Mortal Kombat 9/Kenshi

Kenshi

Kenshi, a proud swordsman was promised the legendary Sentou sword by a strange old man, who was actually Shang Tsung in disguise. When he took the sword, Kenshi also released ancient warrior spirits that were all consume by Shang Tsung. He was then left to die in the dark. Blind but alive, Kenshi was guided out of the tomb by the mystical sword. Led by his senses, and fueled by revenge, Kenshi believes in an eye for an eye..
