Baraka is a fictional character in the
fighting game series. Baraka was introduced in
in 1993 as an unpredictable warrior in service of Outworld emperor . He belongs to a race of nomadic mutants called Tarkatan, later revealed in
to be a crossbreed between Netherealm demons and denizens of Outworld, apparently populating the vast wastelands of Outworld. Baraka, like most other members of his race, possesses long retractable blades extending from his forearms.

Baraka is first introduced in
as being a member of a lowly Outworld race called the Nomads, known for unpredictable behavior and possessing a frequent violent streak. He spearheads the attack on 's
in Earthrealm following the conclusion of the first tournament, which in turn lures Liu Kang into Outworld to seek vengeance, as planned by emperor . After Kahn's defeat, he disappeared back into Outworld's wastelands, reemerging in the
storyline as again being recruited into Kahn's forces after successfully fighting an "uprising renegade race in Outworld's lower regions," then taking part in the ensuing invasion of Earthrealm. However, after Kahn is again defeated and his takeover plans go for naught a second time, Baraka sets back out on his own as a
once more.
While passing through the Outworld realm of Edenia prior to the events of
(1999), Baraka encounters the sorcerer , who offers him a chance to rule the realm at his side if he agrees to join the army of the fallen Elder G Baraka, always in the mood for battle, readily accepts, but all along he secretly planned to betray his new masters, which fails to come to fruition after Shinnok's defeat. Baraka attempts to warn Quan Chi about Shinnok's demise, but Quan Chi pretends to have masterminded the events, and after Baraka openly balks at the prospect of sharing the rule of Outworld with Quan Chi, the sorcerer appears to kill him right after thwarting a sudden attempt on his life.
At the time of
(2004), Baraka formed an alliance to the risen Dragon King, , in whose strength he had great faith. When Baraka agreed to follow Onaga, the remainder of his Tarkatan race did so too. Baraka freed
from her prison and recruited her to Onaga's ranks to pose as . Mileena used this position to misdirect the Edenian forces into combat against the Tarkatan raiding parties well away from Onaga to give the Dragon King the time he needed to complete his schemes.
Baraka was first conceived by MK co-creator
as a "savage barbarian demon warrior" named Rokuro, as part of the early development process of the first , but the concept never made it off the drawing board. While brainstorming possible character ideas for Mortal Kombat II, several designers visited a local costume shop and found a
mask, which they painted in order to enhance its horrifying appearance while attaching silver-painted false fingernails to serve as teeth. This mask was worn by , the actor who portrayed Baraka in the game. Divizio stated that the mask was a "skin-tight" fit, and throughout his
filming he was sweating profusely. Divizio told : "He was a pretty cool character, but I didn't like him too much."[]
Early Baraka
by character designer
portrayed him as a masked, bald human ninja armed with . The swords were later used by
- also played by Divizio - in . Another Baraka concept portrayed him as a creature with extra-long, metal talon-studded, muscular arms, but it was thought this might create an unfair reach advantage and so was re-sketched with blades inspired by the
character , whose claws extend from his hands. The third and final attempt at a Baraka design included a full head of black hair tied up in a bun, and a large red dot on his belt to go along with his familiar red-and-white tunic and black pants. The red dot, added simply as a decoration, got axed because it was misinterpreted as symbolizing the red dot on the , and the hair was gone shortly thereafter, finalizing Baraka's bald look used throughout the Mortal Kombat series. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he is seen with a row of spikes projecting off the very back of his head.
By the time Mortal Kombat: Deception had released, it was shown that Baraka's race of Tarkatan were all exact duplicates of one another without any significant features to differentiate them. This was slightly fixed in the 2011 installment of Mortal Kombat, as other Tarkatan appear during the game's story and challenge modes that have different, distinguishing features from each other, most notably in the fact that only Baraka uses his bladed arms while other Tarkatans have visible blades.
Baraka's special moves and
tend to involve his blades. His blade became a weapon style in Deception and Armageddon and could also be pulled out for standard attacks in MK vs. DCU. In MKII, Baraka was originally going to be given a move where he spins his blades at the opponent, but were removed from the game before completion, since they were deemed too powerful. He would later have a blade spin move added in .
