Enenra

Enenra are creatures of smoke and vapor who possess a shapeless form. They are at times created from the souls of slain mortals and can return to their physical forms at times.

Tomas Vrbada from Prague was once taken as a boy by an obscure cult who intended to sacrifice him to a demon. As he was burnt alive, he returned as an enenra and in his rage he slew his killers. After his murder was avenged, he returned to his mortal form but his memory of the incident was lost and he became unaware of his former life.

After defeating Shao Kahn, the Lin Kuei warrior known as Smoke regained his memory and remembered his past life as well as the origin of his powers.

Behind the scenes
The background of the enenra comes from the Smoke ending in Mortal Kombat 9 video game and serves as a backstory to explain the origin of his powers.
