Before his death, Scorpion was part of a Japanese Ninja clan. His clan was the rival of the Lin Kuei, a clan based in China. Before the Shaolin tournament, Scorpion was hired by Quan Chi to retrieve the map showing the location of Shinnok's amulet. What he didn't know was that Sub-Zero of the Lin Kuei was hired as well. The two fought at the Shaolin temples in China, and Scorpion was killed by Sub-Zero. His family and all that was left of his clan were destroyed by Quan Chi as payment to the Lin Kuei. Scorpion's soul became lost in the Netherrealm. There he stayed and wished for vengeance against Sub-Zero. Scorpion blamed Sub-Zero for his own death and the death of his family, not knowing of Quan Chi's involvement. Finally, Scorpion was given an opportunity. Quan Chi had his own reasons to hate Sub-Zero, so he offered to allow Scorpion to leave the Netherrealm as a spectre and get revenge against Sub-Zero. The only condition would be that he would one day have to do a favor for Quan Chi. Scorpion wanted revenge badly enough to accept. He followed Sub-Zero to the Mortal Kombat tournament, and murdered him. Later, Scorpion got word that Sub-Zero was still alive. He didn't think it possible but tracked him into the Outworld anyway. There he found the younger brother of the Sub-Zero he had killed. The reality of what he had done hit him. He had taken this honorable warrior's brother the way his family was taken. To atone for this act, Scorpion vowed to protect the younger Sub-Zero. His protection was the reason Sub-Zero was able to survive the threat of the Lin Kuei cyberninjas as well as the Outworld warriors. However, as this new tournament is beginning, Quan Chi calls in the favor Scorpion owes him for the release from the Netherrealm years ago. Scorpion has no choice but to fight on the side of the Netherrealm.
