God of Fire
Having won control of the Hourglass, Liu Kang restarted history. He neutralized the threats and dangers that had come before, crafting a New Era in which all beings would have the opportunity to find peace.
But that peace is now threatened by an enemy that Liu Kang could never have anticipated. It will take all of his wisdom and experience to save not only Earthrealm, but all of reality.
My loyal partner had warned me. Reclaiming my power as Keeper of Time might have unforeseen consequences. In this, as in most things, he proved prescient.
The process I had undergone did irreparable harm to my body. Taking back my power had cost me my immortality.
While my life span would still stretch across eons, I would one day perish. And if the war with Titan Shang Tsung taught me anything, it is that this timeline is not safe without a protector.
Yet I had never given thought to choosing a successor. Who is it that could replace me and protect my New Era?
The answer, of course, is Geras.
Tireless and meticulous, he is perfectly suited to be entrusted with this grave duty.
And no one knows better the temptations of the Hourglass. I have no doubt he will be above them.
