Overview
The Black Dragon Clan consists of deadly assassins, mercenaries and fearless criminals who are ready to break any rule. Their philosophy revolves around survival, dominance, power and rebellion against authority. They believe that strength is good and weakness is just a stepping stone.
Aside from Kano, many of the main characters like Kabal, Tremor, and Kira are drawn to the relentless appeal of the faction, though each character has their own story to tell. They use inventive weapons and techniques, and their fighting style is raw, praised in the Mortal Kombat universe for maintaining an intense level of strength.
The Black Dragon's true strength lies in their indomitable team spirit, which combined with their unparalleled ruthlessness is a formidable force to be reckoned with. Several plots in the Mortal Kombat universe revolve around this rogue collective, providing compelling spaces for exploration, character development, and even redemption. Despite being portrayed as villains, the Black Dragon faction has their own unique appeal, making them an essential part of the dynamic of the Mortal Kombat universe.
History
The Black Dragon was born from the ashes of its predecessor, the Red Dragon Clan. Kano, like many of his comrades, was unhappy with the restrictions imposed by the Red Dragon's strict discipline and hierarchy. They sought an anarchic existence, free from rules and orders. This desire for freedom and control fueled the flames of rebellion, leading Kano to successfully rebel and thus give birth to the Black Dragon.
The faction thrived in its early years, finding its niche in arms trading, assassination contracts, and various black market trades. However, their brutal acts of violence and notoriety sparked the interest of special forces. This marked the beginning of an intense battle, with officers such as Sonya Blade and Jackson Briggs constantly trying to break up the faction.
Despite the constant attacks by the Special Forces, the Black Dragon Clan survived and even thrived, thanks in large part to Kahn's ingenuity and the ferocious brutality of his faction. Their resilience is largely due to their adaptability and lack of formal structure, making them difficult to predict or define.
Another important aspect of Black Dragon's story is their interactions with other groups in the Mortal Kombat universe. The Black Dragon, given his criminal tendencies, often clashed with the likes of the White Lotus Society and even their own parent faction, the Red Dragon.
Despite all his illegal activities and constant war with Special Forces and other factions, the Black Dragon remains a dangerous and threatening entity in the Mortal Kombat universe. Kahn's leadership and the faction's ruthless methods ensured that the Black Dragon would continue to thrive in the underbelly of the Terran Realm. The band's emblem, the black dragon, is now synonymous with fear, power and ruthless brutality.
