Champion of Earthrealm
In the village of Fengjian, Raiden was known for his kindness and his charity. He was happy to spend his days tending to the fields, as well as to his friends and family.
So when he is asked to leave Fengjian and become one of Earthrealm’s champions, Raiden hesitates. But he soon realizes that to best serve his village, he must join them.
As threats to Earthrealm mount, Raiden must mature into the great warrior that Liu Kang knows he can be.

Were it not for my godly counterpart, I would not have survived the battle against Titan Shang Tsung.
Meeting him, though, raised questions. Why did I replace him in this New Era? Why was I made mortal?
Lord Liu Kang told me of his Raiden’s nobility and righteousness. About his steadfast leadership in the defense of Earthrealm.
He also told me about Raiden’s dark side. How he could be consumed by rage and cast aside the rules he otherwise lived by.
Making me mortal and incapable of such anger was to keep me from following in his footsteps.
Though I understood the reasons why, I felt I had been done a disservice. To survive the coming battles, I may need the edge that only great rage can bring.
As the Shaolin couldn’t aid me, I sought out someone who could. Someone to stoke the fire within me - and teach me to master it.
For this, I could have no better teacher than the Shirai Ryu’s Grandmaster.
