"Remove the shadow from the light; the shadow grows. The legacy of life is death, Raiden. My followers accept this, and live on. They fight for me."

- Shinnok Shinnok is the fallen Elder God of Death who relies less on brute strength and fear-mongering, but more on magical powers, ancient artifacts and manipulation, and is the ruler of the Netherrealm, possessing millions of years' worth of knowledge and power.
