The Lore Of Kombat : The Mythology Of Demon Quan Chi
81Quan Chi is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Shang Tsung) of the Mortal Kombat series. He is Shinnok's right-hand-man and the archenemy of Scorpion.
He is a powerful demon necromancer from the Netherrealm, who is responsible for the founding of the Brotherhood of Shadow, the ancient demonic cult who worshipped his deity Shinnok. He also killed Hanzo's family, wiped out his clan, and framed the first Sub-Zero for his crime. Along with Shinnok, his reboot counterpart, also helped Kronika with her scheme, even though they likely did not do it intentionally. This makes him one of the most important villains in the franchise. Without him, some of the most important events would have likely never happened.
He was voiced by Herman Sanchez in Mortal Kombat 4, Mortal Kombat: Deception, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Nick Chinlund in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, and by Ronald M. Banks for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Mortal Kombat (2011), and Mortal Kombat X. In live-action, he has been portrayed by Richard Divizio in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Michael Rogers in Mortal Kombat Legacy and by Adoni Maropis in Mortal Kombat Konquest.
In the original timeline, he served as a background antagonist in the first three Mortal Kombat games, the main antagonist of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, the secondary antagonist of Mortal Kombat 4, the titular main antagonist of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, a minor antagonist in Mortal Kombat: Deception, a cameo character in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, a major antagonist in Mortal Kombat Armageddon, and a supporting protagonist in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
In the alternate timeline, he served as a major antagonist in Mortal Kombat (2011), one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside D'Vorah) of Mortal Kombat X, the secondary antagonist of the Mortal Kombat X comic series, and a posthumous antagonist in Mortal Kombat 11, and its story mode DLC, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath.
He also served as the titular main antagonist of the episode "The Secret of Quan Chi" in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, a supporting antagonist in Mortal Kombat: Conquest and Mortal Kombat: Legacy, and one of the two main antagonists (alongside Shang Tsung) of Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge
Regardless of timeline, Quan Chi does not care about anyone but himself. Always going out of his way to manipulate the odds, he only serves people for his own benefit; considering even the few people he shows loyalty to to be a means to the end. One great example of this would be how he tricked Scorpion into thinking that Bi Han killed his clan and family. He did this to further his own goals and to provide Shinnok an extra tool to assist him.
Appearance
Quan Chi is a very tall, well-built man with red eyes. Among his distinct features is his completely white skin. He is also completely bald, devoid of any hair on his head or face.
There also appears to be a chakra on his forehead. In his first appearance, he wore a heavy green uniform with spike-studded black armor and originally, with a yin-yang emblem on it, which seems regal, he uses it for formal gatherings. During his escape from Scorpion in the Netherrealm, he has discarded some of his clothing, leaving him with half a portion of his armor and new black gloves, his torso bare otherwise.
Later, he magically carves the inscriptions of the tomb of the Dragon King's army onto his body as somewhat becoming his tattoos. On his belt he now bears the authentic Amulet of Shinnok. The MK team seems to be fond of Quan Chi's Deadly Alliance outfit, as he retains this design in every game released following Deadly Alliance, even games that chronologically predate it.
As of Mortal Kombat X, Quan Chi sports a new outfit that combines traits of both his Mortal Kombat 4 and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance onwards appearances. While he is still topless, he now wears an armored cuirass with spikes on his collar, reminiscent of his MK4 outfit.
