A telekinetic ninja created from souls, Ermac was originally a slave of Shao Khan. Due to the fact that he is comprised of many souls, he speaks in plural, referring to himself as "we" (essentially the Venom of the Mortal Kombat universe). After gaining freedom in Mortal Kombat: Deception, Ermac switches to the side of good in order to repent for his past misdeeds. Many of his moves involve the use of teleportation and telekinesis, making him a very lethal foe.
