Шао Кан
Kotal Kahn is the emperor of Outworld in "Mortal Kombat X" and "Mortal Kombat 11". He is an Osh-Tekk, an Aztec-inspired species whose powers originate from the sun, and wields a macuahuitl as his primary weapon. Embroiled in a civil war against Mileena in "Mortal Kombat X", he receives support from the Earthrealm warriors, but turns against them due to D'Vorah's deception. Kotal Kahn later leads an invasion of Earthrealm, which is driven back by the Lin Kuei. In "Mortal Kombat 11", his rule is threatened by the return of Shao Kahn. After Shao Kahn cripples him, he names Kitana the new ruler of Outworld. He does not appear during the battle against Kronika in the original story mode, but "Aftermath" sees him participate after his injures heal; he is killed by Shao Kahn in a surprise attack.
