Masked Guards

The masked guards are a group of (apparently human) royal protectors to Shang Tsung and later to Shao Kahn. They appeared in the background for Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat: Deception, and are more prominently featured in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. A dead masked guard is seen in the opening shot of the Mortal Kombat: Armageddon introduction video. John Vogel played the masked guards seen in the original Mortal Kombat arcade game.
