Revered Lin Kuei Warrior
Like his cherished father, Scorpion is dedicated to the Lin Kuei and its defense of Earthrealm. When his father died, Scorpion was bereft. Though he took pride in knowing that his brother, Sub-Zero, would succeed their father as the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster.
But Sub-Zero's unprecedented moves to cast off the Lin Kuei's traditional duties have frozen Scorpion’s enthusiasm. He fears that he may one day have to battle his brother for control of the Lin Kuei's legacy.

No sooner had Titan Shang Tsung been defeated than Bi-Han and his loyalists hunted us down.
Outnumbered, we fled to Japan. There we sought refuge from an old family friend.
As children, we played together. But Harumi Shirai was a woman now, the head of her clan.
Her strength, beauty, and intellect awed me.
Also incensed by Bi-Han’s betrayal, Harumi agreed to help me forge a new clan. One that would stand against him and defend Earthrealm.
Her aid proved invaluable. And as time went on, we grew closer.
To honor Harumi and pay respects to my new bride, I named the clan after her, calling it the Shirai Ryu.
Now the battle against my brother begins in earnest.
The Shirai Ryu won’t rest until Bi-Han is defeated and the Lin Kuei’s honor restored.
