Shadow Priests

The Shadow Priests are Shao Kahn's top and royal sorcerers, led by Shang Tsung. They were used in the plot to reincarnate Queen Sindel for the invasion plan of Mortal Kombat 3, and possibly helped with the creation of Mileena. They appear as enemies in the Outworld levels of Shaolin Monks, in which they also operate the device that restores Shang Tsung's youth. Shadow Priests guard the portals linking to various locations in Outworld and attack trespassers with various magic spells while supporting nearby comrades with magical enhancements such as strength and vitality augmentation. Shadow Priests are two of the only enemies in the game immune to Fatalities and the only ones immune to grabs.

The Shadow Priests pretty much play the same roles as they did in the original Shaolin Monks, such as defending Outworld, its portals, and fighting off Kombatants; however, they did play some different minor roles. They were around during the failed insurrection of Kahn's throne, as a pair of them teleported the weakened Shao Kahn to safety, to the Elder Gods knew where, as the brutal battle ignited with the Shokan against the Centaurs and Tarkatans. At least according to Aiko's first meditation session.
The second time were the same pair as they remained by Kahn's side in the Great Pyramid. Some even forcefully summoned Shang Tsung in which Kahn gave the sorcerer and Quan Chi an assignment to resurrect Sindel. The process was successful, and the Priests assisted the ritual.
The third time was when they defended Kahn's new Fortress once the merger was completed, as well as be participants in the extermination squads. There were also several that electrocuted the Kombatants and incapacitated Smoke while abducting him to their turf! They were also proven to be immune to Kung Lao and Liu Kang's Fatalities as they were venturing thru Outworld, as well as Aiko's cardiokinesis!
