Shang Tsung
Voiced by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Shang Tsung is a recurring antagonist who served as the primary villain for season one. He is a powerful, deadly sorcerer and a shapeshifter who needs to consume souls in order to sustain his health and life. He is the epitome of cunning and decadence, as symbolized by his preference for lavish parties, grand palaces, and stylish clothing. Unlike the crude Shao Kahn, this bombast is a facade, disguising Shang's true intellectual and mental sophistication. His arch-nemesis is Liu Kang, and his allegiance to Shao Kahn granted him the status of a free-roaming sorcerer. As such, he is able to move between realms without detection by the Elder Gods or local deities, an ability which granted him many opportunities to commit atrocities throughout his unnatural lifespan.

Shang Tsung's primary objective is to find an infinite source of souls on which he can thrive indefinitely. Without souls, his body will rapidly age, wither and eventually die. However, due to his ability to absorb souls, he has discovered an unforeseen side effect, granting him the ability to shape-shift into the people whose souls he had taken. The changes is more than skin deep as he has access to all their memories and abilities as well. Shang Tsung is not required to steal a person's soul to morph into them though. As a sorcerer, Shang Tsung wields incredible black magic, most of it provided by Shao Kahn. He is associated with the element of fire, able to fire flaming skull-shaped projectiles and he has the ability to create a giant, flaming cobra to fight for him. He also has the ability to teleport using pools of fire.
