KMC Forums - The Indian Shaman, Nightwolf

Let's see...Nightwolf was the third American-based Indian to make his fighting game debut (after T. Hawk - who is from Mexico - and Chief Thunder, respectively).

He was pretty cool in MK3 and Midway gave him a complete overhaul in Deception and Armageddon, which was even better. The only pet peeve I have was how they portrayed him in the cartoons.

Nightwolf a computer freak? That's as worse as Doc Dhalsim from the live Street Fighter movie.

Ever wondered what kind of Indian he was? Cherokee Nation? Sioux? Apache? Eh, who cares. Nightwolf was cool.

Bio:

Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate/Trilogy

Mortal Kombat Deception

Nightwolf had traversed realms and fought many demons to get to this place deep within the Netherrealm. Using knowledge passed to him from his forefathers, he drew a binding symbol on the ground and chanted the ancient words that would draw the spirit of the Dragon King to this wicked place.

Nightwolf had carried the burden long enough. He released the sins of his people into the mystic symbol, and their weight bound Onaga to the Netherrealm. Free of the corruption he had harbored for so long, Nightwolf was expelled from the depths of the Netherrealm and into the unknown.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon

After imprisoning Onaga's corrupt soul, I was released from the Netherrealm. I passed through the spirit world before emerging in Earthrealm, surrounded by a pack of wolves, my spirit guides. I had only faint memories of that brief journey... or did it last an eternity?

The Ancients spoke to me of a coming storm that would pit the warriors of the realms against each other in an epic battle. But most disturbing of all was a warning that a hidden evil was manipulating these warriors, forcing them to participate.

My visions were seemingly made real when, at a gathering of the Forces of Light, Johnny Cage revealed that Shinnok had returned, and that the fallen Elder God was assembling the Forces of Darkness once more. I agreed to help Johnny Cage and join his fight.

At the summit, Kitana approached me. I was amazed to find that she was accompanied by the spirit of Liu Kang. The bond between them was strong; thus she was able to keep his energies intact until a way to reunite his body and soul could be found. There was not much I could do to help until I achieved a much higher level of shamanic power. Mustering what little magic i had left after my quest in the Netherrealm, I transferred the bond from Kitana to myself and accepted my role as Liu Kang's new spiritual anchor. Perhaps this unknown power sought by the Forces of Darkness could be the key to helping Liu Kang find peace.
