Baraka

Baraka is first introduced in Mortal Kombat II as being a member of a lowly Outworld race called the Nomads, known for unpredictable behavior and possessing a frequent violent streak.

He spearheads the attack on Liu Kang's Shaolin temple in Earthrealm following the conclusion of the first tournament, which in turn lures Liu Kang into Outworld to seek vengeance, as planned by emperor Shao Kahn.

After Kahn's defeat, he disappeared back into Outworld's wastelands, reemerging in the Mortal Kombat Trilogy storyline as again being recruited into Kahn's forces after successfully fighting an "uprising renegade race in Outworld's lower regions," then taking part in the ensuing invasion of Earthrealm.

However, after Kahn is again defeated and his takeover plans go for naught a second time, Baraka sets back out on his own as a drifter once more.

While passing through the Outworld realm of Edenia prior to the events of Mortal Kombat Gold (1999), Baraka encounters the sorcerer Quan Chi, who offers him a chance to rule the realm at his side if he agrees to join the army of the fallen Elder God Shinnok; Baraka, always in the mood for battle, readily accepts, but all along he secretly planned to betray his new masters, which fails to come to fruition after Shinnok's defeat.

Baraka attempts to warn Quan Chi about Shinnok's demise, but Quan Chi pretends to have masterminded the events, and after Baraka openly balks at the prospect of sharing the rule of Outworld with Quan Chi, the sorcerer appears to kill him right after thwarting a sudden attempt on his life.

At the time of Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), Baraka formed an alliance to the risen Dragon King, Onaga, in whose strength he had great faith.

When Baraka agreed to follow Onaga, the remainder of his Tarkatan race did so too.

Baraka freed Mileena from her prison and recruited her to Onaga's ranks to pose as Princess Kitana.

Mileena used this position to misdirect the Edenian forces into combat against the Tarkatan raiding parties well away from Onaga to give the Dragon King the time he needed to complete his schemes.
