How Nightwolf joined the Tourney[]
Nightwolf is an Apache warrior who, although introduced as a historian and a shaman, does not live in the past. He is a proud and fierce warrior dedicated to the cause of good, and is in contact with Raiden through visions. As such, he draws on both internal and external spiritual energy to enhance his power.
After the second Mortal Kombat tournament, Nightwolf tended to villagers against bandit attacks. Until one day, a Japanese boy named Saki Amamiya arrived with Ruffian features sported on him. He was asked to teach him how to control this transformation.
