Reptile is a member of a long extinct race. Reptile's race thrived once in their own realm until Shao Kahn entered it. Kahn was responsible for killing all but a few of the lizard-like people. However, that fact has been kept from everyone living in Outworld, including Reptile. Reptile served once as a bodyguard for Shang Tsung. At that time he wore a green outfit, modeled after the type worn by many of Earth's ninja clans, which concealed his reptilian form. After the loss of the Shaolin tournament, Reptile traveled back to Outworld with Shang Tsung. He was chosen to compete in the Outworld tournament, but insisted on also continuing in his role as Tsung's protector. After the Outworld tournament was over, Shao Kahn began his invasion of Earth. Reptile was of course part of the fighting force. However, when princess Kitana escaped to the Earth realm, he was sent with Jade to find her. Reptile didn't put much effort into the hunt, because he was preparing to help Shang Tsung implement a plan to overthrow Kahn, and place Tsung as Earth's ruler instead. The plan was never executed, since Kahn was instead defeated by the Earth warriors. Reptile didn't make it back to Outworld with his allies. Instead he ended up in Edenia, wandering. With no way of getting back to Outworld, he was still in Edenia when Shinnok freed himself of the Netherrealm. Looking for allies, Quan Chi approached Reptile. He told Reptile about the genocide Shao Kahn conducted that wiped out nearly all of his race. And he gave him a promise. Quan Chi told Reptile that Shinnok could do what Shao Kahn had not, restore Reptile's race to it's former glory. Reptile had nowhere else to go, and agreed to join Shinnok and Quan Chi. Now unmasked, Reptile prepares himself for this new tournament.
