Synopsis[]
Original Timeline[]
Mortal Kombat 3: the Ultimate[]
Nightwolf received a vision from Raiden that warned him of Shao Kahn's coming invasion and merging of Outworld and Earthrealm. As such he was fully prepared for it, as well as the attacks by the extermination squads. Using his shaman powers, Nightwolf created protection for his homeland and was soon joined by the other chosen warriors. They set out to battle Shao Kahn and his minions and defeated him, saving Earthrealm.
Mortal Kombat 6: the Deception[]
In the events that led to Onaga's return, Nightwolf received visions of the Dragon King and his ressurection, which he realized was a warning. The shaman continued to receive the visions in his dreams and knew that a new threat was about to arrive. After seeing a vision of Syzoth's transformation into Onaga, Nightwolf new his predictions had come true.
To defeat the Dragon King, the shaman decided to use an ancient ritual that his forefathers has passed down. This was known as the "Sin Eater", which required Nightwolf to take on the sins of his tribe, but at a terrible consequence. If the shaman did this, he would be a danger to all, even his allies so he decided that he had to do it on his own, so as not to endanger his comrades. Nightwolf's role as Sin Eater would bring him to the Netherrealm, where he would draw Onaga's soul to him and release the sins of his ancestors, which would bind the Dragon King's soul to the spot.
After Shujinko brought down Onaga, Nightwolf Cloud put his plan into action and succeeded, seperating Reptile from Onaga, who he bound to the Netherrealm. Ironically, Shujinko, who has once studdied with the shaman, helped Nightwolf to defeat the Dragon King.
Mortal Kombat 7: the Armageddon[]
When the shaman's quest complete, a pack of wolves, his spirit guides, guided him back to Earthrealm. However, Nightwolf began to receive more visions of a battle where an unknown force forced the warriors involved to battle each other. As his visions started to become a reality, Nightwolf spoke with Johnny Cage and their allies, agreeing to help them in battle with Shinnok and his forces. The shaman later met with Kitana who was with the spirit of Liu Kang, thanks to the bond between them, which kept his spirit whole until they could find a way of restoring him to his body. Though still drained from his battle with Onaga, Nightwolf used what magic he had left to become Liu Kang's spiritual anchor himself.
in his ending, Nightwolf defeated Blaze, gaining his power and catapulting him into the spirit world. There he became the ultimate shaman a living ghost. With His Mysterious Abilities, the shaman found Liu Kang's spirit and guided it back to the physical word, allowing his friend to reunite with his body, thus becoming human again.
