Someone who looked up to as a kid, and when he learned Liu Kang was undead, he joined the Shaolin but was unable to intervene in X because he was still in training. But now his training is complete and he now seeks to free Liu Kang from the undead curse, be he returned to life, or be allowed to die. A good way to introduce Kai and make him Bo' Rai Cho's disciple. It could also be a bridge to keep Liu Kang in MK franchise after 11, cause I think MK11 will be his and Kitana's last game. Kai could look for Bo' Rai Cho to become stronger and both could try to restore Liu Kang's soul; this would give to Kai a good plot and to Bo' Rai Cho a better role. I guess that could work. I just think Kai needs better character development than he did in the original timeline. Heck, he more or less suffered the same problem as Chameleon (male), for that reason.

I agree it becomes unfortunate when good/"unique" characters fall prey to henchman syndrome and lose what makes them unique like with Baraka he's a general yes but he's also just another soldier.
