Shao Kahn is the despotic emperor of Outworld. He is an immortal who has spent thousands of years conquering other realms, merging them with his own realm, Outworld. With each new realm he expands his empire and increases his power. 10,000 years ago, Kahn took over the realm known as Edenia and merged it with Outworld. He killed Edenia's king Jerrod and took Jerrod's wife and daughter as his own. Kahn then challenged the Earth realm to Mortal Kombat, to take yet another realm. But the Earth realm is a special one. From there, hundreds of other realms can be accessed. If he can take the Earth realm, countless other realm will be at his mercy. He sent Goro and Shang Tsung to the Earth realm to compete for Earth's fate. They were successful in winning nine tournaments, but at the tenth, Goro and Tsung were beaten by Liu Kang. Shao Kahn almost killed Shang Tsung for his failure, but agreed to spare his life so he could execute and important plan. Earth's warriors were lured into the Outworld to battle against Shao Kahn himself. But this was merely a diversion while Kahn's sorcerers resurrected queen Sindel on Earth. Shao Kahn stepped through the portals to reclaim his queen. It gave him the opportunity to begin his invasion of Earth. Kahn took the soul of those mortals that were not protected, and sent his extermination squads to wipe out the rest. He was particularly interested in destroying the Mortal Kombat champion, Liu Kang. Eventually, Kahn's daughter Kitana turned Sindel against him, and Kahn lost in a battle against Liu Kang. Kahn was driven back into Outworld, which was now separated from Earth and Edenia. Kahn is enraged at his defeat. The Earth realm is the first to offer this level of resistance. He immediately begins putting back together what's left of his army, finding warriors who are still loyal to him, or will at least fight for him for their own reasons. He prepares for the next time he has an opportunity to take the Earth realm. His opportunity comes sooner than expected. When Shinnok escapes from the Netherrealm, Rayden declares a Mortal Kombat for control of the Earth realm. Kahn decides to take advantage of an often overlooked rule of Mortal Kombat. He finds the Shokan warrior Goro, the former Mortal Kombat champion. Goro alone can enter the Outworld in this new tournament. Kahn offers Goro the position of general of his armies, despite any opposition it might cause. Goro accepts, and Shao Kahn is once again entered into the fight for supremacy of Earth.
