“ | We are Ermac. We are the fusion of the souls of dead warriors, created by Shao Kahn to obey him without question. We served as his enforcer for many years, until the Earthrealm warrior Kenshi released us from our bondage and awakened our perception of the worlds that surround us.

Biography[]
Creation[]
Ermac was created by Shao Kahn by fusing together the souls of fallen warriors from Outworld. At some point as seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode, he met Shujinko while in the Netherrealm (most likely on a mission from Shao Kahn there) and was attacked by Ashrah, who believed that he was a demon.
Freedom[]
Ermac fought for Shao Kahn during his invasion of Earthrealm, but after his master's defeat and loss of power, he began wandering Outworld, lost without any instruction. During the rise of the Deadly Alliance, Ermac was found by Kenshi, the blind swordsman who freed him from the control of Shao Kahn and in gratitude, he taught Kenshi how to use telekinesis. Now free to chose his own path, Ermac decided to become a force for good to make up for the evils of his past.
Fighting on the Side of Light[]
Mortal Kombat: Deception[]
Soon after this decision, Ermac came across the soul of Liu Kang, who understood his suffering. The monk needed a new ally and someone to assist him in freeing Jax Briggs, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Sonya Blade, and Kung Lao from the control of Onaga. Ermac was eager to do so, since this was an excellent opportunity to make up for some of his past evils. After finding them, the soul fusion battled Liu Kang's enslaved friends, holding them off while Kang freed them and eventually they succeeded in freeing them all. However, Ermac was troubled when he sensed there was a greater threat on the horizon than the Dragon King.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon[]
The threat that Ermac sensed eventually came to pass, and he joined the Forces of Light for the final battle in Edenia. During the battle, Ermac was seen fighting Rain. When the Pyramid of Argus emerged, Ermac and Nightwolf fought Sheeva, but were held off until Kenshi stabbed her. After Quan Chi defeated Kenshi, Ermac seemingly used his telekinetic powers to throw the sorcerer off the pyramid, however this turned out to be Shang Tsung impersonating him. In his non-canon ending, after defeating Blaze, Ermac was split into the many warrior souls that comprised him, each with a physical body. But each was connected psychically so in essence, Ermac had been transformed from one warrior into an army.
