Youthful Warrior with Dreams of Glory
Born and raised in the village of Fengjian, Kung Lao has spent his life toiling in the fields. It has been an honorable life, if not a glorious one.
Kung Lao’s greatest fear is that his life will amount to nothing. He prays fervently that he will be called to do something bigger.
His prayers are answered when he is asked to join the champions of Earthrealm. As a warrior fighting for its honor, Kung Lao knows that his victories will be long remembered.

It was inevitable that the Shaolin masters had me join them. They knew just how much future initiates could learn from me.
Shujinko was one of my earliest. His ability to absorb anyone’s powers and skills was amazing.
With the right training, he could become our greatest champion. I knew that I alone could give it to him.
But as his proficiency grew, so did his ego. In love with himself and his power, Shujinko became a threat to the realms.
He hadn’t learned humility, because I wasn’t the one who could teach it. I should have listened to Raiden’s warning and not tried to train Shujinko alone.
After he was subdued, Shujinko’s accumulated abilities and memories were taken from him. He is once again a new initiate, ready to begin his training.
This time, Raiden and I train Shujinko together. He will become the champion he is destined to be. And I will fulfill my duties humbly and cooperatively.
