Baraka belongs to a group of mutants living in Outworld's wastelands. His people are mutated versions of a race belonging to a forgotten realm conquered by Shao Kahn long ago. Most members of his race are shunned by the rest of Outworld and are forced to live in seclusion. Baraka was fortunate enough to have been noticed by one of Shao Kahn's generals and recruited into his army. He's valued by Kahn for his excellent fighting skills and has proven himself one of the greatest fighters in Outworld. Baraka's first taste of real battle was in the Outworld tournament. Baraka was chosen to lead an attack on Liu Kang's Shaolin temple in China in order to lure Liu Kang into the Outworld. Then, he was one of the warriors Kahn chose to fight in the Outworld tournament itself. He didn't do as well as some of Kahn's more seasoned warriors, but well enough that he got to play a key role in Kahn's occupation of Earth. After Kahn is driven out of Earth and Edenia, Baraka must choose whether or not to stay a member of Kahn's army. He finds that he's losing respect for Kahn, but since leaving would mean giving up his prestigious position and going back to life as an outcast, Baraka decides to fight for the Outworld in this new Mortal Kombat.
