Baraka/Bio & Battles

A member of the Takartan race, which are a race from a foreign world which has been conquered by Shao Khan, Baraka is often depicted as all muscles and very little brain. He’s a warrior serving under the emperor Shao Khan, and he is dangerously loyal. He will fight under the banner of whoever he calls master at the time, and fights with constant killing intent.

Being a nomad, he has served under the flag of many a conqueror or villain, such and Shang Tsung, Quan Chi as well as Shao Kahn and Onaga the dragon king. Baraka’s savagery and eagerness to fight is what both brings him to new masters and what brings his new masters to recruit him.

Like most Takartans before him, Baraja fights with the deadly blades which are a common part of Tatarstan physiology. Unlike other Takartans, however, he is actually seen as a military general, meaning that he immediately holds more status than most other Takartans, which don’t normally amount to much.
