Kiri and Ankha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kiri and Ankha are characters featured in the television show Mortal Kombat: Conquest.

Kiri and Anhka were two of the few survivors of the Saurian race of the planet Zaterra after Shao Kahn invaded it and made it part of Outworld. The two were servants of Khan, who could turn into human forms. With Kiri posing as a seer, the two tricked Taja and Siro into killing the guards that held Noob Saibot, the master of shadows. Kiri released him from his Netherealm prison to have Kung Lao killed, and thusly, get into Shao Kahn's good graces. Their plan fails as Siro defeats Noob.

The two later return aligning themselves with Reptile and Kreeya against Shao Kahn and the warriors from Earthrealm. When Kiri and Anhka try to trick Kung Lao, Taja and Siro that they were still with Shao Kahn and fighting against Kreeya, Siro discovers the truth. As the two show their true reptilian forms and battle Kung Lao, Kiri fires an acid blast at him. Siro saves him and the blast hits Anhka, instantly killing her.

Kiri would escape back to Reptile, though their partnership with Kreeya is short lived once she is killed by her daughter Vorpax. Reptile confronts Vorpax with Shao Kahn’s sword, which Kiri stole. Reptile barely loses to Vorpax's proposed mate, Shang Tsung.

Shao Kahn, furious at how Reptile betrayed him and stole his sword, sent his shadow priests and had him and Kiri killed.
