Yes, he was recruited into the Black Dragon by Kabal with Kira. Take it mind that it was the newly reformed Black Dragon so he didn't really get a chance to meet Kano until Armageddon.

As far as Erron's ties to the Black Dragon: I think he's actually a part of the Red Dragon. Being that MKX takes place 15 years after Deception, Kobra could have actually become a mercenary all this time. I think someone also said something to the light of Erron being a double agent so basically being a spy on Red Dragon for the Black Dragon. I'm not sure of that though. I have no proof. Also, it is quite possible that Kobra/Erron could know Kano in this timeline being that Kano never took refuge in Outworld in this timeline due to not following Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn because they are dead.

Yes, Kabal is dead but Black Dragon hasn't been shut down so it's still the original Black Dragon. As far as Havik is concerned, he and Kabal are not mutually exclusive. Havik can come to Earthrealm regardless. Plus, we have a battleground from Chaosrealm so it's just a confirmation from Boon away from actually having Havik in the game. And I don't think Kobra and Kira are necessarily left behind. They could be Red Dragon in this timeline.
