On the battlefield, Kahn killed King Jerrod, and took his Queen Sindel as his wife, raising their daughter, Princess Kitana, as his own. After his warriors had won in Mortal Kombat, Kahn invaded the realm. A milestone in his military victories was the merging of Edenia with Outworld. Kahn promised to let the village remain in peace if Prince Goro represented him in the Mortal Kombat tournaments (this promise was not upheld, but it is not clear if Kahn was responsible for this) Goro would then win 9 of the 10 consecutive tournaments needed to dominate all of the realms. Prior to Earthrealm, Kahn's greatest challenge was a Shokan village. He continued to add lesser realms to Outworld, either through direct conquest or through the Mortal Kombat tournament. Kahn continued with many of the former Emperor's plans. Before his goal could be realized, Shao Kahn made his move by poisoning Onaga and taking his kingdom, leading whatever troops that remained loyal to the Dragon King. Onaga's Empire had become the most powerful in the realms and so he began searching for a way to become an immortal. Shao Kahn originally served as an advisor to Onaga when the latter ruled Outworld as the Dragon King. Later in the series, his abilities are toned down to make other bosses appear superior. Like his subordinate Shang Tsung, he has the power to consume others' souls. The main antagonist in the Mortal Kombat series, Shao Kahn (often misspelled as Shao Khan) is the Emperor of Outworld known for his godlike strength, extreme brutality and knowledge of black magic.
Shao Kahn is a boss, announcer and recurring playable character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.
