The boy's mother's murder led Kenshi to entrust his son to Hanzo Hasashi, the former Scorpion, to raise as a warrior.

Years later he learned the woman had been murdered - leaving their eight-year-old son in Kenshi's care. In his post-war travels he met and fell in love with a young Thai-American woman.Įventually Kenshi's wanderlust returned and he departed. He served Earthrealm admirably in its conflict with Netherrealm.

Humbled but with a new sense of purpose, Kenshi vowed to rid the realms of despicable creatures like Shang. When the sorcerer Shang Tsung duped him into retrieving the enchanted sword Sento from the Well of Souls, the result left Kenshi sightless.
