Yeah, but Boon is such a troll, he has been hiding info on Kotal Kahn for a long time.

I remember that interview after E3 where the guy clearly asks "Oh, Kotal Kahn!" and Ed keeps talking "Yeah, and D'vorah is...".

He seems to be the Sun God, and probally is worshiped as War and Blood god too (maybe he will be recognized as a deity of mesoamerican culture for real). This family, if the phrase was The Kahns, does bring the connection with Shao Kahn to speculation again...

Of many names they could put, they chose exaclty "Kahn". There must be at the least a connection, even if this means that when Shao Kahn's daddy was a kid and watched Outworld TV he saw a movie with Kotal Kahn and decided to name little Shao as him.