Baraka made several appearances in ' Mortal Kombat comic book series, making his first appearance on the first issue of 's miniseries Prince of Pain. Baraka was portrayed as the classic brawn-over-brains type, and had the distinction of speaking in
E in the 1993 Midway-created Mortal Kombat II comic book, his only line being "Baraka show [Johnny] Cage pain!" Baraka was also featured in an eponymous one-shot issue by Malibu Comics in 1995. He was also one of numerous characters who habitually referred to themselves in the
throughout Malibu's entire Mortal Kombat series. Baraka's background is mostly kept in the comic, having him as the leader of the mutants that form part of Shao Kahn's armies. On the following Battlewave series though, he changes sides when Shao Kahn starts replacing his mutants with 's army of undead soldiers. He ends up joining with Kitana, , and
in a rebel force set to defeat the emperor. Despite this, his violent nature often put him at odds with his former comrades.
Lateef Crowder as Baraka in the 2010 short film
Though the character was not in the first
film, Shang Tsung's masked footsoldiers therein were referred to as "Barakas" in the script. Baraka himself was included in the 1997 sequel
and was played by stuntman Dennis Keiffer, but he was never identified by name save for the closing credits, and had no dialogue aside from growling sounds. He attempts to stop Liu Kang from rescuing , who is imprisoned inside a cage in Shao Kahn' this leads into a brief fight scene that ends with Baraka being kicked off the top of the cage by Liu Kang and sent plummeting to his death into a fire pit. In a , an outtake of
falling into the pit earlier in the film was used at the end of this scene. Baraka had a greatly expanded role in the script and novelization, in which he partakes in the opening invasion of Earth in place of Rain alongside Kahn's other generals (, , and ), and has an inconclusive fight with Sonya that sees him gain the upper hand before all fighting is halted by Kahn. In an additional scene that was not filmed, he also oversees prisoners slaving away in an Outworld cobalt mine, where Kitana is held captive. The fight scene with Liu Kang is longer and more detailed, and Baraka is killed when he is crushed by Kitana's cage (a fate instead suffered by Sheeva in the film). He spoke his dialogue therein in complete sentences, in contrast to his speech pattern in the comics.
Baraka appeared in director 's 2010 short film , and in compliance with the film's grittier contemporary setting, his backstory from the games was jettisoned as his origin was changed into his being a former
named Alan Zane. After accidentally killing a patient, Zane goes psychotic and murders over two dozen more, then proceeds to mutilate his face with numerous piercings, file down his teeth, and surgically attach a pair of long metal blades to his forearms, in addition to sporting long . He was played by martial artist . Both the design and storyline for the character were not carried over into Tancharoen's
web series, in which Baraka was reverted to his original Outworld origins. Canadian actor and stuntman Fraser Aitcheson replaced Crowder for a one-episode appearance in the 2011 first season, and the first image of his take on the character was published online by the .
Baraka ranked third on 's ugliest game characters list and as 12th on their list of "top baldies". GamePlayBook listed Baraka as the fourth best Mortal Kombat character, citing his devastating arms and Fatalities.
ranked Baraka as the tenth best Mortal Kombat character, commenting "I'm sorry, but there's just nothing not cool about that" when talking about the blade protruding from his arms. Game Rant placed Baraka as the eighth best character in the series, adding "what the mutant lacked in good looks, he easily made up for with satisfying moves" and considered him to be the weirdest character in MKII. In ' 2012 list of the top 50 Mortal Kombat characters, Baraka placed as seventh, praised for his blades and Fatalities.
said of the character in 1994, "For pure ugliness and a bad attitude, Baraka can't be beat."
Baraka's "Lift'em-up"
in Mortal Kombat Trilogy was given the 3rd place "That's Gotta Hurt" Award in
listed Baraka as one of the character they wanted to see in MK 2011 as "people love Baraka" but he has been absent from many MK titles ever since his debut.
Officially renamed as such in the series canon from "Nomads" in MKII to MK Gold.

Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is a 2010 detailed
directed by , with fight choreography by Larnell Stovall, who also choreographed . Based on the
series of , the short-film "actually was made by the director to sell
on his vision for a reimagined Mortal Kombat film." The pitch eventually evolved into the
and solidified Tancharoen's directing duties on Warner Bros. Mortal Kombat feature film.
