History

The Black Dragon Clan, a notorious criminal organization in the Mortal Kombat universe, has emerged from the dark recesses of the Earth Kingdom. It was founded by the dreaded criminal Kano, a brutal and agile man known for his massive cybernetic eye.
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.
