About

"Soul Sorcerer and historic host of the Mortal Kombat. Born in Earthrealm, Shang Tsung's relentless pursuit of powerful magic led him to Outworld, where Shao Kahn offered him a dark power that no sorcerer on Earthrealm could. Shang Tsung pledged his eternal loyalty to Shao Kahn in exchange for this evil magic, but he is no faithful servant. He dreams of the day his sorcery will overtake Shao Kahn's, and he'll pay any price to get there." Mortal Kombat 11: Kombat Pack owners had a week of early access to this DLC.
