a service - being champion for the Outworld in MK and Shao`s right hand. He ruled MK undefeated untill great Kung Lao appeared, 10 MK cycles later.

So maybe and just maybe, he was a sort of decent guy, or at least not this grade of evil, before resorting to the con selling because it was the easiest way to survive in Outworld, and since that place is way more savage, dangerous and ruthless that Earthrealm, I can't totally blame the methods used.

      True, but there's some reason for her to be in this game and MK. Like getting one new character who, we know much of Power and reasons for her action, played some role in MK history that creates a point question about the world of MK. Like...
      Who is She?
      Why she did it, really?
      It's like to create a character who have some role in the world of MK.
