4.About Quan Chi
Quan Chi became the most powerful sorcerer and necromancer in the Netherrealm and a primary villain in the Mortal Kombat series.Quan Chi combines both cunning and brute force in his never ending plots to overtake not only Earthrealm, but all of reality.Zero and most notably, the ninja spectre Scorpion, due to the fact that he destroyed Scorpion's entire family and clan.He previously formed a strong alliance with Shang Tsung and defeated earthrealm warrior Liu Kang.Storyline
Details of Quan Chi's past are unknown, except that he was once an Oni from the Netherrealm, who transformed when he learned sorcery.In exchange for power, and a place at Shinnok's side, he assisted the fallen Elder God in overthrowing his tormentor and helping him ascend to become the new ruler of the Netherealm.When Shang Tsung took possession of the Great Kung Lao's soul after his defeat at the hands of Goro, he learned the location of Shinnok's long lost amulet.Tsung later traded this information with Quan Chi.In return, Quan Chi would help to revive Sindel and enable Shao Kahn to take control of Earthrealm at a later date.Although Shao Kahn's invasion failed, it gave Quan Chi the opportunity to make his move.Shirai Ryu, in exchange for the assistance of one of their warriors.Zero to retrieve the amulet for him.Zero did so (and killed Hanzo Hasashi in cold blood in doing so), unaware of Quan Chi's motives.Once the Lin Kuei warrior acquired the amulet, Quan Chi claimed it, and explained its origins before leaving to give the amulet back to Shinnok.Unknown to the fallen Elder God however, Quan Chi had replaced the amulet with a useless imitation, and kept the real one for himself.Zero, who had been ordered to reclaim the amulet by Raiden, confronted Quan Chi, and defeated him temporarily with assistance from Sareena.Quan Chi would spend the following years assisting Shinnok in preparation for his forthcoming assault, as well heading the cult of the Brotherhood of Shadow.The attack would occur during the time of Mortal Kombat Gold.Scorpion's rage enabled him to defeat the Lin Kuei warrior, but as he prepared to finish his enemy, Quan Chi appeared and revealed that he was the actual murderer.The Oni protected Quan Chi from Scorpion, and in return, Quan Chi promised to bring them back with him when he eventually escaped the Netherealm.Upon discovering a portal that led to Outworld, he fled without them, leaving them determined to destroy him.The portal led Quan Chi to the tomb containing the mummified remains of the long forgotten Dragon King.Reading the writings on the king's sarcophagus, Quan Chi realized that the army was invincible, and could be revived.The sorcerer was still not safe from Scorpion, however.The specter had pursued him into Outworld, and they fought, gaining the attention of Shang Tsung.Dispatching Scorpion temporarily, and impressing Tsung, Quan Chi described his plan to his fellow sorcerer; Quan Chi would open a "Soulnado" to the heavens, providing Tsung with infinite souls, and Tsung would help him revive the army of the Dragon King.Tsung introduced Quan Chi to Kahn, and they pledged their loyalty in a false show.They then quickly sprang their attack, killing Kahn (in actuality, a clone, although they had no way of knowing this).Kano, Kahn's acting general who had witnessed the murder, pledged his own support to them.Under the guise of Kung Lao, Tsung sneaked up on, and battled Kang.Quan Chi attacked Kang from behind with a skull fireball attack, taking him completely unaware and weakening him.Tsung took the opportunity to break his old adversary's neck and consume his soul.Returning to Outworld, the Deadly Alliance commanded Kano's troops to force a small Outworld village to construct a new palace around the tomb to house the Soulnado.When one of the citizens, Li Mei, attacked Kano, they offered to free her village if she could win a tournament they would hold.Quan Chi had no way of knowing, but Tsung had made a side deal with Drahmin and Moloch, who had recently escaped from the Netherealm as well; once his own part of the plot was completed, and the army resurrected, Tsung would allow the two to have their revenge on Quan Chi.Li Mei, having won the local tournament, demanded her reward, but her soul instead began to be transferred to a mummified soldier of Onaga's army.It was at this time that the forces of Earthrealm, led by Raiden, attacked.Li Mei was rescued by Bo' Rai Cho, who escaped with her, but the remainder of the warriors assaulted the Alliance.Their attack was in vain, as each one was killed by the sorcerers and their Tarkatan hordes (Quan Chi himself personally defeating and killing Kitana).Only Raiden remained, and the Alliance confronted him together before the Soulnado.Quan Chi had harbored his own suspicions on Tsung's part, namely that his ally wanted Shinnok's amulet for himself.Quan Chi emerged victorious, but could not savor his victory: Onaga, the Dragon King, newly reborn, entered the chamber.Tsung awakened, as did Raiden, and together, the three attempted to stop him.In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Quan Chi is revealed to have teleported right before Raiden's explosive blast; with the amulet once more, he now wishes to acquire the ultimate godlike power granted from defeating the elemental Blaze.To that end, he has formed an uneasy and distrustful alliance with fellow villains Onaga, Shang Tsung, and Shao Kahn.In his ending, Quan Chi defeats Blaze and has his sorcery's power increased drastically and it shatters his medallion.They then send the Kamidogu back in time to when Shinnok first discovered it.Signature moves

