Quan Chi

Lore & Background

Quan Chi is the sorcerer who murdered Scorpion's family and clan, then framed the original Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, for the crime. This deception set Scorpion on a path of vengeance against the wrong person for most of the franchise. Scorpion's quest for revenge against the second Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang, was based on this lie. It was only later that Scorpion discovered Quan Chi was the real murderer. Quan Chi's actions are the direct cause of Scorpion's undead state and his relentless pursuit of revenge. He is a master of necromancy and black magic, using these powers to manipulate events and raise the dead.

In Their Own Story

The source material does not provide a narrative story for Quan Chi beyond his role as the murderer of Scorpion's family and clan.

This feud spans most of the franchise before Scorpion discovers that Quan Chi is the real murderer. No further story details about Quan Chi's actions or motivations are given in the source.
