Lycan,

Raiden did say that, yes. And what he was referring to was when Bi-Han was hired by Quan Chi to retrieve the Map of Elements, followed by Shinnok's amulet at first. Bi-Han can sense that Quan Chi is evil, yet he performs the tasks anyway, because he just wanted the payoff. But after he finally gets the amulet, Quan takes it from him and gives it to Shinnok. Raiden shows up and reveals to Bi-Han that he had been deceived into getting the amulet for Shinnok and orders him to get it back in the Netherrealm. Bi-Han eventually does so, albeit only a fake replica of the real amulet, but only Quan knew that it was fake, as he possessed the real amulet. The only reason in my mind that Bi-Han was called a "great Earthrealm defender" by Raiden was because the amulet in the possession of Shinnok would mean the demise of billions on Earth.

But it should not be ignored that Bi-Han did what he did initially, because he he was getting paid to do so (it didn't matter to him whether it was good or evil). It was also stated by Quan during the events that only evil beings can be in the Netherrealm at all while alive, so that meant Bi-Han definitely had some evil within him.
