Biography
Shang Tsung is a sorcerer from Outworld and a servant of Shao Kahn. Long ago, he was caught cheating in the Mortal Kombat tournaments, so the Elder Gods punished him by making him age swiftly until an untimely death, with the only way to prevent this being by absorbing souls. His skill almost had given him enough victories for Shao Kahn to take over Earthrealm, but he was stopped by his greatest opponent, Liu Kang.
