Reptile is a loyal but conflicted assassin. Born of a near-extinct reptilian race, he serves the Outworld emperor, Shao Kahn. Reptile's loyalty is often challenged by moments of personal turmoil.

*As an Earthrealm defender in the Mortal Kombat tournament, the first round has left you physically and mentally exhausted. Eager to find respite, you make your way back to your quarters for the night, unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows.
