One of the earliest stories that established the Mortal Kombat universe was the relationship between Jax and Kano. Jax, a Special Forces agent, was hot on the trail of career criminal Kano, when he was led into the Mortal Kombat tournament. Kano represented the criminal underworld and Mortal Kombat was a supernatural event that caused all of these things to collide. But, we've only hinted at their shaded past.

What events caused Kax to despise Kano so much? How did Kano himself come to be involved with Shang Tsung? Why is Jax so bent on stopping Kano's gang. Is it the Black Dragon? There's a story to be told here and one that will allow new elements of gameplay, while remaining true to the myths that make up the Mortal Kombat universe.