The short-film features an alternative version of the Mortal Kombat universe. The characters of the game are portrayed with vastly different origins, based on realism. There is no mention of Outworld or any other supernatural elements, although the tournament itself is a main part of the storyline in this short. Tancharoen himself has noted that he wouldn't shy away from supernatural elements entirely, but they have to be "done in a very tasteful way".
The film follows Deacon City Police Captain
as he informs assassin
about the latter has recently killed actor-turned-undercover-officer
in a fight. Briggs believes they were both working for a man named . He asks Hasashi to kill them in a mysterious tournament hosted by Tsung. When offered his freedom in exchange for accomplishing such tasks, Hasashi reveals that he willingly had himself incarcerated—and could free himself at any time. Then
arrives with a folder and informs Hasashi that his enemy Sub-Zero is alive and the one he killed was his older brother. It becomes clear to Hasashi that the terms of his participation in the tournament involve killing Reptile, Baraka and Shang Tsung in return for access to . Since the real Sub-Zero will be at the tournament, Hasashi, now calling himself , agrees to participate.
as , a captain in the Deacon City Police Department. On his office door at the beginning of the film, the last two letters of his first name are faded, thus reading as "Jacks", a nod to "Jax".
contacted Michael Jai White's representatives and asked about the video, and they answered White believed the shoot was a marketing component for the next Mortal Kombat game.
as , Jackson Briggs's partner. Ryan said she took the part as a favor to a friend.
as , a former movie star that became an undercover agent after his Hollywood career died. In a short flashback, he is killed by . When asked about how he got involved in the project, Mullins said: "I had known Kevin [Tancharoen] for about five years, but I never had a chance to work with him. A few months ago I got a call from Kevin about being involved in a short that he was planning to shoot. He sent me the script and I was blown away. When I sat down to meet with him, and he explained his vision, I was so excited to be involved and could not wait to start."
as , a plastic surgeon who, after accidentally killing a patient, went on to kill two dozen more. Faced with the shame of being labeled a failed doctor, Zane pierced his face, sharpened his teeth, and surgically attached a pair of metal blades to his forearms. In a short flashback, he fights Johnny Cage, finally decapitating him with his arm blades.
as , the top assassin of the Shirai Ryu who offered himself up to the police for killing the man he thought was his nemesis. In keeping with the video game series, his eyes are completely white and his signature spear weapon also appears. His trademark battle-cry "Get over here!" can also be heard at the ending.
as , a mass-murderer born with a rare genetic disorder, , in which his skin produces too many cells and his eyelids are formed inside out. It is said he likes to devour the heads of his victims, which is a nod to his "Head Eat"
from the video game series.
who is seen in the photograph on the YouTube video's primary image preview.
Initially appearing on YouTube, the video was received with confusion by websites such as
and , both of which were uncertain if the video was a viral marketing ploy to promote either a new film or a video game. Contradicting reports came from the actors involved, with White's representatives believing it was an advertisement for an upcoming
game, while Ryan admitted her appearance was as a favor to a friend and described the video as a pitch for a film.
, the director of the short film, spent about $7,500 to produce it. Known for productions with a completely different appeal as dance film
and the musical , Tancharoen took two months to produce everything. Filming took place in April 2010 over a period of two days, using cameras that had been borrowed. Actor Matt Mullins already knew the director, but had not had an opportunity to work with him. A few months before filming Tanchorean called him, inviting him to participate in a short film he was planning to shoot. The script was sent to Mullins who, impressed with the text and the director's vision for the franchise, agreed to participate as Johnny Cage.
Series creator
himself has noted that the film was "awesome" and had "no idea it was being made", though he did note that "probably crosses the line" as far as "re-imagining" goes. He later stated that he thought it was "incredibly well done" and that it was "a legitimate alternate universe Mortal Kombat".
Larnell Stovall, besides being responsible for the choreography of all the fights, was also responsible for presenting
to the project. Jeri Ryan, when asked about her role in the film, said she agreed to do it as a favor to a friend.
