{{quote| A sorcerer from the Netherrealm, Quan Chi is quite easily the most [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|treacherous]] character in all the games. While originally supposed to serve the Elder God Shinnok, Quan Chi's true allegiance is only to himself, and he will make and break deals with anyone if it furthers his goals. Quan Chi, contrary to most characters in the series, does not actually belong to either a mortal race or the myriad gods: he used to be an oni, a demonic torturer from hell, who eventually took a humanoid form.}}

{{quote| Quan Chi has had a behind-the-scenes presence through a myriad of major events in the series' history. Serving Shinnok, he directly caused the deaths of both Scorpion (and his clan and family...) and the original Sub-Zero, was the one who revived Sindel in order to facilitate Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm, released Shinnok from his imprisonment in the Netherrealm, and brought about Liu Kang's death during the events of ''[[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance|Deadly Alliance]]''. He has also betrayed every single ally he ever had at one point or another.}}

{{quote| During the events of both ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero|Mythologies: Sub-Zero]]'' and ''[[Mortal Kombat 4]]'', Quan Chi was working to release his master, the banished Elder God Shinnok, from his imprisonment in the Netherrealm. To this end, he also worked with Shao Kahn (bringing back Sindel for him, as previously mentioned). After Shinnok's defeat, however, Quan Chi eventually discovered the tomb of Onaga The Dragon King, which contained within his undead army, which slept in suspended animation. Wanting to control the army to conquer both Outworld and Earthrealm, Quan Chi allied himself with Shang Tsung, eventually bringing down Liu Kang together during the events of ''Deadly Alliance''. Of course, after being victorious over Earthrealm's warriors at the end of ''Deadly Alliance'', Quan Chi turns on Shang Tsung (with Shang Tsung doing the same, of course). They are both attacked by Onaga the Dragon King, however, and both Quan Chi and Raiden are supposedly destroyed during the events of ''[[Mortal Kombat Deception|Deception]]''. Quan Chi did survive the events of ''Deception'', but eventually dies along with... well, everybody else, during the events of ''[[Mortal Kombat Armageddon|Armageddon]]''.}}

{{quote| Quan Chi has an important role in the events of ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'': all the aforementioned events which happen during the course of the first three games also happen during this one. It starts with the fact that he slaughters Scorpion's family to convince him to kill the ''original'' Sub-Zero, not the younger one, and it only goes downhill from there.}}

{{quote| Sareena is one of [[Evil Sorcerer|Quan Chi]]'s personal assassins. She and her [[Amazon Brigade|two partners]], Kia and Jataaka, were ordered to kill Sub-Zero before he reached Quan Chi. They were defeated, but Sub-Zero strangely spared Sareena's life. Later, as Sub-Zero battled Quan Chi, Sareena suddenly appeared and did a [[Heel Face Turn]] by helping him in defeating the sorcerer. After expressing her desire to escape the Netherealm with him, she's shot in the back with a bolt of energy by Shinnok. She collapses into an enraged Sub-Zero's arms and seems to die...}}

{{quote| ... Turns out after the events of the game that the only thing Shinnok destroyed was [[The Heartless|her human form]]. In ''[[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance|Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition]]'', it's discovered that her essence was banished as punishment for her betrayal, [[Yank the Dog's Chain|where she would suffer for years]]. Some time later, Sareena discovered the portal Quan Chi and Scorpion used to escape the Netherealm.}}

{{quote| Shortly after regaining her human form, Sareena encountered [[Mortal Kombat 2/Characters|the younger brother of the Sub-Zero she met years before]]. Sub-Zero granted her sanctuary with the Lin Kuei back on Earthrealm. In gratitude, Sareena pledged her loyalty to the clan, swearing to help defend it from its enemies.}}

{{quote| In ''Armageddon'', it is revealed that Sareena followed Sub-Zero into the Netherrealm, saving him from [[Mortal Kombat Deception|being killed by Noob Saibot and Smoke]]. She and Sub-Zero were victorious, but after the battle, Sareena lost control of her human form and returned to her true demon self. Thinking her to be a threat, Sub-Zero attacked and she fled, not wanting to harm him. However, she was later attacked by Noob Saibot, Smoke, and her former master Quan Chi, who demanded she provide them information about the Lin Kuei. At first, Sareena refused, determined to remain loyal to Sub-Zero. But Quan Chi then cast his dark sorcery upon her, returning her to her human form and then convincing her that she can never be good and that she is simply a pure evil demon. Swayed by Quan Chi's corruption, [[Face Heel Turn|she agreed to serve him once again]].}}

{{quote| Fujin is one of Raiden's god-guardians of Shinnok's amulet in ''Mythologies'', and the first of them which was challenged by Sub-Zero. He returned in ''4'' as one of the Earthrealm gods not being destroyed by Shinnok. He assists Raiden in his battle against Shinnok, and after his defeat, he was ascended to the Earthrealm protector status, while Raiden (who chose him as the replacement) was re-promoted to the Elder Gods pantheon.}}

{{quote| In ''Armageddon'', he notices a behaviour change in his old friend. While Raiden was, technically, in the good guys' side, he also gained a ruthless side after realizing that [[Humans Are Bastards]] and revived Liu Kang's corpse in order to send him to do a massive manslaughter. In spite of this, Fujin allied with Kung Lao in order to find a way to save both Raiden and Liu Kang. He learns that Johnny Cage is trying to gather the Forces of Light, and there's also a mention of the brothers Taven and Daegon, whose family has been friends with Fujin over the years. Argus (their father) sent them on a quest which was corrupted by evil. Fujin then goes to search for both brothers, hoping to prevent their progress and learn the true purpose of their quest.}}

{{quote| Shinnok is a former elder god and current ruler of the Netherrealm. Originally, he wanted to take Earthrealm for himself to gain immense power. To make sure he could freely enter Earthrealm without being detected, he created a special amulet which discreetly weakened the dimensional barriers. However, with the help of the other Elder Gods, Raiden discovers his plot and defeats him in battle, banishing him to the Netherrealm for good. There, he suffered constant torture until he met the sorcerer Quan Chi. With his help, Lucifer was dethroned and Shinnok became the new ruler with Quan Chi as his arch-sorcerer and right-hand man.}}

{{quote| During the events of both ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero|Mythologies: Sub-Zero]]'' and ''[[Mortal Kombat 4]]'', Quan Chi was working to release his master, the banished Elder God Shinnok, from his imprisonment in the Netherrealm. With the assistance of the original Sub Zero, Quan Chi managed to get the amulet and initiate Shinnok's invasion of the realms after Shao Kahn's failed attempt to conquer Earthrealm. He managed to invade Edenia and attack the heavens before Earthrealm's warriors managed to have him banished back to the Netherrealm once more by Raiden.}}

{{quote| In ''Armageddon'', Shinnok tricked Taven into helping him, claiming that he was no longer an Elder God for getting involved with the affairs of mortals. He wished for him to defeat the demons that inhabit his throne and he would try to locate Daegon as a reward. He successfully does the task and Shinnok tells Taven that he is most likely in Earthrealm. As he leaves, it is revealed that Shinnok [[The Man Behind the Man|was helping]] Daegon who was hiding in Netherrealm. In addition, it was Shinnok who alerted the many combatants to the prize at the top of the Pyramid of Argus, telling them that whomever obtained this power would be granted godlike power. His ending reveals that Shinnok created a clone of his own self to assist Daegon in ''Armageddon''. His clone was killed off shortly after defeating Kung Lao, unable to complete his objective.}}
