Biography
Original Timeline
Bo' Rai Cho was a male human who was a native to the realm of Outworld. In an effort to claim Earthrealm, Outworld decided to take part in the Mortal Kombat Tournament with Shang Tsung sponsoring the matches. Due to his birth realm, he was unable to participate in the tournament as his victory would be counted in the favour of Shao Kahn. Looking to aid Earthrealm, Bo' Rai Cho came to secretly train warriors for competition.
When his student Liu Kang was murdered by the sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung, he began training Liu Kang's fellow Shaolin Monk, Kung Lao, so that he could slay Shang Tsung. While the other Earthrealm warriors prepared for an attack against the Deadly Alliance, Bo' Rai Cho spied on Shang Tsung's palace and rescued Li Mei, another fellow native of Outworld. Afterwards, he regrouped with the surviving Earthrealm warriors led by the Thunder God Raiden and retreated. Later, he fought against Onaga in the Battle of Armageddon, siding with the Forces of Light. As soon as the Pyramid of Argus rose, he was fighting Tanya, before the pyramid caught up to her, sending her flying. He tried to make it at the top, but Kano threw one of his knives towards his back, making him moan in pain. He soon turned and threw up on Kano and Kobra, making them slide down the stairs of the Pyramid. However, Sheeva got the advantage, and with no time, Bo' Rai Cho was punched in the face, ultimately sent flying. However, Bo' Rai Cho ultimately died, by an unknown warrior.
