Shit we know about Erron Black

• is from earthrealm, and is the only member of the kotal krew not from outworld or conquered by kahn. • tried to join the black dragon, but was turned down, either by kano or daegon • kano teases him for this fact • he hates the black dragon for this fact • he killed kobra • was originally supposed to be female, but was changed to male in development • carries a tarkatan blade (that he probably took from a tarkatan he killed)

"Where the hell did Erron Black even come from!?

I mean, Kotal Kahn met Ermac and Reptile under Shao Kahn’s rule, he met D'Vorah during Mileena’s rule, and he saved Ferra/Torr in the desert. But how the hell did he meet some 150+ Earthrealm mercenary!?

Did he go slumming through the trashy part of Outworld and be like ‘Look at this raccoon faced asshole… He’s mine now.’ And he just up and take Erron back to his palace?

I need to know their history dammit!!"

"I don’t know a lot, but I’ll tell you what I do know.

Obviously, Erron Black is an Earthrealm mercenary hired by Shang Tsung like, a long time ago, in order to kill someone that he wanted dead– we currently don’t know who this person is, nor why Tsung wanted him dead. In order for his services, Tsung slowed Erron’s aging process, making him a very patient and stealthy assassin.

Fast forward a long time, to the events of the MKX comic– according to an except of the MKX comic, Black tried to join the Black Dragon, but was ultimately turned away, by Kano or otherwise. Of course, this leads Kano to tease Black in the game and in the comic, Kano asking repeatedly if Black would like to join the Black Dragon.

This is where it gets interesting– between then and now, Black is somehow recruited by Kotal Kahn to participate in the civil war against Mileena and her forces. Fan speculation has it that Kahn has simply paid Black to join him– due to his characterization and regards towards money and his work so far, it seems to be pretty in character.

Of course, this could be stuff everyone already knows, but I’ll sprinkle my Erron Black knowledge where I can! "

Honestly listening to Erron Black say “do it” in the faction kills makes me stop breathing for a second...
