Shao Khan's conquest orphaned many children but one was only adopted by the powerful Edenian resistance. Under there tutelage he became a elite but arrogant fighter named Rain. He served his resistance well for many years, he was denied his own command. Infuriated, he betrayed his brethren and joined his mortal enemy Shao Khan. Ignoring loyalty, Rain is hellbent on his mission, obtain true power and destroy anything that gets in the way...
