Biography
Baraka is the fiercest of the Tarkatans, vicious nomadic mutants from the wastes of Outworld. Like all Tarkatan males, he joined Shao Kahn’s army once he came of age and survived the brutal Ritual of Blood. He gained the rank of Enforcer after single-handedly defeating a rebel faction. His loyalty and strength make him a favorite of the emperor; his retractable blades have slain many of Shao Kahn’s most bitter enemies. As a kontestant in the Mortal Kombat tournament, he will ensure his emperor’s claim to Earthrealm.

Ending
Shokan and Centaur alike were enraged that Baraka, Shao Kahn’s trusted enforcer, had turned on their master and killed him just as Earthrealm was within their grasp. But their anger turned to admiration as the lifeless body of Shao Kahn transformed into that of the treacherous sorcerer Shang Tsung. Shang had attempted to claim the realm for himself by posing as Shao Kahn. The deception had not fooled Baraka. He had recognized Shang Tsung’s scent and torn out his throat.
With Earthrealm finally in Shao Kahn’s control, Baraka’s loyalty and bold action were rewarded. The Tarkatans replaced the Centaur as the emperor’s Favored Race.
