Biography
Cassandra Carlton Cage was the daughter of Sonya Blade and her husband Johnny Cage after the pair got married in the time following the defeat of Shao Kahn. At some point, the two got divorced due to Sonya's commitment to her work in the military Special Forces which had put a strain on her marriage. Despite that, she maintained a relationship with Cage as their daughter Cassie grew up with her entering into a life in the military and gained a close friend in Jacqui Briggs. In this time, she served as a protector of Earthrealm that responded to extradimensional incursions from other realms. Cassie becomes a sergeant in the Special Forces under her mother, who is a general. Her father puts together a team consisting of Jacqui Briggs, Jax Brigg's daughter and Cassie's best friend, Kenshi’s son Takeda Takahashi, Kung Lao’s younger cousin Kung Jin, and herself as the leader.
For their first mission, Cassie are her team are sent to the Lin Kuei temple to assess if Sub-Zero is still an ally. She tries to lead the team for a sneak attack, but Jin does not listen and approaches the Grandmaster as he and his men are meditating. As they are suddenly surrounded, Cassie tries to reason it out with Sub-Zero. When he refuses, Jin and the others attack without Cassie’s order. All four of them are defeated by Sub-Zero and are bounded. Cassie tells him that he will be in trouble if he kills them. Much to their surprise, he agrees and sets them free. Upon spotting Johnny, they realize that the mission was merely a training exercise so Sub-Zero can test their skills as a team. He tells Cassie that she and her allies show promise, but they will fall short if they do not start functioning as one. The team is then called back to headquarters by Sonya, where they meet Li Mei, the leader of refugees from Outworld. From her, they learn that Mileena has Shinnok’s amulet and cannot control its power, which is why Li Mei’s village was destroyed. To confirm with Kotal Kahn that Li Mei’s story is true, Sonya sends Cassie and her team to Outworld. After crossing worlds, the team is "greeted" by Erron Black, an Earthrealm mercenary working for Kotal Kahn. He demands for them to state their business, and Cassie replies that they are emissaries sent by Raiden carrying his official seal. Erron does not believe them, but Jin convinces him to spare them and take them to Kotal Kahn.
Along the way, they see a bread thief about to be executed. Jin intervened, causing a fight with the team and the Outworlders. After Jin defeated Erron Black and Ferra and Torr, D'Vorah arrived and told them to wait whilst she fetched the emperor. Cassie then angrily demanded that Jin explained why he would risk it all for a bread thief, and his reply was that not all thieves are irredeemable since he was a thief himself. Once Kotal Kahn arrives, Cassie informs him about the Outworld refugees and that Mileena has the amulet. However, the emperor begins to suspect them of aligning with the rebel leader. Jin then asks for a match to absolve the team of all accusations. Kotal Kahn accepts and Jin won the match. It is then decided that they will work together to stop Mileena’s rebellion. Cassie then receives a call from Sonya, who had just received information from interrogating Kano. Mileena’s location is in the Kuatan Jungle, surrounded by several Tarkatan troops. As Kotal Kahn prepared for an attack, D'Vorah suggests that she sneaks into the camp to steal the amulet. Cassie then insists that she go with the Kytinn, and although D’vorah initially refuses, Kotal Kahn allows it since he was indebted to her team. As the battle ensues, Cassie and D'Vorah sneak into the rebel camp, where they ambush Rain. He confesses that he is the one who advised Mileena to use Shinnok’s amulet, knowing that it kills her each time she uses it. Once both sides have fallen, he plans to take the throne himself. It was then that Cassie was ambushed and knocked out by Tanya, leaving D'Vorah to fight and defeat both Edenians on her own. Just as she prepares to kill them, Cassie stopped her and they continue into the main tent. D'Vorah uses her insects to open the lock on the chest containing the amulet, much to Cassie’s disgust. However, Mileena arrives and the Kytinn battles her, leaving Cassie to deal with the lock. After D'Vorah defeats Mileena, the rebel leader is brought bound to Kotal Kahn. Cassie and her team watch in horror as D'Vorah kills Mileena with her flesh-eating parasites. They then prepare to go back to Earthrealm with the amulet, but Kotal Kahn has them captured, stating that he does not trust them with the amulet and he plans to use them as bait to lure Raiden.
Afterwards, she continued her service to Earthrealm with this being acknowledged by her promotion to the rank of Commander. The ceremony was commemorated with a sparring match between her and her mother with Cassie winning the fight against General Blade. It was then that they were informed of a growing threat from the Netherrealm as Revenant Empress Kitana and Liu Kang intended to attack Earth once again. A strategy was devised where a team from the Special Forces would be dispatched into the Netherrealm to destroy the Cathedral of Shinnok that was the source of the enemy's power. Raiden teleported the team to the Netherrealm where he kept the enemy focused on him and distracted in the process whilst the Special Forces team planted bombs on the Cathedral. They were eventually discovered with Cassie forced to battle several of the Revenants until Liu Kang arrived where he caused a cave-in in the underground passages. This buried several Special Forces members including Sonya Blade who ordered her troops to depart as she activated the bomb. Cassie desperately attempted to save her mother but was forced to flee as the Cathedral was destroyed. Upon returning to Earthrealm, Cassie went into mourning over the loss of her mother with her father Johnny Cage being informed of Sonya's demise.
