3. ABOUT KANO

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Outfits:

Standard: He wears a black jacket and brown pants with knee pads
in metal, he also wears black gloves.

Alternate: He has his MK1 outfit.Dressed in all white with that
glowing sash around his chest and no gloves this time.

Alternate 2P: He has his MK3 outfit which in my opinion looks 
much better on him since it is black and he is in the Black
Dragon after all.

Kano is my favourite Mortal Kombat fighter. He always manages 
to survive and is an extremely cunning general in
Shao Kahn�s army.

Status - Mercenary
Alignment - Evil

Story: (MK1)

A Mercenary, Thug, Extortionist Thief - Kano lives a life of crime
and injustice. He is a devoted member of the Black Dragon, a 
dangerous group of cut-throat Madmen feared and respected 
throughout all of crime's Inner Circles. 

Ending: (MK1)

With the defeat of Goro and Shang Tsung, Kano will bring his own
brand of treachery to the Tournament. His Black Dragon 
organization forms a monopoly over the contest that brings 
shame and torment to those involved.

Their reign will end in anarchy and death. It will result in the
final dismantling of the Tournament and the Battle of the Sans.

Story: (MK3)

Kano is thought to have been killed in the first tournament. 
Instead he�s found alive in the Outworld where he once again escapes
capture by Sonya. Before the actual Outworld invasion, Kano 
convinces Shao Kahn to spare his soul. Kahn needs someone to
teach his warriors how to use Earth�s weapons. Kano is the man
to do it.

Ending: (MK3)

When Shao Kahn lets Kano live, he fails to realize the 
resourcefulness of the scheming human. Kano lures Kahn�s army
away on a false mission: then nukes them using a stolen weapon.
He fights the remaining warriors and finally defeats Kahn himself.

Kano�s true intention is to take over the souls which Kahn once
possessed. But Kano is unable to control the spirits as they
escape and attack him. Rumored to have suffered a violent death
Kano was ignorant of the fact that he saved the world he tried
to conquer.

Story: (MKDA)

Kano had been defeated in a battle with the Special Forces 
agent Sonya Blade during Shao Kahn�s invasion of Earthrealm.
Shao Kahn incarcerated Kano for his failure, but later hastily
promoted him to General when he prevented the Emperor�s 
assassination at the hands of the Shokan warrior known as Sheeva.
With the merging of Earthrealm and Outworld not yet complete, 
Shao Kahn ordered Kano to portal back to the last remnants of
Outworld to gather more troops for the final push against the 
Earthrealm opposition.

Kano had remained in Outworld and served as General of Shao Kahn�s
military after the retreat from Earthrealm. For years he enjoyed
the power of commanding the greatest army in Outworld. But Shao
Kahn�s power was fading and there was a chance that Kitana�s 
forces might spell the Emperor�s undoing. When the sorcerers 
Shang Tsung and Quan Chi confronted Shao Kahn in a surprise
attack, Kano decided not to interfere and remained hidden in the
shadows to ally with the winning side. Once Shao Kahn was
defeated, Kano offered his allegiance to the Deadly Alliance.

Ending: (MKDA)

Kano and Sonya had fought before. Although Kano was humiliated by
his defeat at her hands so many years ago, this time the outcome
would be different...

Kano had stolen Quan Chi�s amulet at the request of Shang Tsung.
With the amulet in his possession, Kano came to realization that
he was now in total control of the revived undefeatable army.
Rather than hand the amulet and the army over to Shang Tsung,
Kano kept them for himself, and used the army to ambush Sonya,
ending their long rivalry once and for all.

Ending: (MKA)

For months the Red Dragon had kept Kano hidden in their mountain
stronghold, an unwilling test subject for a new process designed to
transform humans into dragons.
Kano escaped, however,  before they could finish.
Infused with godlike essence from Blaze; the process
was rejuvenated.
Kano was transformed into a black dragon-human hybrid.
