==Summary==
Kan-Ra is a playable character introduced in Killer Instinct (2013). In ancient times he was the vizier of the king of Babylon, who plotted to overthrow the monarch and seize the throne for himself. But his plan was halted, and dark magicks were used to punish Kan-Ra and his allies. He was exiled and cursed, his ability to influence others gone forever. In a desperate struggle to break the curse, Kan-Ra sought out everyone who could help him, subjecting himself to dark spells and brutal treatments. His body slowly rotted away, utterly corrupted but now gifted with immortality.
Learning that Kan-Ra had survived, the king of Babylon sent Aganos after him, beginning a rivalry that extended across the ages, as the two were always unable to destroy each other. Always on the run, Kan-Ra travelled the world, securing positions with the rulers of city-states and kingdoms and expanding his powers and knowledge. After stealing Temperance and Vengeance from the city of Tyre, Kan-Ra crossed the ocean and reached the New World. There, he used the daggers to enslave the local tribes and rule as a tyrant for centuries.
The final confrontation between Kan-Ra and Aganos allowed the Night Guard, an Inca order of monster hunters, to capture the sorcerer, burn him alive and lock the ashes away. Centuries went by, until Ultratech raided the Citadel of Dawn and accidentally set Kan-Ra free. Combining magic and technology, he executed his ultimate plan: open a gateway to the Astral Plane and subjugate its forces. It was too late when he realized he had just been manipulated by the Shadow Lord Gargos. To face the invader, Kan-Ra joined forces with the Alliance, waiting for the incoming threat to be stopped and tip the scales in his favor.

|-|Temperance and Vengeance=
Ancient twin daggers stolen by Kan-Ra from the Phoenician city of Tyre in ancient times. He carried them for most of his life, and used their magicks to enslave the mindsKiller Instinct (2013) - Maya's Story Mode of Inca tribes centuries ago. Temperance and Vengeance were stolen from him when the Night Guard captured him, and eventually ended in Maya's possession.
|-|Ciphon=
A device constructed by using the technology of Ultratech and Glacius combined with Kan-Ra's necromantic incantations. It has the ability to drain, store and transfer to Kan-Ra the energy of his opponents. In this way Kan-Ra restored the power he had lost after centuries of dormancy, while making short work of several foes. 
The ciphon was even Aganos, absorbing massive amounts of power and leaving the golem temporarily unable to sustain himself, despite having access to unlimited energy thanks to his connection with the Astral Plane. Kan-Ra then used such power to open and stabilize a portal to the Astral Plane, unwilligly releasing the Shadow Lord Gargos. It is unknown what happened to the ciphon after this incident, and it doesn't seem to be in Kan-Ra's possession anymore.
|-|Relics=
Over the course of the centuries Kan-Ra has collected an outstanding amount of magical objects, which he keeps stored in his laboratory, although many of them have been stolen by the Night Guard 500 years ago. Almost the majority of them are unknown, but some notable examples include a relic that could return Sabrewulf the ability to speak and one which can grant eternal life.Killer Instinct (2013) - Shadow Lords

Intelligence: Genius (Possesses centuries worth of study and practice, which granted him vast knowledge of magic, science, history and combat, and is also a capable schemer and manipulator. Since he was exiled from Babylon, Kan-Ra travelled the Mediterranean and Africa, manipulating the rulers of city-states and kingdoms, unlocking powers tought lost to humanity and unveiling the mysteries of the universe and of other worlds. Knows a wide variety of magicks and utilizes them in many different ways for combat and other purposes. Learned from every magician, alchemist and mad hermit he could find, an example being the . Highly expert in regard to magical and alchemic objects from different eras, having collected massive amounts of relics and artifacts from time to time, some of which he is also able to craft, find or summon. Studied many arcane tomes, learning much about the Astral Plane and its inhabitants. Coordinated many of the missions undertaken by the Alliance. Not much time after being freed in modern times, and with no knowledge of the past 500 years, he managed to understand Glacius and Ultratech's technology, combining it with necromantic magic to create the ciphon, a device that neither of them would have been able to create. Developed his own fighting style, fought countless time with Aganos and could pose a threat to Maya and Kim Wu)
Weaknesses: Unable to reform himself and use his powers if his remains are confined in a tight space, such as a vault. Even though he can regenerate indefinitely, Kan-Ra's stamina isn't limitless and he can still be tired out.
Note: Kan-Ra's age, as well as Spinal and Aganos', has been subject to a retcon. Initially the game reported Kan-Ra to having lived in , as well as Aganos being a product of the Babylonian empire. However, further plot developments altered their origins, affecting even the time in which they are born.
