Biography:Sensing the cries of his captured ancestors, Kenshi made a vow to slay Shang
Tsung in order to free them from his grasp. When he learned of Shang Tsung’s
escape to Outworld, Kenshi agreed to help the Special Forces search for the
missing agent Cyrax as a means of gaining access to that realm, which allowed
him to act as both rescue party and spy. Shortly after discovering the
sorcerer’s whereabouts, the Agency was destroyed and with it his only means for
return to earth. Kenshi now finds himself facing the Deadly Alliance on his
own. Years ago, the rogue swordsman Kenshi wandered Japan to challenge the
great warriors. His purpose in life was simply to be the best. Shang Tsung,
however, had discovered Kenshi’s true heritage as a descendant of a long
forgotten line of warrior kings. The sorcerer desired to consume the souls of
those warrior kings and tricked the unknowing Kenshi into releasing them from
their tomb, an act which left him blinded. Shang Tsung consumed the souls and
left Kenshi to die in the tomb.
Ending:Kenshi had finally caught up with Shang Tsung in Outworld. Years ago, Kenshi
had been manipulated into releasing the souls of his warrior ancestors. Shang
Tsung had consumed those souls and left Kenshi to die in the tomb. The ordeal
left Kenshi blinded, but the sword of his ancestors led him out of the depths.
To redeem himself, Kenshi had vowed to free his ancestors from their captor. He
cut Shang Tsung down with his ancestral sword and a blast of souls was
instantly released. The spirits of the warrior kings reentered the sword as
Kenshi held it above his head. His duty fulfilled, he could now return to
Earthrealm.
Current Status:Kenshi is now allied with Sub-Zero to try and find the portal
to the Earthrealm.
