Ashrah (Repentant Netherrealm Demon)

Bio:
As a demon, all Ashrah knew was pain and violence. She assumed all beings, in all realms, lives as she did. But once she journeyed outside of the Netherrealm, she realized her error. Other realms were places of beauty and peace. She could not aid in their defilement.

Ashrah fled from her sister demons. Along the way, she found an enchanted kriss. It was a demon slayer, which she used to finish her pursuers. She was stunned to discover that using the kriss to destroy evil was purifying her soul. And that if she continued to do so, she could free herself from the Netherrealm.

Ashrah senses that her final absolution is near. Once achieved, she will finally enter the light.

Tanya (Guardian of Outworld's Royal Family)

Bio:
Chosen as an infant from Outworld's first-born daughters, Tanya was raised by the Umgadi's priestesses. She's never known her birth family.

As she grew older and saw other initiates wash out, Tanya feared that she would share their fate. But that fear spurred success; after many attempts, Tanya passed her trials and became a full Umgadi.

Over time, Tanya became one of the order's most trusted members, She was the obvious choice when it needed to choose a new leader for the royal family's personal guard.

As an Umgadi, Tanya is sworn to piety and chastity, That is why her bond with Princess Mileena, were it known, would cause a scandal. By following her heart, Tanya risks not only her position but also her life.

Ermac (Collection of Souls) [DLC]

Bio:
Ermac is a collection of souls, bound together by Quan Chi's dark magic.

The souls within him were intended to function as a group mind. That part of the spell is temporarily undone, however, when Ermac is defeated by Mileena. During that period, one of the souls in Ermac’s collection takes control of his group mind. It is that of Emperor Jerrod, deceased ruler of Outworld and husband of Empress Sindel. He rejoins the royal family, aiding Empress Mileena's reign.

But when Ermac's collection of souls reestablishes its control, Ermac retreats to Outworld’s shadows. No longer Quan Chi's slave, nor bound to the royal family, he must find a future worth fighting for.