Quan Chi made his debut in the animated series, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, which aired a year before the Mythologies game.In the episode "The Secret of Quan Chi", he used his sorcery to turn everyone on Earth against each other, creating pandemonium and chaos that Earth's heroes were forced to overcome.He was voiced by Mark Hamill.Quan Chi also had substantial guest appearances on Mortal Kombat: Conquest, in which he is played by Adoni Maropis, and mostly inspired by his Mythologies incarnation.Netherealm, he sought to disgrace Kung Lao and claim his soul on his own terms.Quan Chi was also approached by Shang Tsung to combine their sorcery in a brief alliance to end the monk's life in a hellish parallel universe.When Shang Tsung turned renegade, Shao Kahn employed Quan Chi to eliminate him.Quan Chi also employed three female Netherealm assassins, undead souls encased in living flesh.Siann, Sora, and Mika were often sent to do his bidding in Earthrealm when the sorcerer was not capable of directly interfering.Although they used their prized beauty and deadly fighting skills to their advantage, none were successful in slaying Kung Lao, his friends, or other enemies of Quan Chi.In the series finale, Quan Chi is sealed in cobalt by Shao Kahn's rampaging Shadow Priests.The mineral nullified his powers, and he is slain.Character development
In a conceptual art piece for Quan Chi's Deadly Alliance look, he is seen holding a staff with a grotesque head at the end, which is able to spew green mist and dozens of flies from its mouth.This "living weapon" was elaborated on, and became its own character, Drahmin.Curiously, Quan Chi returns in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon with his outfit from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance with amulet in hand, even though Onaga claimed it from him in the opening of Mortal Kombat: Deception, and Shinnok has it as a weapon called Amulet Staff.Zero, as well as in Armageddon Konquest, Quan Chi is served by three assassins, Sareena, Kia, and Jataaka.At some time, Ashrah also served as one of Quan Chi's assassins.However, like Sareena, she would turn against him.MKA)
Quan Chi appears in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode, in which the player must fight him as Scorpion.His weapon stance, however, is replaced by a single Broadsword (based on Dairou's Autumn Dao) since no character in Deception uses dual swords.There is a scene at the end of Shaolin Monks where Quan Chi takes Shinnok's amulet from Shao Kahn's remains.Trivia
Quan Chi was going to appear in the climax of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, but his scenes were cut from the final print.Ed Boon's favorite and least favorite Fatalities both come from Quan Chi (the Leg Rip and the Neck Stretch, respectively).According to Armageddon's Konquest story, Quan Chi was the one who suggested that Onaga, Shang Tsung, and Shao Kahn team up, arguing that it would be necessary to defeat the good guys.However, he was actually working under the direction of Shinnok to lead the other villains to the spot where Armageddon was supposed to take place.If they are indeed the same person (and are, thus, voiced by the same actor), this would break the tradition of Mortal Kombat games having their final bosses as the commentators (as, while Quan Chi was one of the final bosses in Deadly Alliance, he was replaced by Onaga and Blaze in Deception and Armageddon, respectively, and in fact was assumed dead at the beginning of Deception, preventing him from being the commentator).In Jarek's Armageddon bio and ending, Quan Chi offers him the power to finish his enemies all at once in exchange for his services, which culminates with Blaze's defeat in the form of using Jarek's enemies' signature fatalities against them.This is a nod to Quan Chi's ability to use his opponent's fatality against them in MK4.This page was last modified 22:42, 26 January 2008.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.When you are one with something.Jerry, you are the ambassador of quan.Some players have coin, but I have the quan.Some players have coin, but I have the quan.There are five quans down the street, what what nigga what.Urban Dictionary is not appropriate for all audiences.In recent years, QMR has become an
