    Biography

    “Preservation” — Defender of the Tarkatans

    Baraka was once a respected Outworld merchant. But that life ended in an instant when he contracted the dreaded Tarkat plague.

    Incurable, contagious, and the cause of severe physical deformities, Tarkat turned Baraka into a monster. He was cast out and doomed to live out his days in a colony of similarly afflicted Outworlders.

    When Baraka first arrived, the colony was in disarray. His fellow Tarkatans had given up and were ready to die.

    Their hopelessness lit a fire in Baraka’s heart. He spares no effort to better his fellow Tarkatans’ lives. He knows that as long as he fights, he will never truly be a victim.

    Ending

    YouTube player

    I couldn’t believe that Liu Kang welcomed me in Earthrealm. Or that he thought me worthy to study with his Shaolin masters. After a lifetime of wishing for one, I finally had a home. But my joy was tempered as I thought about Sareena… My Shadow Sister was still under Quan Chi’s yoke. And she deserved a life free of him as much, if not more, than I.

    Quan Chi and my other sisters proved tenacious, but they were no match for my blade. I snatched Sareena from them. Then Liu Kang helped me break Quan Chi’s spell. Her mind free of his influence for the first time in years, Sareena chose to join me in Earthrealm.

    My sister and I once again fight side by side. Only now we do so for Earthrealm. Together, we have formed the Order of Light.
