BIOGRAPHY

A dark, twisted path marks Quan Chi's journey in the Mortal Kombat series. Originally born into a life of hard labor in an Outworld mine, Quan Chi had no prospects other than the certainty of death in the mine's gloomy tunnels. His life dramatically turned when he snitched on fellow workers planning a strike to curry favor with the mine's owner. The strike was brutally crushed, and many of his co-workers were killed. Those who survived bore a grudge against Quan Chi, plotting to take his life in retribution.

However, fate had other plans for Quan Chi. His life was saved by a mysterious benefactor, who offered him freedom from the mines and training in the dark arts of sorcery in exchange for his servitude. Quan Chi eagerly accepted this offer, seeing it as a pathway to power and escape from his grim fate in the mines.

Now a master of the Netherrealm's most vile sorcery, Quan Chi's ambitions have grown. He collaborates with Shang Tsung, intending to conquer the realms. His background as a miner, marked by betrayal and a desperate struggle for survival, fuels his ruthless tactics and unyielding drive for domination.
