Goro is a member of a race known as Shokan. The Shokan are a subterranian race who are highly respected in Outworld, except by their natural enemies the Centaurians. Goro gained fame in Outworld for his role in Kahn's takeover of Edenia. Kahn was convinced of Goro's abilities, so he sent him to Earth with Shang Tsung to win it's Mortal Kombat so that he could take over Earth as well. In one tournament, Goro became the new Mortal Kombat champion by defeating a monk named Kung Lao. The new champion held his title for thousands of years, winning more victories for Outworld. However, on the verge of winning the final victory, Goro was beaten by Liu Kang. Goro was humiliated and returned to Outworld. Most people believed that he had died during the Shaolin tournament. He let them believe that and went into hiding. Honor is very important to Shokan, and Goro felt he had no right fighting anymore after being beaten by a human. He remained in hiding during the Outworld tournament and Shao Kahn's invasion of Earth. When Kahn is defeated and is driven back into Outworld, he follows up on rumors that Goro is still living and tracks him down. Because Goro is the former champion, the rules of Mortal Kombat allow him, and only him, the right to enter the Outworld in the new tournament between Earth and Netherrealm. Kahn offers to make Goro general of Outworld's armies despite his dishonor if he enters the Outworld in the tournament. Goro accepts. All this time Goro has been improving his skills and decides he is finally ready to take the title of Mortal Kombat champion back from Liu Kang.
