== Biography==
Tomas Vrbada was originally a boy from Prague who went hunting with his family, until they fell afoul of the Lin Kuei, who killed them for trespassing. The Grandmaster, horrified at his warrior's actions, adopted Tomas, and he was raised alongside Bi-Han and Kuai Liang as their brother. Smoke would join his brothers as a Lin Kuei in defending Earthrealm, and after being taught by the elder Arcanist Xiaoqing, mastered smoke magic to be equal to his brothers supernatural abilities.
====Mortal Kombat 1 ====
As part of a secret test for Raiden and Kung Lao, Smoke and the other Lin Kuei played the role of bandits attacking Madame Bo's Teahouse. Smoke thus threatened Madame Bo and her establishment under the pretense of extorting her for protection. When Madame Bo clearly refuses Smoke, he signals for the other Lin Kuei to begin causing havoc. Madame Bo begins a string of attacks, but Smoke quickly turns the tables and sends Madame Bo over the second floor railing and crashing down onto a table below. Kung Lao and Raiden were able to defeat Smoke and the Lin Kuei, and Liu Kang revealed the true nature of the test.
